Reviews

From the book reviews: The monograph is comprehensive yet eminently readable. The chapters are concise, but each is thorough without obvious weaknesses. ... this text is a valuable resource for trainees who seek a more thorough understanding of some of the technology used in the hospital. ... would be most at home in the library of a training program in emergency medicine, anesthesiology, surgery, or critical care medicine. (Nicholas S. Goehner and Philip E. F. Roman, Canadian Journal of Anesthesia/Journal canadien d'anesthesie, Vol. 61, 2014)
