This book is pretty good for testing recently read material from Barash Text or Handbook. Has old question format and a bit difficult to follow. Has pretty good question explainations... helps with learning. Would recommend Hall's book of questions " Anesthesia: A Comprehensive Review" over this text.

it's a good book and you can review topics from it, but questions are a little easy and shallow, so you can't really make an exercise for a test or a board, for example.

This book is an good supplement to a review course and to a text in preparation for boards! Barash is an expert in the field of anesthesia and it is nice to have his text in a board prep format. The explanations for each question are great. Contrary to the other review, i don't the question format is weird or difficult at all. I also like that the chapters are short and limited to only 1 specific section with about 12 - 25 questions on each topic! I thought this book was a nice addition study efforts for boards!Good Luck!

This Barash version of test questions is probably among the more useful i have yet found (but i have only explored two so far). Offering useful rationales for the test questions, the text also requires synthesis. Unlike the Nagelhout, it is also separated by systems, and type of exam questions to help one identify categories of weakness to re-exam during your study prep. Overall, one of the better board prep books i have seen.

I just completed my nurse anesthesia boards with a pass! I found that this review book along with reviewing the key points from [[0781787637:Barash]] was the most helpful. This review book does a great job of asking questions that make you think about the key content from each chapter. The questions aren't just multiple choice but also includes multiple multiple type questions which is reflective of the nurse anesthesia board's content. The rationale for each question's correct answer is very well done, concise, but thorough and helpful. I found this more helpful and more reflective of the points that Barash (one of the key textbooks the board exam takes their info from) emphasizes than Valley Review. I highly recommend this book as a key part of your board review.

Some of the questions are pretty superficial, but they make sure you know the basics, but there are plenty from each chapter that will make you think long and hard and force you back to the chapter to do some reading.

The book came in a timely fashion and was exactly as described. I would order again from the same source.
