Hands down, best reference for the OR as an SRNA
30 Aug 2010
Format:Vinyl Bound|Amazon Verified Purchase
I have now bought 5 different reference guides, including the baby Barash, baby Nagelhout, and baby (Miller?-i got rid of it). This one is well laid out, and like all Oxford guides, has book marks (that sounds ridiculous, doesn't it?). Without wasting time on stuff you don't need to read to prep for an unexpected OR case, this book breaks down the nitty gritty of what you need to know to get through the procedures, from type of anesthesia you can give, to details on things for which to watch out.
While it may cease to be as useful as i transition into being a CRNA, i know that i will still keep this one in my locker so that when i get stuck in a new procedure i've never done (or haven't done in a while), i can reference my options and remind myself of the things i should expect and for what i need to be attentive.

A handy reference indeed
10 May 2010
Format:Vinyl Bound|Amazon Verified Purchase
This handbook replaced my lost Ezekiel. I like its level of detail regarding procedures and co-existing diseases. I especially liked (and used) the charts and graphs in the back.

One of the best portable ref. out there
4 Sep 2008
Format:Vinyl Bound|Amazon Verified Purchase
I have to say that this is, bar none, one of the best quick reference books ive ever reviewed. I especially like the addition of the 2 attached ribbons to mark sections you want to quick open to. For CRNAs, SRNAs, Anesthesiologists and residents alike, this is an invaluable resource!
