Recenzje

"Cognitive Changes After Surgery in Clinical Practice provides valuable background about various aspects of POCD, an entity that should concern anesthesiologists. Small enough to fit in a scrub top side pocket, the book can be conveniently carried and usefully perused." (Stuart R. Hameroff, Anesthesia & Analgesia, Vol. 130 (3), March, 2020)
