My reference book of choice:
I use this book constantly. This is, in my opinion, the easiest of all the reference books to read and gets down to the information that I need. I love it.
Outstanding clinical reference:
Dr. Barash et. al. have produce a very thorough reference for clincal anesthesia. This book is great because it has the advanced information for understanding concepts of anesthesia without bogging you down with overwhelming research summaries. It is more advanced than Morgan and Mikhail but more understandable and to the point compared with Miller.
It is just right.
A Barash Follower:
In Anesthesiology they say you are either a "Barash Person" or a "Miller Person." It is my personal opinion that Barash does probably the best job at providing content that is relevant and devoid of minutia. All sections contain material that is optimal for reading and assimilation. The text is large, yet it is far from dry. I highly recommend this as "The" backbone text for Anesthesiology!
a must read:
confidence is key to anesthesia, and by reading this book evrything that we do in the OR starts making sense. Basics texts are for basics only.
