Anesthesia Student Survival Guide
Description
Edited and written by leading educators, this popular book for the anesthesiology rotation has been thoroughly updated and retains its distinctive case-based approach.

Considerations for quality improvement and patient safety have been expanded throughout the book. Anesthesia Student Survival Guide provides a complete introduction to the specialty and is aimed at medical and nursing students as well as practitioners in critical care who seek a succinct overview of anesthesiology.
From reviews of the First Edition:
".an excellent resource for the student wanting a deeper understanding of what is essentially a post-graduate subject, for example, an elective student." --British Journal of Anaesthesia
"This is an excellent introduction to the specialty for third-year medical students, covering a broad range of material at a sufficient depth to be useful, and providing a good structure for a comprehensive course of self-directed study." --Doody's Review Service
Reviews / Votes
"This text is useful, comprehensive, and enjoyable to read. It is ideal for medical students and junior residents as it can help them organize their days on anesthesia rotations and understand essential background information. ... The text could be a handy pocket guide for staff anesthesiologists, offering some level-appropriate suggestions for teaching topics around particular cases in the operating room. All of these various uses would make it an ideal book for a departmental library." (Mullein D. Thorleifson, Canadian Journal of Anesthesia, Vol. 63, 2016)More details
