Customer Reviews

A core book for anaesthetic pharmacology
The previous edition of this book got me through the pharmacology aspects of the Primary FRCA. The new edition is more concise with updated chapters reflecting advances in anaesthetics. It is definitely more readable than the previous edition. This is a must book for anaesthetists.

Very necessary
This book is a must for any budding anaesthetist and will become your bible! Updated and easy to read but after the primary you'll probably be glad to see the back of it!
