Edition: First Authors: Hutton, Cooper, James III, Butterworth IV Description: Rumoured to be the favoured text for Primary examiners this is a large and fairly comprehensive general text. It does suffer from indexing problems and is likely to be more honed for the next edition. It's own synopsis is as follows: "A new, problem-orientated approach has developed for teaching anesthesia, and this book follows that approach. Its four sections correspond closely with the four-year training program set out by the American Board of Anesthesiology for candidates studying for the Diploma in Anesthesiology and with the new FRCA primary examination. The first three sections provide an integrated core text, exploring material that every trainee needs to know and understand, while the fourth section is a multi-author review of more specialized topics. Experts from around the world contribute their knowledge, and so the reader gains the best of current opinion and practice. High-quality illustrations are a concise source of information on key topics."
