Anesthesiologist's Manual of Surgical Procedures 5th Edition, Kindle Edition

This review is for the kindle version!I'm currently a CA-1 (1st year anesthesiology resident) who needed a good read to not look stupid preparing for my case the next day with my attending. For that, it's great! It goes over all the possible complications, the types of blocks and anesthesia that can be used, common concerns, positioning, etc that will make you look prepared and able to answer most of the basic questions you'll be pimped on about the case. It also covers almost EVERY type of surgery that you'll encounter as a CA-1 and even as just an anesthesiologist. For the text itself, I give it 4 stars. I don't give it 5 because some of the recommendations may not apply at your institution. For instance, it'll recommend placing an epidural or a peripheral catheter for a case. At my institution, we have a policy where no catheters are to be placed pre-op or intra-op, so although those options may not by explicitly useful, you can still do the relevant block.What REALLY brings this review down to 3 stars is the usability on kindle. GET THE ACTUAL BOOK!!! It is EXTREMELY difficult to use on kindle. There's no table of contents that you can click that will take you directly to the page you want. It also groups procedures, so it'll tell you what kind of anesthesia to use for a group of surgeries (for instances all surgeries below the knee) but you have to wait till it describes the last surgery in that group before it covers it. So you're stuck swiping and swiping and swiping waiting to find that part. It's just very very clumsy, difficult, and frustrating to use, and I've been using ebooks for a while. But I think that's the fault of Kindle, if it was an ibooks product, it'd be great.Overall, GREAT text, horrible platform on kindle. BUY THE TEXT! You won't regret it.

Jaffe's is a good book for clinical practice. As most books, and maybe in this case even more than most books, it's a bit flawed by each chapter author's personal preference, rather than science based reasoning. But then again, that's what this book is all about. To give you one way of attacking a specific surgical procedure. Not every way, or even the best way, just one way. But that's a good starting point from where one can the modify management as needed.This is not a book for seasoned private practice anesthesiologists, but I think it's a great resource for residents.

A "cookbook" approach to administering an anesthetic. I frequently refer to it--I have the Kindle version on my iPad--when I am called to administer an anesthetic for a procedure I've not seen before or haven't done in a while. I used an earlier version during my fellowship, and would often answer the surgeons' questions for the surgical residents before they could.This is not a standalone guide to anesthesiology, but a useful adjunct. I recommend it to all the medical students I encounter who are planning to serve a residency in anesthesiology.

Incredibly useful for anesthesia residents, especially in your first year. This book provides some basic information about the procedures, surgical considerations (positioning, EBL, abx, M&M, etc), and anesthetic considerations (pre-op, intra-op, and post-op). Obviously, you will have to learn about your surgeon-specific preferences/considerations, but this is an excellent source to obtain general background. As a CA-1, I use this all the time. I'll update this when I'm further on in my training to comment on how useful it continues to be.

It is a nice book to review that procedure you do not use to make so offen. I bought the digital version and found it to be a litle bit on the expensive side compared with a big textbook like Barash for example. The menus of the digital version could be way much better and it makes search of the desidred topic a litle bit slower than you wish, not to mention difficult. 3 stars is the best i could give. I searched the renal transplantation topic for example and found it to be a litle bit on the shy side. It's a book for those who already have lots of books and wish to have one that can point specificly to a certain kind of procedure. One thing that i like is the estimation of blod loss for each procedure.

Awesome book, kindle version is terrible. It will say "see page ____" but there are no pages in the kindle version. Buy hard copy

I think it's a little expensive but it's worth it. It has a completely different approach from other books and lets you focus in particular procedures in a very fast and concise way

just as described! quick shipping! thanks! great book!

The content of this text is largely worthless. Case in point, tonight I tried to read about the anesthetic considerations surrounding an ORIF of an ankle fracture. Guess what? It's not covered in this book! Do yourself a favour and don't waste your money.Also this book advertises that it includes a free ebook with complete content, and when you do the "look inside" option on Amazon you see that the page lists instructions to activate the ebook on Inkling. However, when you actually get the book and go to claim the ebook you discover that it is actually through a crappy third party app called "Bookshelf", and the text is actually a poor quality, fuzzy, low-resolution scan of the paper text. It's atrocious!

Buen libro de anestesia. Fue para un familiar médico y quedó muy contento con el.

Entrega rápida. Recomiendo para los residentes de anestesia, contiene información sobre plan de anestesia (consulta de preanestesia, procedimiento anestesico y cuidados postop) y sobre la técnica quirúrgica para muchas intervenciones. Muy útil!

Imprescindible. Muy recomendable. Lectura técnica muy fluida y fácilSólo para especialistas en anestesiología y reanimación. También para estudiantes medicina

Nice book
