The Pharmacology of Anesthetic Drugs (5th ed.)

This classic was first written in 1939 when the specialty of anesthesia was in its incipient stages. Now completely updated and enlarged, it is entering its 5th Edition and has seen numerous printings. The format remains the same as in the original edition, with succinct statements describing the effect of a particular anesthetic or combination of anesthetics on a particular organ system. As before, the introductory pages give a general summary of the chemistry of anesthetic drugs.
