About this book
Reviews
From the book reviews:
“This book addresses an interesting topic area, and one which has gained increasing focus both in the professional and lay press over recent years. … it is an excellent resource for somebody new to the field or who is an ‘occasional’ bariatric anaesthetist. I would recommend it to trainees preparing for the fellowship, but also as CPD for consultants and career grades who are engaged in ‘occasional’ bariatric practice.” (M. Bellamy, British Journal of Anaesthesia, Vol. 113 (6), December, 2014)
“Each chapter, written by a different set of experts, is presented as a controversy in the management of the morbidly obese. … those who wish to read a review of expert opinions and current literature in the field of morbid obesity will find the text useful. … the editors have produced a book that consolidates the current literature and expert opinion pertaining to the perioperative management of the morbidly obese.” (Albert Moore, Canadian Journal of Anesthesia/Journal canadien d'anesthésie, Vol. 60, 2013)
