Faust's Anesthesiology Review

This book is a significant improvement over the last edition which, I think is about 10 years old. Full color high quality pictures, a some of which are Netter pictures (yep, remember all the time you spent with this book in first year anatomy), and a lot of concise charts and graphs. The type, maybe a tad on the smallish side, but that is no reason to not get this book. It provides concise summaries of topics with good references from which you can look up more information on a topic if needed. And, if you purchase the physical book, Expert Consult has an app though which you can download a copy of the book to your iPad/iPhone (probably other devices) which makes a book with this many chapters very easy to navigate. You can also highlight and take notes in the app. Overall, a good book to add to a residents collection in preparation for boards or the ITE.

I'm currently in CRNA school and was recommended this book by an anesthesiologist. It is a fantastic resource. The book covers a wide variety of topics. Each chapter is only a few pages in length so it's easy to get a lot of new information very quickly or review things you need a refresher on. It has become invaluable to me in my studies and I rely on it a great deal. I've even recommended it to all my classmates. Whether you are just starting anesthesia school or getting near the end and looking at preparing for boards I would highly recommend this book.

I've been really happy with this text so far. The chapters are short and easy to read, so it's great for when I have a little down time but not enough to commit to reading a chunk of Barash. I primarily read textbooks on my iPad, so I was glad this has a digital version that comes with it (I basically expect that of textbooks these days, but unfortunately not all of them do). Haven't actually taken the advanced board exam yet, so can't speak to how well it covers what is tested.

This book is great for reviewing material in a short space of time. Although not exhaustive, the topics are diverse and cover a range of discussion points. I'd recommend it despite the small text and a few omissions (like a chapter on anti-arrhythmics).

Great review book. It is short and sweet and covers a whole chapter in 3-5 pages. It makes for an easy review. It also has colored pictures which I find attractive in a book. I would definitely recommend this book for reviewing what you've already read.

One of my favorite books to read so far during residency. Chapters are concise. The material is presented in a high yield, easy to remember format. I will use this book a lot. The online version and free app are also VERY easy to use and read from. I frequently read on my Iphone and it's great.

I wish I had purchased this book earlier in my program! I have only had this for a short period of time but it's an amazing go to book. I like to read this first for whatever topic/area I'm looking into to get the main idea and key points and can follow up with a more in depth book after

Good review for the board. Will require a significant commitment to finish it though. The book is smaller in size compared to regular texts but the font is smaller and there is of information packed in each chapter. Should work for oral boards as well.
