"Miller’s Anesthesia could serve as a model for how to assemble a multi-authored text that is fresh, comprehensive, precise and articulate in content." - C. Philip Larson Jr., M.D., Review of the last edition

"Miller’s Anesthesia continues to serve as the most in-depth review textbook of contemporary anesthesia.

It presents the full range of anesthesia-related knowledge, from the most fundamental aspects of physiology and pharmacology to detailed subspecialty management to the newest technologies that will affect our daily practice in the near future.

It well deserves a place on the reference shelves of anesthesiologists, departmental libraries, and other institutional collections".
