Anesthesiology: Problem-oriented patient management

by Fun-Sun F. M.D.; Artusio Yao

Now in its Sixth Edition, this best-selling text is the only anesthesiology book with a case-based, problem-oriented approach. It is widely used to study for the American Board of Anesthesiology's oral exams and as a refresher for practicing anesthesiologists and CRNAs. Chapters cover 62 surgical procedures and problems in all major areas of anesthesiology. Each chapter presents a case and asks questions about preoperative evaluation, patient preparation, intraoperative management, and postoperative care. Questions are followed by thorough explanations and references. This edition has a broadly based authorship, with two new Associate Editors and one-third new contributors. New chapters cover postoperative pain management and electroconvulsive therapy.

Ok, Problem Oriented Patient Management is a bit of a stretch for this list. It isn’t quite an Anesthesia textbook, but it’s clearly not for most readers. A great read for any anesthesiologist, or non-physician anesthesia provider, but certainly beyond the interest of anyone who is not in one of those groups.

An excellent book.

Interactive and pleasant to read. Further, it comprises the most important topic in anesthesiology using a highly effective method for learning, PBL.
