Anesthesiology Resident Manual of Procedures: A Step-by-Step Guide

 

Description:

This book describes in concise yet detailed step-by-step instructions on how to perform common procedures, including complex airway management, vascular access, neuraxial blocks, and nuanced anesthetic techniques; it not only covers this breadth of procedures, but presents them in an accessible manner. Chapters follow the format of the indications for a particular procedure, a list of equipment required, step-by-step instructions for performing the procedure, common complications, and troubleshooting techniques. The book is designed intentionally for the busy physician to be able to easily read the essential information, including lists of equipment necessary, numbered steps to perform the procedure, tables of common errors and methods to troubleshoot, indications and contraindications for procedures, detailed photos of equipment setup, and handmade diagrams and images. Anesthesiology Resident Manual of Procedures is comprehensive and written with the physician-in-training in mind, as well as those who are completing their residency or fellowship in the fields of anesthesiology, critical care medicine, and emergency medicine.
