Overall, this reference book comprehensively presents the anesthetic, procedural, and administrative considerations associated with providing care in non-OR settings in a manner that is both engaging and relevant to a diverse range of anesthesia personnel. Considering the speed at which non-OR procedures are evolving in an environment of increasingly constrained resources, the utility of such a reference in streamlining anesthetic care in both community and tertiary centers alike cannot be overemphasized.
