This is a great book. It has a lot of practical advice that has clinical applications, not just theory. This is what makes the book different from many of the other anesthesia texts. In addition there are 2 sections of the book that many other books don't cover: how to go about looking for jobs/assessing a practice you might join, and also medical coding and payment. The book is quite easy to read and each chapter or section is short and to the point. The authors and editors of the book are also donating the royalties of the book to the Foundation for Anesthesia Education and Research (FAER), which is a great cause.
This is an outstanding collection of pearls for anesthesia providers of all levels from student to the fully qualified. Much of the material was not new after 35 years clinical experience but it made for a great review. The short anecdotal format is a comfortable method to learn and review this type of material. Unlike most anesthesia reference works it is an easy read and makes for nice 5 minute sessions.I think it would make a good launching point for teaching moments with anesthesia trainees and other interested students. I wish I would have had something like this when I was working with trainees.
This is a great book. Its nice for those with short attention spans like myself as each chapter is short and to the point. Interesting subjects are covered such as cardiac issues, pa catheters, iv access, medications, all kinds of good stuff. I'm an icu rn so some of the material is not relevant to me (nerve blocks, anesthetic gas, medical coding), but I enjoyed most of the book a lot. More readable than lots of other medical books, and most of it is relevant to critical care in some way.
PRACTICAL IN MOST CHAPTERS, INTERESTING IN OTHERS THAT WERE NOT DIRECTLY RELATED TO MY PRACTICE
I got my item quickly. The book was in excellent shape. I would definitely buy from this seller again.
