Book Description

Publication Date: January 1998 | ISBN-10: 0397587597 | ISBN-13: 978-0397587599 | Edition: 4th

The fourth edition of this text has been completely revised and updated. Organized by body system, it offers a logical, problem-oriented approach through the pre-, peri- and post-operative workup of the patient. There are new cases, including heart, lung and liver transplants, cerebral aneurysms, hypothermia, lower extremity nerve block, chronic pain management for cancer, and laparoscopy for GU surgery, to guide the reader through the techniques. A question-and-answer format prompts the response and offers reasons for the right answer. This guide should be useful when preparing for the American Board of Anesthesiology oral examination.

4.0 out of 5 stars an overly comprehensive review, August 13, 2001

This review is from: Yao and Artusio's Anesthesiology: Problem-Oriented Patient Management (Hardcover)

I do agree that this textbook is a very well-done, well written book with a lot of value for anesthesiologists. However, as a tool for oral board study it is actually a bit too comprehensive and inclusive. Take my word for it, during your oral board exam you are not going to be asked about histologic changes in the bronchial mucosa of the asthmatic or the synthetic pathway of catecholamines. The person studying for the oral anesthesiology board doesn't have time to waste learning material that he or she doesn't need to know. I recommend instead Clinical Cases in Anesthesia by Reed. Same format, much more focused on the material that the anesthesiologist must know for the oral exam.

This review is from: Yao and Artusio's Anesthesiology: Problem-Oriented Patient Management (Hardcover)

You've passed the written boards - Congratulations! Now that you're sober again it's time to start thinking about the orals and this puppy is a big part of the solution. It's set up in an oral board question and answer style. Simply read the question -without looking at their answer- and then answer it out loud like you would if the examiner were sitting there in front of you. I know it's weird but it really does help to also practice in front of a mirror to eliminate all of the bizarre facial tics you never knew you had. Now look at the answer. Were you right or even close? Good! Keep going, you'll hone your style to a razor's edge. This technique, along with some good mock oral practice with those attendings who know how to give them, will have you spraying champagne over your friends and family like you've won the Grand Prix of Monaco the night after!
