4.0 out of 5 stars Consummate pocket reference
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.

3.0 out of 5 stars Waste of white space on thick paper. Keep buying the previous edition.
Please don't buy this book based on the reviews for the previous edition.

While the contents are still good (and not much changed), the format of the new edition is downright stupid. They increased the size of the white margins and the thickness of the paper (to decrease manufacturing costs?), resulting in a probably 50% increase in weight and...

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars MGH got me through anesthesia school, July 22, 2009
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!

3.0 out of 5 stars Waste of white space on thick paper. Keep buying the previous edition., March 26, 2011

Please don't buy this book based on the reviews for the previous edition.

While the contents are still good (and not much changed), the format of the new edition is downright stupid. They increased the size of the white margins and the thickness of the paper (to decrease manufacturing costs?), resulting in a probably 50% increase in weight and cross-sectional area. Definitely not a portable/pocket book anymore.

Do yourself a favor and buy a cheap used version of the previous edition. You'll thank me later.

Very helpful to get help for those cases you don't see often in the OR setting. I would recommend this book to residents as well as to senior anesthesiologists.

4.0 out of 5 stars pretty much an iconic title, January 30, 2010

pretty much everybody I know in anesthesiology has this book. great handbook, being potentially superceded by the proliferation of apps for iPod Touch. However, this is a standard work to have on hand. very helpful book.
