Description
118 international experts provide you with complete coverage of basic and clinical science in anesthesiology. They emphasize the principles
and clinical applications of molecular and cell biology, physiology, pharmacology, and physics and measurement. Over 700 full-color illustrations
and easy-to-read tables and graphs help you understand every detail.
Audience
Anesthesiology Residents, Anesthesia Assistants, Nurse Anesthetists, Anesthesiologists, and Health Science Libraries
