Reviews
“Senior trainees, fellows, and attending anesthesiologists, intensivists, and pulmonologists treating morbidly obese patients are an appropriate audience for this book, written by an international cast of contributors. … Given the international group of authorities and the breadth of topics, this book is an important contribution to our understanding of respiratory management in the obese patient.” (David J. Dries, Doody's Book Reviews, February, 2018)
