The accreditation process for anesthesia in the United States is considered one of the most difficult in all medical specialties, with residents required to pass both an oral and written exam to gain certification. This book is specially designed for the American Board of Anesthesiology Oral Examination. The evidence-based approach is presented in a concise outline-oriented format, with an emphasis on test results and visual images. The Knockout Treatment Plan demonstrates the correct method of managing the case to the satisfaction of the examiners, while the Technical Knockout sections give additional tips for successfully passing the examination. The straightforward format of this book makes it suitable not only as an oral review book but also as an introduction to anesthesia rotations for medical students, medical interns, and nurse anesthetist students; furthermore, the book can be used as a technical study guide for anesthesia residents. More than 100 topics in this book have already been board-review tested by residents.

This review is from: Anesthesia Oral Board Review: Knocking Out the Boards (Paperback)

Good review for the orals! I think it needs some improvments though! Misses on some main topics too! Don't expect details on how much doses you give in this emergency or that.. So some lack of details too.. But good over all.. I would recommend a better written books over it like Faust! Or a Co-existing Diseases handbook!

Without a doubt, the most succint and topical board review book out there. Case type reviews prep for the real thing. The book brought together all the esoteric concepts i read into concrete examples that were just like the cases i experienced during my boards.
