Each chapter is based on a case history and questions that address disease knowledge and differential diagnosis, progressing through preoperative evaluation, intraoperative management, and postoperative care. The discussion of each question is followed by a short list of the most important references on that topic. The new edition is in full color, and the interior has been redesigned to make it easier to read. There is a new section on pediatric anesthesia. All major areas of anesthesiology are covered.
