Editorial Reviews

Review

University of Chicago Pritzker School of Medicine, Zdravka Zafirova, MD -- This is the seventh edition of a popular concise but comprehensive overview of the essentials of perioperative practice. It is intended as a reference of all aspects of perioperative management in an easily accessible pocket format, an objective it achieves. The book can provide knowledge assistance to any perioperative practitioner in a busy clinical situation. However, it is most valuable to anesthesia trainees at all levels -- medical students, residents, fellows, and nurse anesthetists. The editors have called on the expertise of wide range of specialists to contribute to this book. The three parts of the book cover an array of topics in preoperative evaluation, anesthesia administration, and perioperative care. The topic selection is comprehensive, covering the entire perioperative period. The chapters are well written in a concise outline layout with highlighted key points, allowing for easy accessibility while providing considerable depth of information. The discussions of the anatomy and physiology at the foundation of anesthesia practice are helpful. Excellent illustrations complement the text and are especially valuable in areas such as monitoring and regional anesthesia. Overall, this is an excellent pocket reference on all aspects of perioperative practice. The expansion of medical knowledge dictates the need for new editions. This is an essential tool for the professional development of any anesthesia practitioner. Weighted Numerical Score: 94 - 4 Stars!

This review is from: Clinical Anesthesia Procedures of the Massachusetts General Hospital: Department of Anesthesia and Critical Care, Massachusetts General Hospital, ... Williams & Wilkins Handbook Series) (Paperback)
Anyone involved in anesthesia generally recognizes the Mass Gen. as the best pocket reference out there. This new edition is no different. When you need something fast b/c it has slipped your mind, this is the 'goto' book.

I highly recommend it to all MD/DOs, CRNAs & SRNAs.

this book is the best concise operating room anesthesia reference available.
anything bigger would be too large, it is not designed to teach but more to remind.

This review is from: Clinical Anesthesia Procedures of the Massachusetts General Hospital: Department of Anesthesia and Critical Care, Massachusetts General Hospital, ... Williams & Wilkins Handbook Series) (Paperback)
I love Mass General. This book is small enough to put in your pocket or in any bag so you can take it with you into the OR. I used it constantly throughout anesthesia school. I definitely recommend having this reference!
