The emphasis is on both the planned technique and more importantly the logic or reasoning behind the suggested technique.

This book addresses all important procedures in anesthesiology, including preoperative evaluation, airway management, and fluid administration. Every chapter discusses a specific surgery or procedure. Some topics of special interest are also included.
