Book SynopsisTrade ReviewDoody's Core Titles® 2022 "The quality of the book is excellent. I cannot imagine having a better book for reference for my future career as a pediatric anesthesiologist. When I have a patient with a unique disease or have an upcoming case with a surgery I have not encountered, this is the text to reach for.

Book SynopsisTrade Review"This is the definitive book for addressing evidence-based anesthesiology. The goal of this book is to provide evidence to the various "hot topics" in anesthesiology. The goal is clearly worthwhile to ensure providers understand the literature discussing the topics. The chapters are honest and highlight gray areas that require further study.

Book SynopsisPresents a compilation of emergency procedures for the crisis events that are encountered in routine practice. Designed to improve recognition of and response to crisis situations, this work details the etiology, typical situations, methods for prevention, manifestations, and the complications to watch out for when handling a major crisis event.Trade Review"Who should buy this book? The authors state in the Preface that they wrote it for everyone who administers anesthesia, from trainees to experienced practitioners. I have to say that I enthusiastically agree!” "The distinguished authors of this latest edition build on these foundations, which now include new chapters on teaching CRM and the vitally important skill of debriefing colleagues after they have experienced such challenging events. The catalogue of critical incidents has been completely overhauled and updated, to reflect contemporary practice with nearly 20 new scenarios added". Reviewed by British Journal of Anaesthesia, Jun 2015 "Those preparing for examinations, including maintenance of certification, or those preparing others for these exams will find this book to be an excellent resource." Reviewed by Jane Torrie, Oct 2015 "This is a tremendous book with the single focus of improving patient safety in the fluid situation of anesthesia administration. Every residency program has a curriculum to deal with predictable situations, but not necessarily with unpredictable situations. Other books on similar topics stress medical knowledge to improve the safety of patients, but this is the only one that highlights the importance of the development of cognitive and behavioral skills that are important for averting disaster in crisis situations. This is a must read for safe and better care of patients under anesthesia.” -Tariq M. Malik, MD (University of Chicago Pritzker School of Medicine) Doody's Score: 100 - 5 Stars!
