Anesthesia Books:

So far this book is written well and I can understand it based on my own knowledge base.

A Must Have:

I am currently an intern. I want to read about anesthesia, but I don't have much time. This is a text that is basic and easy to read. The chapter set up is nice and logical. I may not make it through the entire book this year, but I'll have a good start so that I can start reading more in depth texts sooner next year as a CA-1. I think it's best to cover the basics before going too in depth into a topic therefore I would recommend this text to all those early in anesthesia training.

Excellent review source:

Whether you are studying for boards or a new anesthesiology resident, you will find Basics of Anesthesia useful.

GREAT!!:

this book is not only an excellent one for R1 residents or medical students, it also highlights key points for senior residents as well! the UPDATED information written, which is evidence based (each paragraph is a result of a recent published paper) makes you CONFIDENT when you argue about any subject.. A MUST HAVE..
