This book is a great asset to any PACU nurse. For both new PACU nurses as well as more experienced PACU nurses, this book is an excellent reference. It covers all the systems as well as many of the drugs our patients receive intraop as well as post op. My colleagues agree, and I have ordered this book for some of them as well!!

Informative and thorough, great reference book.
