'We recommend this second edition not only for the more experienced clinician, but also for the young resident because basic and advanced concepts are well organized and explained. Indeed, the greatest strength of this book is presenting complex ideas in a simple, understandable manner. The second edition of Clinical Fluid Therapy in the Perioperative Setting, edited by Robert Hahn, provides a constructive addition to current fluid management literature.'
