Description
|
This book presents the foundational knowledge necessary for the provision of anesthesia in a clear concise format. The previous edition was published in 2013. |
|
Purpose
|
The goal of the book is to summarize essential information from the original textbook for anesthesia practitioners. The handbook is an easy gateway option into learning and practicing anesthesia, and it is also a more compact and accessible reference for reviewing items on the go or throughout the workday. The book meets its goal of providing the most convenient information for medical students and residents through its organization by including both clinical medications and anesthetic management for different surgeries and procedures. |
|
Audience
|
This book targets anesthesia residents and practitioners. However, its descriptions, clarity, and diagrams also allow it to be useful for medical students as well. The ease of locating the information renders the book an excellent introduction for students and residents while also being a good source for review for the more advanced practitioners. The authors are qualified based on their merits and credentials. |
|
Features
|
The handbook reviews key information from the Morgan and Mikhail's Clinical Anesthesiology, 7th Edition, Butterworth et al. (McGraw-Hill Medical, 2022) textbook, including: the detailing and explanation of the anesthesia machine, how the different classes of medications impact anesthetic care, the key aspects of developing an anesthetic plan and the indications for different devices to achieve ideal conditions, and anesthesia implications with diseases of different organs along with detailed anesthetic care based on the surgery. The clear graphs and illustrations enhance the readability of the book. |
|
Assessment
|
This book provides more and improved information from the previous 2013 book. The concise explanations of information make it an asset to review prior to providing anesthesia, especially for procedures or diseases with less familiarity. Due to its concise nature, it functions as its intent: a transportable handbook that is easily read. |
