Book Reviews
"This is the definitive book for addressing evidence-based anesthesiology. The goal of this book is to provide evidence to the various "hot topics" in anesthesiology. The goal is clearly worthwhile to ensure providers understand the literature discussing the topics. The chapters are honest and highlight gray areas that require further study. This is the fourth edition and there will be many editions in the future."
