This well written and excellently illustrated equipment book is a welcome addition to find its way into the broad and often confusing armamentarium of modern anesthesiologists. The authors have to be congratulated with undertaking such a needed venture as this book which will enhance safety and successful administration of anesthesia.
Essentials of Anaesthetic Equipment will be warmly welcomed by trainees and teachers alike as it is easy to read, very well illustrated and as a clear and accurate guide to successful techniques.
