by Catherine Marcucci (Editor), Norman A Cohen (Editor), David G Metro (Editor), Jeffrey R Kirsch (Editor)

Editorial Reviews

Product Description

This pocket book succinctly describes 215 common, serious errors made by attendings, residents, fellows, CRNAs, and practicing anesthesiologists in the practice of anesthesia and offers practical, easy-to-remember tips for avoiding these errors. The book can easily be read immediately before the start of a rotation or used for quick reference. Each error is described in a quick-reading one-page entry that includes a brief clinical scenario, a short review of the relevant physiology and/or pharmacology, and tips on how to avoid or resolve the problem. Illustrations are included where appropriate. The book also includes important chapters on human factors, legal issues, CPT coding, and how to select a practice.

Most Helpful Customer Reviews 19 of 19 people found the following review helpful: 5.0 out of 5 stars Great book. Very practical and easy to read, August 18, 2007 By  jd - See all my reviews This is a great book. It has a lot of practical advice that has clinical applications, not just theory. This is what makes the book different from many of the other anesthesia texts. In addition there are 2 sections of the book that many other books don't cover: how to go about looking for jobs/assessing a practice you might join, and also medical coding and payment. The book is quite easy to read and each chapter or section is short and to the point. The authors and editors of the book are also donating the royalties of the book to the Foundation for Anesthesia Education and Research (FAER), which is a great cause. 13 of 13 people found the following review helpful: 5.0 out of 5 stars Good Reference, October 10, 2007 By  James Mellema "nitejazz" (Sitka, Alaska) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)    This is an outstanding collection of pearls for anesthesia providers of all levels from student to the fully qualified. Much of the material was not new after 35 years clinical experience but it made for a great review. The short anecdotal format is a comfortable method to learn and review this type of material. Unlike most anesthesia reference works it is an easy read and makes for nice 5 minute sessions. I think it would make a good launching point for teaching moments with anesthesia trainees and other interested students.
