Acute Pain Management: An Excellent Practical Guide,
By Mark Boswell (Cleveland, Ohio) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Acute Pain Management - A Practical Guide (Paperback)
This little pocket sized book is a wonderful resource for practicing physicians (and physicians who need more practice). We use the book as a textbook for the first and second year anesthesiology residents rotating on pain medicine. The attendings learn a thing or two as well. The handy, thoughtful questions at the end of the book provide a useful study guide and testing tool for the rotation.The content is accurate and the writing is consise and clear. The chapters are well-organized and include a list of topics at the beginning. The chapters are just the right size to get the basics quickly. In addition, there is information that is difficult to get easily elsewhere, even in a huge tome. I am ordering an additional ten books for the residency program today. Can't beat the price of about [$$$] per copy.

This review is from: Acute Pain Management - A Practical Guide (Paperback)
I totally agree to Dr. Boswell's comment on this book. I consider it to be the best book in acute pain management. About 4 years ago, when I was doing my Pain Management Fellowship in the Dept. of Anesthesiology at Univ. of Michigan Medical Center, I struggled hard for a quite a while during my rotation in the Acute Pain Service, as my residency training was in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation(PM&R), rather than Anesthesiology and there had been no acute pain exposure at all during my PM&R residency. I was fortunate to be accepted as the 1st non-anesthesiology pain management fellow in the Dept. of Anesthesiology, Univ. of Michigan. Although there were a few pain medicine text books(much thicker and heavier) available at that time that covered some aspects of acute pain, most of them were incomplete or fragmented, not to mention they were way too bulky. I struggled until I found this handy book of Acute Pain Management(2nd Edition, 2001). It is comprehensive and concise. It contains thorough discussion on opioid pharmacology, local anesthetic pharmacology, route of opioid administration, IV PCA, epidural PCA and discussion of other analgesics used in acute pain settings. It is pocket sized so that I could put it in my white coat when doing my round. With the help of this book, I found myself catching up quickly during the rest of my acute pain services. I highly recommend this book to any residents or fellows rotating in acute pain service. It is also a good resource for all other physicians including surgeons who need to provide service for post op pain control.

This review is from: Acute Pain Management: A Practical Guide, 3e (Paperback)
this book is well written and well organized but also very basic and kind of expensive for what it offers. useful for the internist or junior anesthesia resident - if you are doing anesthesia or pain as a specialty, this seems to fall short... the MGH pain book requires more effort to read but also has considerable more info and is more appropriate if you are looking for an abridged pain text...
