[Ken · Rating 5 out of 5]

An indispensible read for any anesthetist, this little volume is not really a clinical reference; instead it is written as a "pre-flight" manual for almost any crisis you might encounter. Absorbing and applying its tenets was indispensible for me in managing trauma cases in Iraq.

Very practical and useful.

A practical, objective, clear approach facing many kinds of critical situations in anaesthesiology. Recommended as a useful and rapid reading.
