This is a wonderful book that sould be placed in every anaesthesia on-call room for quick reading on the way to prepare for emergencies, as well as in the operating rooms designated for emergency cases. Our emergency medicine colleagues ought to have ready access to this handbook as they prepare patients under their care for the operating room. The editors have assembled a team of authors that includes faculty and trainees in anaesthesia, yet there is a very strong consistency across the chapters.
