books about: anesthesiology     books:       NMS Clinical Manual of Anesthesia5 reviews Randall S. Glidden Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2002 Great book! I loved this book! (I wasn't even interested in anesthesia until I read it.) This book can take a student who knows nothing about anesthesia and turn her into a functioning, knowledgable member of an anesthesia team in a matter of days. Read this book (or at least the first few chapters) the weekend before your start your anesthesia rotation, and finish it by the end of the first week. You will ...             Anesthesia: A Comprehensive Review9 reviews Brian A. Hall, Robert C. Chantigian Mosby, 2003 great book This is a great review book, it got me 100% on my first anesthesia test!!!             Anesthesiology Review7 reviews Churchill Livingstone, 1991 One for the coffee table I don't normally put my medical textbooks out for display, but I like to use this one as a conversation piece. Each chapter is well reasoned, concise, and suprisingly entertaining. The chapter entitled "Pharmacology of Hetastarch and Pentastarch" had me weeping. Med students - this book will help you fly through boards. Lay people - this book is a suprisingly good read. You know, I don't know ...             Going Under: Preparing Yourself for Anesthesia : Your Guide to Pain Control and Healing Techniques - Before, ...5 reviews Monica W. Furlong, Elliot Essman Autonomy Pub. Corp., 1993 Very practical health writing. I have enjoyed Dr. Furlong's television show on public TV for some time, especially because she shies away from easy answers to tough health questions. Going Under is a book without the usual fill. Even though mind/body techniques seem to be paramount in Dr. Furlong's philosophy, she is not afraid to bring up the issue of the appropriate use of narcotic drugs for surgical pain. I understand ...             Handbook of Anesthesiology, 2004-2005 Edition (Current Clinical Strategies)9 reviews Mark R. Ezekiel Current Clinical Strategies Publishing, 2003 Best pocket anesthesia book available I carried Mass Gen around for a year before someone introduced me to this book. Now Mass Gen is collecting dust and I've almost worn the cover off this one over the past 2 years. There is no wasted space or wasted print in this book. It is concise and easy to navigate. There are tables where it is necessary, and comparisons where they should be. It lists virtually all of the basic agents ...             Eating by Design5 reviews Carrie Latt Wiatt Atria, 1996 THE BEST TOOL TO RE-TEACH YOURSELF HOW TO REALLY EAT. I LOVE THIS BOOK. IT COMES WITH ''POP-OUTS'' THAT HAVE HELPED ME TO ACTUALLY SEE WHAT I'M PUTTING IN MY MOUTH. THE FIRST WEEK I USED THE "POP-OUTS", I FOUND I WAS EATING FROM 500-1000 CALORIES PER DAY(NO WONDER I WAS STEADILY GAINING WEIGHT!). I WAS SURPRISED AT HOW WE LET FOOD MANUFACTURES, RESTAURANTS, AND OURSELVES OVER- INDULGE BY EATING THE WRONG PORTIONS. I NO LONGER SUPERSIZE MY ...             Crossing Over: Narratives of Palliative Care11 reviews David Barnard, Anna M. Towers, ... Oxford University Press, USA, 2000 The Heart of Grief On September 11, 2001, many sons and daughters, mothers and fathers, brothers and sisters died. I lost my own son 10 years ago and since that time I have wondered what can really be of help to parents, or other grievers in learning to live with such loss. Now, more than ever, life seems so fragile in this world and the need for understanding grief as important as ever. It is so hard when grief is ...             Handbook of Local Anesthesia6 reviews Stanley F. Malamed C.V. Mosby, 1996 Best book and DVD for my course I will be soon training to administer local anesthesia in the dental office where I work as a periodontal co-therapist. This is the book that is required and with the DVD it is perfect for studying. I would recommend this for any dental hygienist in this type of program.             Anesthesiology: Problem-Oriented Patient Management5 reviews Fun-Sun F., M.D. Yao, Joseph F., Jr., M.D. Artusio Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 1993 NICE BOOK WRITTEN IN A FORMAT OF QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS THAT MAKES YOUR PREPERATION FOR THE BOARD MUUCH MORE YIELDED.A VERY GOOD SUPPLEMENT FOR ANESTHESIA PREPERATION             Clinical Anesthesiology18 reviews G. Edward Morgan, Maged S. Mikhail, ... McGraw-Hill/Appleton & Lange, 2001 Excellent! This would be an optimal choice for most medical students with a special interest in anasthesia as well as for anaesthesia residents. It's extremely well-written, neither too detailed nor too simple. The authors write with authority, which is a good thing. If I had to say something negative about this book, it would be the lack of colourful illustrations (this refers to edition elder to the ...             