This fifth edition of this classic manual has been thoroughly updated with much new information on new drugs and techniques, based on the latest research. The same pocket sized format has been retained, with helpful tables and appendices throughout. Complex surgical conditions have been expanded, with new minimally-invasive techniques now included. There is a new section of chronic pain problems, as well as a new section on anesthesia outside the operating room. This is an authored book, not edited, with a consistent uniform style throughout. There is a new co-author for this edition, Jerrold Lerman.
