Description

Miller’s Anesthesia is the comprehensive reference work of anesthesiology, published as a two-volume set. This 10th Edition was edited by Michael A. Gropper, Lars I. Eriksson, Lee A. Fleisher, Neal H. Cohen, Kate Leslie and Oluwaseun Johnson-Akeju, and published by Elsevier in September 2024, with 3,016 pages in print. The publisher presents it as a leading reference and trusted learning resource for practitioners and trainees: the book you consult when you need the full depth of a topic.

Who needs Miller’s Anesthesia

• Anesthesia residents who want an authoritative source to read in depth around cases and for exam preparation.
• Fellows in anesthesia subspecialties needing detailed background beyond core textbooks.
• Attending anesthesiologists and educators who prepare teaching sessions, protocols or departmental discussions.
• Anesthesia departments and libraries that need a reference covering the whole specialty.

A reference of this size is rarely the best first book. Many trainees start with the concise Miller’s Basics of Anesthesia and then turn to the full reference for depth. Our guide to the best anesthesiology books for residents explains this progression.

Scope of a two-volume reference

Spread across two volumes and more than 3,000 pages, the book aims to cover the whole specialty: the scientific foundations of anesthesia, pharmacology and physiology, anesthetic techniques and monitoring, subspecialty and procedure-specific management, and perioperative and critical care. Its breadth is what distinguishes it from single-volume textbooks.

Why the 10th Edition matters

Published in 2024, the 10th Edition is the most recent edition of Miller’s Anesthesia. Anesthesiology changes with new drugs, monitoring, techniques and perioperative evidence, so if you rely on a comprehensive reference it makes sense to work from the latest version. If your program cites an older edition, note that chapter numbers and content may differ.

How to use a 3,000-page reference

Nobody reads a reference of this size from the first page to the last. The trainees who get the most out of it use it selectively, with a clear question in mind each time they open it. Three habits help:

1. Search, do not read cover to cover. Use the PDF search to go straight to the topic behind today’s question or case.
2. Read one chapter in depth per week. Choose it according to your rotation and summarise it on a single page.
3. Follow the references. When a topic matters for a presentation or protocol, use the cited studies as a starting point and look up recent literature on PubMed. Our guide on how to write a medical literature review can help.
