(More customer reviews)The pocket sized Anesthesia Emergencies is a valuable resource for avoiding complications and providing quick response to multiple kinds of anesthetic emergencies. Keith Ruskin and Stanley Rosenbaum have brought together a group of medical contributors, all experts in their selected fields. Each of the 15 chapters from cardiovascular to pediatric to neurological emergencies provides information on presentation, diagnosis, management, prevention and risk factors. Skilled practitioners will find the bullet point checklists clear and concise, with critical information highlighted. Coincidentally I recently read Atul Gawande's newest book, The Checklist Manifesto, which praises the use of checklists in aviation to prevent flight emergencies. Gawande's research in medicine has proven that using checklists in the operating room reduces the rates of infection and preventable deaths. Using the procedures and checklists in Anesthesiology Emergencies is exactly what Gawande advocates to improve safety and reduce medical errors. The information in this book is invaluable and I highly recommend this book to all anesthesia providers.
