8.9 Conclusions
This information is meant to serve as an overview of the extremely complex subject of anesthesia. It is the intent of this chapter to serve as an introduction to the physician who participates in the perioperative management of patients and should not be considered a comprehensive presentation. The physician is encouraged to seek additional information on this broad topic through the other suggested readings. At least one authoritative text on anesthesia should be considered a mandatory addition to the physician’s resources.
