The final chapter cites a case study that ties together the entire process. It contains only the essential information a student needs to succeed in their brief yet important anesthesia rotation.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book!, June 22, 2005

This review is from: NMS Clinical Manual of Anesthesia (Paperback)

I loved this book! (I wasn't even interested in anesthesia until I read it.) This book can take a student who knows nothing about anesthesia and turn her into a functioning, knowledgable member of an anesthesia team in a matter of days. Read this book (or at least the first few chapters) the weekend before your start your anesthesia rotation, and finish it by the end of the first week. You will be able to answer questions from the attending, and ask even better ones! It is concise, easy to read, and very high-yield. To add to it, it fits in the back pocket of your scrubs.

The word on the street among Harvard Med students is that there are two textbooks that every med student should have and read cover-to-cover: Weinberg "Pulmonology" and Lilly's cardiovascular text. Now that I have discovered this book, I would say that there are three books, and this "Clinical Manual of Anesthesia" is one of them!

This review is from: NMS Clinical Manual of Anesthesia (Paperback)

Great review for those who are new to anesthesia (med students and new residents).
Covers the basic in a concise paragraph form.
Covers lots of information, but is well written.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good coverage of a huge subject, June 9, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: NMS Clinical Manual of Anesthesia (Paperback)

I thought the book was well organized and covered alot of pertinent subjects and algorithms commonly aked about and seen in everyday anesthesia practice.

Also the fact that the handbook can easily fit into a lab coat pocket makes it a great quick reference while in the hospital.

Although anesthesiology is an enormous subject the pocketbook book fullfills its purpose as a quick
reference. I would recommend it to any fourth year on an anesthesia elective or intern on an anesthesia rotation.
