Reviews

"...Miller’s Anesthesia remains relevant through its resolute commitment to providing practical, accurate, and up-to-date knowledge. In our opinion, this updated reference is worth both the monetary and shelf-space investment for the trainee or practicing anesthesiologist. The book is arguably among the definitive anesthesia references and its latest iteration consciously adapts and evolves, cementing its importance to the anesthesiology community." - Eryn L. Thiele, MD and Edward C. Nemergut, MD (Department of Anesthesiology, University of Virginia Health System), Anesthesia & Analgesia, June 2020
