Summary:

Here's the ideal tool to prepare students for their oral and written boards. Containing questions, comprehensive test and case scenarios on anesthesia theories, practices and techniques, the text is supplemented by references to additional literature, and representative case scenarios. The book has the Q&A format used in the written boards. The questions, however, are not merely multiple choice; they require thought and discussion to answer properly, as do the oral boards. Additionally, the book is a useful teaching tool for the resident (and for the practitioner as a review for recertification).
