Anesthesia Unplugged

I am currently still a lowly student of anesthesia and am subjected to reading thousands of pages of books with no color, pictures, or fun stories. Although this is to be expected, Anesthesia Unplugged makes reading fun again!Really, this book is awesome for any anesthesia resident or SRNA, especially in the beginning. It dishes out a plethora of practical advice and makes me laugh out loud every time I read it. I look forward to reading again! Seriously though,TOTALLY WORTH GETTING!!

Our department of anesthesia library uses this text for family med residents, paramedic and respiratory therapists. They like the book and list it as a favourite. It must be good because the first copy joined someone else's library!

There was no preview of this book and I won't buy another without a viewing the contents. I did not want a procedure book but more information on drugs, adverse reactions and combination of drugs. Like what to use when patient has a high tolerance to narcotics. What's the best way to treat a renal patient with hypotension. It is still an excellent book but not the one I wanted.

This book is not too bad. However, it is written in an unseemly way. Its English is hard for people that do not have it as their natural language.

LOVE this book. It has practical information and tidbits with clearly defined illustrations. Very humerous as it brings it down to earth and does not create the "usual" anesthesia textbook. I recommend it especially to students and anesthesia providers to have as a reference.
