5.0 out of 5 stars A Barash Follower, August 7, 2004

By	Griggsby Wright, MD (New Mexico/Arizona) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Clinical Anesthesia (Hardcover)

In Anesthesiology they say you are either a "Barash Person" or a "Miller Person." It is my personal opinion that Barash does probably the best job at providing content that is relevant and devoid of minutia. All sections contain material that is optimal for reading and assimilation. The text is large, yet it is far from dry. I highly recommend this as "The" backbone text for Anesthesiology!

4.0 out of 5 stars Good standard text book with some surprising omissions, March 4, 2003

By	mk (Cincinnati OH) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Clinical Anesthesia (Hardcover)

If you consider buying you might want to add the little "handbook" that goes along with it. This combination works pretty well for review.
Overall, most chapters are well written and complete. However, the index is often less than ideal and can make finding a not so outlandish topic like SBE-prophylaxis rather difficult.
Should you get this one instead of the big "Miller"? Well, the coverage in Miller is still broader and more complete but at the price of a abundant prose, abundant weight and two volumes. Again, in my view the handbook makes this book more useful.

5.0 out of 5 stars no title, May 13, 2009

By	V. Alessandro "ep doctor" - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

easy to read; it's a work clinical oriented in comparison to MIller (the last one is fantastic but heavy and encyclopedic).
well done the items concerning mec. vent. and airw. handling.
it's cheap considering the ratio value/price.
it covers all you need in your practice.
