This review book was once a top review book. However, in the age of evidence-based practice, it is very outdated (2001)and needs to be overhauled with current literature references and up to date treatment protocols. After reading most of it as a requirement in school, I have become very frustrated having to go to other sources for more up-to-date information while reading through it. There is no other review book out there similar to it with short concise information on all the important topics in anesthesia rather than the question type review books others have published. . .therefore, it is unique. Dr. Faust. . .please update this book!!

I used this text as my framework for written boards review and supplemented with other more-in-depth texts. It was more than enough to pass.

If you want a good review of all topics related to anesthesia, then this is it. The chapters being short, sweet but in depth, make for a quick but knowledge gaining read. Good book for the library of Anesthesia Assistants.

This is one of those books that can be appreciated by almost every clinician. Dr. Faust has done a fantastic job of applying basic science principals to practice. After being away from the classrooms of medical school for awhile, one tends to become myopic and reliant upon specialty-specific pricipals. This book book helps dust off those cryptic vaults within the cerebrum and can really get the acetylcholine flowing.

The Anesthesiology Review is the most comprehensive and informative text for medical students and anesthesiology residents. I am finishing up my third year at Duke Universtiy Medical School. I wish that all my text books were as easy to read and made subjects such as 'automatic internal cardiac defibrillator procedures' interesting.

A well summarized material of the most commonly discussed (or tested) in the world of Anesthesia! Serves as a coffee table companion or an exam review! Only down side is that it's so outdates! Needs and newly refreshed edition soon! 2001 iso ages ago!

Great review book for all the previously mentioned reasons (i.e: concise, short chapters with the "must know" information). However, it is time for an update, as most of the chapters have references from the '80s and '90s. An overhaul is needed to stay relevent in the everchanging world of anesthesia.

I don't think that this is a MUST have because there are others out there like it, and the questions do not exactly resemble the ones on the real boards. It is a "should have" just because the volume of questions is great, they are subdivided into topics for convenient review, and the explanations are good. The book is small enought to carry around.

Great concise review of the major points for anesthesia review. Simple and easy to carry around, most subjects covered in a couple of pages.

Excellent book. Very short chapters. It is very detailed and covers the important facts.
