Reviews & endorsements
'We recommend this second edition not only for the more experienced clinician, but also for the young resident because basic and advanced concepts are well organized and explained. Indeed, the greatest strength of this book is presenting complex ideas in a simple, understandable manner. The second edition of Clinical Fluid Therapy in the Perioperative Setting, edited by Robert Hahn, provides a constructive addition to current fluid management literature.' Alexandre Joosten, Anaesthesia and Analgesia

'This second edition of Hanh's textbook serves as a worthy update to the original edition, bringing both new and refreshed content that is relevant to trainees and practicing physicians alike. The book serves as a great teaching tool to expand on topics that may be too detailed to cover adequately during bedside teaching sessions. Thus, it can easily find itself at home on the shelf with other books typically aimed at those who administer fluids, including anesthesiologists, intensivists, surgeons, emergency medicine physicians, and other health care providers who work and train in these areas.' Victor Tran, Canadian Journal of Anesthesia
