Morbid Obesity: Peri-operative Management (Cambridge Medicine)
"This is an excellent book that provides useful and practical information on an important subject....fully explains the issues unique to this population and uses more illustrations and graphs to aid readers' understanding."--Doody's Review Service"I highly recommend this text to all practicing anesthesiologists. Certainly, the current state of knowledge regarding obesity as a pathophysiologic entity is vastly different from the information I learned in medical school and during my residency training. Confronted with obesity at many levels in my clinical practice, I feel that this text has immediately, significantly, and positively impacted my ability to care for such patients."    Sphere (2011)"The book's easy-to-read chapters and efficiently indexed information make it a very useful tool for quick reference in the operating room or preoperative assessment setting. The text is filled with easy-to-read figures and tables, which only enhances its usefulness in clinical practice. The editors even provide a list of abbreviations in the front of the book. The editors have clearly achieved their goal of providing a comprehensive yet very accessible manual for the care of the morbidly obese patient."    Anesthesiology (2011), David W.
