Editorial Reviews

Review

"This book provides a comprehensive review of current anaesthetic practice. It is well illustrated with uncluttered diagrams and tables together with useful key points highlighted at the end of each chapter. The format in size, layout, and content is aimed at the examination candidate, but the reality is, it is a book for all."- British Journal of Anaesthesia

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Summary of Most Important topics in Anesthesia, April 8, 2001

By 

Elder Statesman Doctor "doctordavid911" (KS, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Anesthesia Secrets, 2e (Paperback)

I owned the first edition of this book during medical school while taking a rotation in Anesthesiology, and it was an INVALUABLE aid! I could find many answers to questions I was "pimped" on during the rotation, which were hard or impossible to find in the standard large text books. I highly recommend it to anyone doing a rotation in, planning on going into, or working in and around Anesthesiologists! An absolutely wonderful book, buy it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book for 4th year Medical Students, August 13, 2006

By 

G Willikers (New York, NY) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Anesthesia Secrets: with STUDENT CONSULT Access (Paperback)

This book is extremely well written and has all the information you are most likely to be pimped on. When residents have seen me reading it they say this is one of the best books around and that this new edition is extremely well done with the use of color and organization of topics. Most of these same residents will whip out their old copies and ask if they can compare the two to see if its worth them buying the new edition.

If you already have a solid Physiology background, I suggest buying only this book and not wasting your time buying the baby Miller(Basics of Anesthesia).
