I used the third edition of this book for my writtens and orals. I am fellowed in cardiothoracic anesthesia, and boarded in pain medicine. It is more than comprehensive enough for everday practice, and it is more than enough to get you through the written boards, and will certainly help with the orals. Miller, Barash (is there an etc to these two choices?) are much more comprehensive, but they are highly dependent upon the writers of each chapter: while some are great reading, others ramble on incessantly about studies which show effects on giant squid axons, or how 3-74% of rats will react when their tails are clamped. And who can forget the effects of isoflurane on the livers of salamanders? Morgan-Mikhail is put together logically, it is highly readable, and it is extremely affordable, and while it won't give you every answer, it's a good start.

This would be an optimal choice for most medical students with a special interest in anasthesia as well as for anaesthesia residents. It's extremely well-written, neither too detailed nor too simple. The authors write with authority, which is a good thing.

If I had to say something negative about this book, it would be the lack of colourful illustrations (this refers to edition elder to the 2005 edition). But then again, one knows what to expect when buying a Lange medical book. Still, this is a minor drawback, and means nothing in my eyes. I highly recommend this book!

It is a good basic book that covers the essentilas very clearly in not too long chapters. It is a good entry level book for doctors during their first year of residence in anesthesia.
Also for the doctor that needs to update his knowledge.

My personal experience and the reason for buying the book was that I after 5 years i neuroanesthesia needed an update prior to a period as an anesthesiologist in a not specialised department. In this way the book served its purpose well.

My primary source for the ABA exam. I passed the 8/05/08 exam!!! A great source. Read it three times before the exam and if you understand the information you will pass the exam. The regional section was particularly helpful.

it's a good book to catch knowledge from few pages. the only problem that is a little bit old because was published in 2006.

Not an anesthesiologist, but when doing my rotation in school, this book made everything make sense in a short amount of time, even for my simple mind. The anesthesiologists I know use this as their bible to keep themselves sharp on things they don't do very often. Easiest way to understand anesthesia if that's possible.

Morgan & Mikhail Clinical Anesthesia is a great reference book for anesthesia. Takes out a lot of the extra and hits the points in an easy to follow manner. It truly gets a lot of travel time. V

one of the many books adopted for studying the science of anesthesia. very useful for beginners and existing practitioners.

Great book. Gives the important info in short, to the point, sections. Easy to find information. Great reference.

I had the older edition of this book, but the newest edition is definitely improved and has newer, better, and more information. So it was worth getting it. Great book! Definitely a must have for any anesthesia student.