Essentials of Pain Medicine and Regional Anesthesia4 reviews Honorio T. Benzon, Srinivasa N. Raja, ... Churchill Livingstone, 2004 Esentials of Pain Medicine It is concise and very informative!! Very easy to use and read.             Chloroform: The Quest for Oblivion3 reviews Linda Stratmann The History Press, 2003 The Second Great Anesthetic According to Linda Stratmann, "Descriptions and illustrations of surgery in the seventeenth to mid-nineteenth centuries are mainly a catalogue of unrelieved agonies." It is hard to disagree with this assessment. Patients were restrained on the operating table by strong orderlies and leather straps and given a cloth to bite on to help keep them quiet. Surgeons may have been skillful; they used ...             Critical Care Medicine: The Essentials3 reviews John J. Marini, Arthur P. Wheeler Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 1997 Excellent approach to ICU pathophysiology, treatments An excellent discussion of ICU/Critical Care Medicine pathophysiology and management approaches for principally the housestaff/junior fellow level. Chapters are pertinent and understandable. Does a good job of avoiding the tendency toward "cookbook" medicine found in several other CCM texts written at this level. End of chapter summaries are excellent. Focus is on developing understanding of ...             Acute Pain Management - A Practical Guide3 reviews Pamela Macintyre, James W. Reagan, ... Saunders Ltd., 2001 Acute Pain Management: An Excellent Practical Guide This little pocket sized book is a wonderful resource for practicing physicians (and physicians who need more practice). We use the book as a textbook for the first and second year anesthesiology residents rotating on pain medicine. The attendings learn a thing or two as well. The handy, thoughtful questions at the end of the book provide a useful study guide and testing tool for the rotation. ...             Handbook of Nitrous Oxide and Oxygen Sedation3 reviews Morris S. Clark, Ann L. Brunick Mosby-Year Book, 1999 Second Edition Goes Beyond Expectations The second edition of this useful text goes beyond expectations. There is an increased emphasis on safety using minimal levels of nitrous oxide during most dental care (less than 50%), as well as the current 'standard of care' use of titration procedure model. Includes and relates the ASA Physical Classification System. Every dental professional using nitrous oxide should purchase this text so ...             Manual of Conscious Sedation3 reviews Michael Kost W.B. Saunders Company, 1997 THE DEFINITIVE SOURCE for practicing Conscious Sedation. Wow! No stones unturned here!! A comprehensive, authoritative resource ESSENTIAL to any medical personnel engaged in this practice. Have the words "Scope of Practice" crossed your mind? This book provides the most complete answers to a myraid of factors which influence conscious sedation. Thank you, Dr. Kost, for compiling the exhaustive, multi-facted reference manual that is so ...             Handbook of Anesthesiology (Current Clinical Strategies Series))3 reviews Mark Ezekiel Current Clinical Strategies Publishing, 1997 Easy to read I have read previous editions of this book. I consider this book to be a good easy to read book during the first couple of weeks of anesthesia residency. Although it is not meant to be a detailed all-inclusive anesthesia resource, it certainly does cover 80+ percent of the subjects most likely to be encountered during morning reports and questions and answers sessions with anesthesia staff. I ...             Cardiac Anesthesia4 reviews Grune & Stratton Inc., 1987 The standard work in this field. The interesting thing about this book is that it is read by everyone in the field of cardiac anesthesia. When discussing a subject, many people refer to what is written in this book, so you really need it! The book is easy to use because of the clear language and the modest amount of information on a subject.             Mosby's Dental Drug Reference4 reviews Tommy W. Gage, Frieda Atherton Pickett C.V. Mosby, 2001 Easy! This drug reference is layed out in a simple easy to use pattern. Every office should acquire this book. We just check the index, get the page number, flip to the appropiate page and wham! everything we need is right there. I especially like how the dental considerations are listed seperately. And it's a lot easier to manage than the huge PDR. It makes life much easier!             Practical Manual of Abdominal Organ Transplantation3 reviews Springer, 2002 Great Book This is the premire book of Abdominal Organ Transplants. I recommend this book to be a "must read" for those involved in transplants and those who wish to "know more."
