* A unique "Question and Answer" format makes reference and review easy and convenient.
* 90 contributors provide diverse points of view and offer a wealth of valuable clinical "pearls."
* Over 800 crisp illustrations clarify concepts, problems, and techniques.
What's New:
* The most recent practice guidelines, techniques, and technologies have been integrated into the text.
* New chapters address hot topics such as Critical Incident Management; Laparoscopic Procedures; Office-Based Anesthesia; Muscle Relaxants; and Mass Casualty Anesthesia.
* Many chapters have been combined or deleted to reduce redundancy.
