Anaesthesia and Intensive Care This text should find a place in all department libraries and is recommended to all clinicians for updating their medical knowledge. Overall, this textbook brings together the disparate subjects of endocrine physiology and pathology, clinical endocrinology, and relevant clinical anaesthesia and intensive care medicine, in a single concise text which should be immensely helpful to anaesthetic and perioperative physicians managing endocrine patients for elective and emergency surgery. I recommend it as a reference text for departments of anaesthesia, as most of us encounter diabetes and thyroid surgery regularly, and could potentially be faced with an unexpected rare endocrine wlwctive or emergency case at any time. tja.oxfordjournals.org This is an excellent tool for anesthesia trainees at all levels to acquire expertise in the perioperative implications of endocrine diseases. It will also benefit experienced anesthesia providers seeking to refresh their knowledge on the subject.
