"...there are no books devoted solely to this area of anesthetic practice. This book fills the void...Overall, this is a useful summary of neuraxial anesthetic considerations, especially the role these techniques can play in a wide range of surgical procedures. It is the first book dedicated solely to neuraxial anesthesia, an area in which every practicing anesthesiologist needs to be proficient. All levels of practitioners can benefit from this book. 3 Stars."--Doody's Review Service Doody's 20081119
