Reviews / Votes
"This third edition book masterfully reviews physiologic, pharmacologic, and other important principles of pediatric anesthesiology. It is an easy read that highlights topics ranging from fetal lung development to pediatric critical care. The book provides brief but excellent overviews of congenital syndromes and diseases that are unique to the field, and offers sound organization, allowing for quick reference and review. The previous edition was published in 2016. This is a timely, informative, and useful update to the prior edition."
