Anesthesia is often described as the best example of applied pharmacology. Indeed you probably cannot be a good anesthetist if you do not have a good grasp of pharmacology. A key aspect to a good anesthetic is the skill of exploiting the favorable pharmacodynamic interactions between agents. This superbly written and easily understood review by Hannan and Anderson helps demystify the complex science behind these interactions.
