Residents, fellows, and practising certified registered nurse anesthetists will benefit from the retelling of these actual near misses, the solutions chosen at the time, and a retrospective analysis of those solutions that includes tips for how the problems could have been avoided altogether or resolved differently. An excellent study aid for the American Board of Anesthesiology oral exam and a useful teaching tool for faculty, since near misses such as these are relatively rare and other than reading about them, there really is no way to be prepared to successfully manage such crises. As such, even experienced anesthesiologists and CRNAs will find this to be a worthy purchase.

Editorial Reviews
From the Back Cover
Although near-miss situations are fortunately rare in anesthesiology, it is essential to know how to respond if these situations arise. This collection of actual cases, compiled from the author’s thirty-five plus years of practice in major metropolitan hospitals in the United States, Norway, and South Africa, is an excellent review of potential problems and solutions all anesthesiologists should be familiar with. Succinct case presentations describe a problem and the solution, with each write-up concluded by a retrospective analysis examining whether the solution used was actually the best (or only) choice. Other solutions and equally satisfactory outcomes are explored, and tips to help avoid problems altogether are presented where possible. This book may therefore serve as either an excellent review for the American Board of Anesthesiology’s oral exam or as an easy and practical way for the reader to gain familiarity with unexpected problems in clinical anesthesia.

Great quick reference,
By
This review is from: Clinical Anesthesia: Near Misses and Lessons Learned (Paperback)
If you're looking for a detailed review, this is not the book. If you're looking for "what if" scenarios, this is it. These are all real cases that JBU and his residents were involved in.
Hopefully, you'll never come across these situations, but if you do, and have read this book, you'll have a starting point for your (emergent) therapy. If you can find the earlier book, "Near Misses in Pediatric Anesthesia", grab it too. They are different cases. My bias: I was a resident with JBU at Stanford 10 years ago. Christine Doyle, MD

Experience,
This review is from: Clinical Anesthesia: Near Misses and Lessons Learned (Paperback)
A Fascinating book.
Very few anaesthesiologists have the authors vast experience in 3 contintents, Europe, Africa and USA. Was trained by Dr.Brock-Utne for 5 years in South Africa. His teachings have greatly helped his students in their day to day anaesthetic duties Cheers Allan Hold (Durban)
