Best anesthesia text for medical students,
By A Customer
This review is from: Basics of Anesthesia, 4e (Hardcover)
This is the best text for medical students and first year residents that I have reviewed. It starts from "ground zero", presuming no knowledge of anesthesia, and builds upon a basic science background (especially in areas like pharmacology) to incorporate material learned during the first two years of medical school. My favorite part of the text are the pearls of knowledge that appear throughout the chapters to highlight information. These highlights include tables of important anatomical/ physiological facts, or drug dosing information; as well as extremely useful differential diagnoses for monitor failures or values outside of the normal range.

Excellent introduction,
By Brain Drain (Everywhere, U.S.A.) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Basics of Anesthesia, 4e (Hardcover)
Unlike some people, I found this book to be very readable, which in my opinion makes it an excellent choice to start off your anesthesia training with. I found that it offers a quick run-through of most topics. Unfortunately, I haven't opened this book since I finished my first year. Instead I go to the more detailed texts. I'm not sure about studying for the boards from it. It doesn't seem to me like it has enough information. But anyways, I think that it's a great introduction and I have to say that it helped me many, many times during my first few months in anesthesia. I would buy this book again.

A must for the written boards,

This review is from: Basics of Anesthesia, 4e (Hardcover)
Do yourself a favor when you start to REALLY study for the writtens. Take ALL of your other anesthesia books and stack them in the corner across the room. Then sit down and basically KNOW THIS BOOK FRONT TO BACK (about 4 or 5 different colors of highlighter is about right). Take a bunch of practice exams (the MGH workbook is pretty good) and you'll be ready to knock back a few cold ones the night after you smoke the writtens. Works for the Re-cert also.
For the orals check out Yao's "Problem-Oriented Patient Management".
