"This is a wonderful book that sould be placed in every anaesthesia on-call room for quick reading on the way to prepare for emergencies, as well as in the operating rooms designated for emergency cases. Our emergency medicine colleagues ought to have ready access to this handbook as they prepare patients under their care for the operating room. The editors have assembled a team of authors that includes faculty and trainees in anaesthesia, yet there is a very strong consistency across the chapters." - Doody's Notes, Feb 2013

"Despite its size, this convenient little pocket handbook is surprisingly rich and contains key recommendations and advice about treatment in emergency medicine. It will be helpful for those on duty in both the emergency room and the operating room." - Tidsskrift for Den norske legeforening, Jan 2013

"...a valuable text for trainees to refer to as they move through training programmes and are exposed to a wider variety and complexity of emergency caseloads." - Dr Chris Rollason, Dept. of Anaesthesia, Nottingham University Hospitals, Nottingham, UK

"The chapters are well organized with clearly laid out sections.. Each chapter starts with a text box of key points and ends with selected references. The key points are most useful... : the priorities for anaesthetic management are clearly delineated... In general, the book provides rapid access to useful knowledge based on contemporary literature." - A. Vats and P. M. Hopkins for the British Journal of Anaesthesia, July 2013
