Description
Basic Anesthesia Review provides a comprehensive knowledge review for all second-year US Anesthesiology residents taking the American Board of Anesthesiology's (ABA) Basic Exam.
A companion to Advanced Anesthesia Review, this essential review features concise and readable chapters covering the relevant knowledge and concepts as determined by the ABA's curriculum. While multiple books are available for board review, very few have published since the ABA restructured board examinations. Basic Anesthesia Review is organized topically according to the most recently published ABA curriculum and highlights ABA key words along with bulleted key points to reinforce key concepts and facts.
