It's great to have another question book out there as Hall is becoming quite dated. That being said, there are quite a number of inaccuracies in this book which calls into question the quality of editing. The inhalational anesthesia chapter in particular has quite a few errors in the answer explanations. Almost that entire chapter uses Morgan & Mikhail as its source. Now I like that book but when I'm preparing for boards I would prefer Miller and Barash to be cited (although the latest edition of Barash unfortunately suffers from poor editing).Edited March 27,2014: On further use of the book, I have decided to improve the rating from my initial 3 stars to 4 stars. I think that this is likely the best question source currently available, closely followed by the M5 Board review online and Hall.
I have been cherishing this book ever since I got it.Indeed I love it and it is amazingly well written.(Questions)The Questions are all high quality. They include broad coverage of the advanced topics that we need to know to pass the board. I think this book will also help me ask good questions to my residents once I become an anesthesia attending in the near future.(Answers)The answers are smartly summarized all through the book. They are not written in a form of just a paragraph, but also contain figures, tables or bullets. For example: Page 373 has a table that summarizes condition (i.e. warfarin, hemophilia, vWD etc) vs. PT/INR, PTT, and more. Page 155 has a table that compares disease (MG, L-E myasthenic synd, myotonic dystrophy and Duchenne) and the responses to different classes of neuromuscular blockades. Most importantly, they are based on literatures that are up-to-date and trustworthy. It helps me learn and memorize important facts that are frequently asked.
Different authors write different topics and explanations- some sections are stellar with succinct explanations and bold face key words while other sections are sheer ranting and make me even more confused than before I started. Topics are somewhat outdated (quit talking about halothane!!!). I only got through 3 chapters before I moved onto other question banks like M5 review online and passmachine. Would NOT recommend.
This book saved my fanny for both the ITE and the Part 1 Board Examination. Very good questions, every extensive explanations with sources cited for further reading. I used this in combination with Barash, Jensen's review, and got and passed both the ITE and Part 1 after having some trouble with the ITE in my earlier years.I had tried Hall for a question book. I found that it was rather dated, even in its latest edition. This was much more up to date. I had my program director, competency committee members, and oral board examiners go over this book. All were in agreement that this was an excellent source. Yes, halothane is included, which is still used in some parts of the world if you do missionary work. But newest concepts were there.My only complaint is that the answers didn't reference the ABA Keywords they were connected to. I would encourage the authors to do so with the next edition. Aside from that, I had no complaints.If you learn by asking questions, this is the book for you.
you need a lot of time to study for this book. It's quite useful, complete and deep in the anesthesiology material. Some questions mention drug that they are in use nowadays but The Board still considers interesting. I recommend this book if you have time and prepare yourself with intention of passing that test.
Chock full of typos, suboptimally phrased questions, and even a pair of figures that were swapped, this book is nonetheless a good source of review questions. Actually, it's a good source of review answers. There are a number of ambiguously worded question stems, and several where I would disagree with the provided answer. But the explanations are generally concise and helpful.There are also a bunch of questions asking about halothane, and some asking about barbiturates no longer available in the US. Despite these issues, when taken with a grain of salt, this is a solid question bank.
Hands down the best book for Boards!!I was one of the people who failed my WrittenBoard. I had studied hard! Did Hall, ALL of old ACE exams, and courses. This book got me on the correct path. It's well written and explanations are much more complete than other references. The context in which materials presented, flows, and repeats is what sets it apart. I will not say just doing this book will get you a pass, but it would definitely get you close. I did the book and what now is True learn online and it worked for me. The book takes time but it is time we'll spent!
Who wrote this book??? My goodness, the number of errors I have found are astounding. Some chapters have incredibly low yield and poorly written questions. Sometimes the explanations are so detailed and the only thing missing is addressing the initial question! Don't even get me started on the Pharmacology chapter. Wow, just awful.I really liked M5 and Hall. Please, please please do yourself a favor and use those over this book.
