The sixth edition of "Baby Miller" is the best edition of this anesthesia classic. An excellent choice for a solid introduction to Anesthesia, this book serves medical students, beginning residents in anesthesia, surgery residents in an anesthesia rotation, nurse anesthesia students, those needing a concise review before the board exam, and those who want a textbook that won't strain their upper back. It delivers the condensed, critical information that you simply must cram into your brain before the boards, seemingly without wasting a single word. It still manages to be readable and almost enjoyable in places. There are a lot of colorful graphics and photographs. Baby Miller has come a long way since the first edition, which was a lot shorter and strictly black and white. Of course, we know so much more now than we did then.The text is technical, dense, and demands your full attention. There is no light reading here, with the possible exception of the first four chapters (history of anesthesia, scope of anesthesia practice, etc.). This is a textbook, full of detail that must be learned the hard way. Once I got into it, it was interesting enough and frequently insightful. No textbook gives you "just what you need to know" in daily practice, but this one comes closer to that ideal than any other I have read.People who completed their training years ago will find this text valuable too. As a practicing anesthesiologist, I found a lot here that applies to my daily work. Since most review courses cover specific topics, with no attempt to be comprehensive, there is real benefit to the overview that this textbook offers. There is no easy way to stay up to date with all of the science in anesthesia, but this book served as the most practical approach for me.
