"Spanning 2740 pages across two weighty volumes, the textbook is literally and figuratively substantial. For those who want to spare their backs (or bookshelves), a digital version is available through Elsevier’s eBooks+ platform, offering features such as customisable layouts, annotation tools, and integrated videos on clinical techniques, including airway management, echocardiography, and ultrasound-guided procedures.... The format of Miller’s Anesthesia makes it ideal as a comprehensive study resource or reference text for in-depth reading, rather than a quick-access guide in the operating theatre. In that sense, it remains an important publication, particularly valuable for residents and practitioners in North America.... Ultimately, the 10th edition reaffirms Miller’s Anesthesia as an authoritative and expertly edited resource. It remains the gold standard reference for anaesthesia in North America." Review by Andrew F. Cumpstey, Jaideep J. Pandit and Eoin M. Kelleher, British Journal of Anaesthesia, September 2025

"The quintessential book for learning the science and practice of anesthesiology and has for years been the standard bearer for resident house staff and attending anesthesiologists." ©Doody’s Review Service, 2025, Joshua E. Insler, MD (Yale School of Medicine)
