Product Description
Product Description
Sharpen the procedural skills necessary for the optimal care of the anesthetized patient
Featuring an easy-to-navigate, atlas-oriented format, Anesthesia Unplugged gives you lightning-fast access to the entire spectrum of perioperative, ambulatory, regional, and general procedures. More than any other text, Anesthesia Unplugged disarmingly demystifies anesthesiology, as the book's authors and contributors take you on a engaging, yet educational voyage to places like “Intravenous World” (Part I), “Arterial Land” (Part II), and “Efficiency-Ville” (Part V). What's more, the book's comprehensive coverage is supported every step of the way by a skill-building, profusely illustrated art program.
Features:
- Authoritative, complete, and attention-getting coverage of all relevant anesthesia procedures, from the IV and laryngoscopy, to the combined spinal-epidural and transesophageal echocardiography
- Streamlined, templated format breaks down critical information into manageable chunks and allows pin-point navigation-ideal for busy residents and clinicians who need to rapidly master complex anesthesia procedures
- Amusing, engaging tone that helps simplify and spur interest in chapter content; chapters include “The Rodney Dangerfield of Lines, the IV,” “EEEEK! Do We Dare? The Brachial A-Line,” “The Mask of Zorro. Mask Ventilation,” and “The Lung's Not Down, You Idiot! Lung Isolation”
- Distinguished roster of expert contributors who deliver the most commanding perspectives on modern anesthesia with wit and wisdom
- 600 clear, content-clarifying illustrations that put key anesthesia procedures into proper clinical perspective
From the Publisher
Anesthesia represents one of the most procedure-oriented specialties of any
in medicine. The average anesthesiologist is required to learn and perform
several hundred during their training and life in practice, as well as be
able to train others in their mastery. This book will not only aid
house-staff as they matriculate through each year of their residency, but
we also envision it funcitoning as a solid refresher for busy
anesthesiologist and nurse anesthetists as well.

Well worth the time and money
10 Nov 2008
Format:Paperback
Somehow the authors have taken the very serious subjects near and dear to the heart of any anesthesia provider and made them dead-on funny -- but truly helpful and informative. I can't you how many times I've been saved by their tips and hints. This is a MUST HAVE reference for the anesthesia student.

Perfect for those interested in expanding their prior knowledge of the field. The pictures walk you through step-by-step and the humor keeps the boredom from setting in. Great book!

Anesthesia Unplugged
30 Sep 2008
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
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.
