An Excellent Start !

I WAY over-studied for the Orals (passed Sept 2005). This book was almost the exact format I had in my 2 exams. Don't be fooled by the simplistic approach they offer, it really was how the test went.

"Would you give blood to this patient ?"

"Yes, I would"

"Why", etc.
NOT- Whats the MAC of enflurane in this Patient, and other minutia that some of the board review courses push.

I also STUDIED "Clinical Cases In Anesthesiology" by Reed-Fantastic!-not as over-detailed as Yao, though I read it (Yao) in residency.

A helpful tip might be to make flash-cards of scenarios, ex: Hypoxia, Hypotension, Things that can go wrong when transporting a patient from the ICU, etc. It definitely helped with the test and, frankly having committed them to cold memory for this test has made me a better doctor. Everyone can discuss the DDx for hypotension, but being able to effectively run through the list in a SICK patient is a different matter altogether. Done preaching, Good Luck!
