This review is for the kindle version!I'm currently a CA-1 (1st year anesthesiology resident) who needed a good read to not look stupid preparing for my case the next day with my attending. For that, it's great! It goes over all the possible complications, the types of blocks and anesthesia that can be used, common concerns, positioning, etc that will make you look prepared and able to answer most of the basic questions you'll be pimped on about the case. It also covers almost EVERY type of surgery that you'll encounter as a CA-1 and even as just an anesthesiologist. For the text itself, I give it 4 stars. I don't give it 5 because some of the recommendations may not apply at your institution. For instance, it'll recommend placing an epidural or a peripheral catheter for a case. At my institution, we have a policy where no catheters are to be placed pre-op or intra-op, so although those options may not by explicitly useful, you can still do the relevant block.What REALLY brings this review down to 3 stars is the usability on kindle. GET THE ACTUAL BOOK!!! It is EXTREMELY difficult to use on kindle. There's no table of contents that you can click that will take you directly to the page you want. It also groups procedures, so it'll tell you what kind of anesthesia to use for a group of surgeries (for instances all surgeries below the knee) but you have to wait till it describes the last surgery in that group before it covers it. So you're stuck swiping and swiping and swiping waiting to find that part. It's just very very clumsy, difficult, and frustrating to use, and I've been using ebooks for a while. But I think that's the fault of Kindle, if it was an ibooks product, it'd be great.Overall, GREAT text, horrible platform on kindle. BUY THE TEXT! You won't regret it.
It is a nice book to review that procedure you do not use to make so offen. I bought the digital version and found it to be a litle bit on the expensive side compared with a big textbook like Barash for example. The menus of the digital version could be way much better and it makes search of the desidred topic a litle bit slower than you wish, not to mention difficult. 3 stars is the best i could give. I searched the renal transplantation topic for example and found it to be a litle bit on the shy side. It's a book for those who already have lots of books and wish to have one that can point specificly to a certain kind of procedure. One thing that i like is the estimation of blod loss for each procedure.
Jaffe's is a good book for clinical practice. As most books, and maybe in this case even more than most books, it's a bit flawed by each chapter author's personal preference, rather than science based reasoning. But then again, that's what this book is all about. To give you one way of attacking a specific surgical procedure. Not every way, or even the best way, just one way. But that's a good starting point from where one can the modify management as needed.This is not a book for seasoned private practice anesthesiologists, but I think it's a great resource for residents.
A "cookbook" approach to administering an anesthetic. I frequently refer to it--I have the Kindle version on my iPad--when I am called to administer an anesthetic for a procedure I've not seen before or haven't done in a while. I used an earlier version during my fellowship, and would often answer the surgeons' questions for the surgical residents before they could.This is not a standalone guide to anesthesiology, but a useful adjunct. I recommend it to all the medical students I encounter who are planning to serve a residency in anesthesiology.
Good book but the electronic version is most annoying to use. No index. No easy- to -use page number. Find myself seeking other alternatives before resorting to the book. Simply because of the layout.
Good preparation for new cases, this is my preferred source. I really like the electronic version that comes with book purchase, I think it's easy to search and easier to handle than the bulky textbook.
Awesome book, kindle version is terrible. It will say "see page ____" but there are no pages in the kindle version. Buy hard copy
Good book. Its bulkiness prevents it from being available where I need it, in the hospital, in the OR etc..I guess it could easily be printed in handbook format, or better yet, become available in PDA format. That would make it much more practical in my view.
