Editorial Review:
The 3rd edition of this popular resource is an invaluable study tool for certification and recertification as well as a superb way to ensure mastery of all of the key knowledge in anesthesiology. Nearly 1,000 review questions cover everything from the basic sciences to general anesthesia and subspecialty considerations, with an emphasis on the most important and clinically relevant principles. All of the questions have been pre-tested on residents at the Mayo Clinic to ensure that they are comparable in difficulty and content to those encountered when taking the boards. For every question, readers will not only find the correct answer and an explanation, but also page references to major anesthesia textsmaking it easy to find more information on any subject.- Offers completely updated questions and references throughoutreflecting the latest discoveries and techniques in physics, biochemistry, and anesthesia equipment · the newest drugs and drug categories · and the most recent information on respiratory physiology and critical care; pediatric physiology and anesthesia; anatomy, regional anesthesia, and pain management; cardiovascular physiology and anesthesia; and more!
- Includes coverage of new pain management drugs such as Cox-2 inhibitors, gabapentin (Neurontin), tramadol, capsaicin, and additives to spinal anesthetics, plus new drugs used in cardiac anesthesia and critical care medicine, including fenoldopam, ibutilide, dopexamine, and dexmedetomidine.
- Presents entirely new questions regarding side effects and complications of regional anesthesia · recognition and treatment of dysthymias · anesthetic implications of non-anesthetic drugs · perioperative management of cerebral perfusion pressure, serum glucose concentration, temperature, corticosteroids, and intervenous fluids · outpatient anesthesia and treatment of nausea and vomiting · complications of anesthetic drugs · and many other essential topics.

Rating:  - Worth the money
This book does an excellent job of testing all relevant concepts. Some of the questions are artificially difficult and a little on the difficult side, but if you learn the answers your boards will be a success. I just finished the book for the second time and noticed a marked difference in my ability to remember the concepts that i had seen before. i definitely recommend this question book.
Rating: - Awesome Review Book
It's just as good as learning from the authors in person. Comprehensive with nice discussion of answers, sectioned by system, and a good format to review topipcs.
Rating: - 2 Thumbs up
I had the pleasure of working with Brian Hall for a couple of years and he is a fantastic educator and is always quizzing himself and others to keep everybody sharp. I used this book for my written board review and found it to be very helpful. The residents nearly universally used this review at the Mayo Clinic and seemed to feel that it was of substantial help in their preparation.
Rating: - great book
This is a great review book, it got me 100% on my first anesthesia test!!!
Rating: - Great prep for written boards
I thought this Q&A review book was easily the most "bang for the buck" in preparation for the written boards. It does require a solid fundamental knowledge of anesthesiology, but the questions are very representative of written board-type questions, and the answers are comprehensive and largely satisfactory. Textbook references are fairly comprehensive and accurate. I highly recommend this book as a final step in preparation for the written boards!
