Rezensionen

"In this age of emphasis on evidencebased veterinary medicine the authors fulfill their intention to expand this theme. However, opinion of such experienced anaesthetists should not be discounted; while there is more evidence than opinion than in previous editions, when evidence is sparse, the common sense advice from these authors is well founded. The layout is attractive and easy to use, and the book covers both general principles and practical advice. It should be on the shelves of every veterinary practice and in every student's library." Reviewed by: Polly Taylor. Date: 25/07/2014

'The before, during, after, how and why of every anaesthesia is clearly explained in this thorough "anaesthesia bible. The different anaesthetic methods are described in detail and, in the second part of the book, species specificities are also taken into account. No doubt this will be a reference throughout your professional career, whatever path you follow'. Reviewed by: Fabienne Dethioux Date: December 2014
