Many folks commented on the TEXT of the book. As a medical student, I concur with the other reviews that this is an excellent introductory resource to obtain foundation for your clinical education.This review will instead focus on the lecture videos, which supplement each and every chapter, and can be easily overlooked - and let me tell you, they are great! As someone with experience in designing and producing interactive educational multimedia, here are my takes on the videos:- There is a video lecture that supplements each chapter. They are very nice summaries and place emphasis on the important points in the text while supplementing with interesting points to enhance memorization- There are multiple choice questions immbedded between sections of each lecture, which are great reminders and pointers of key learning points and forced you to think again. Each question comes with a full explanation of choices and main concept.- The videos are short and sweet- They have very similar content to the text, but uses different sensory modalities (i.e. graphs, animations, images, audio) that enhance memorization; for example, for the introductory lecture on the history of anesthesia, the pictures of different historic figures and instruments really helped me link names to events.- As someone with experience in designing and producing educational multimedia projects, I understand how hard it is to have high quality (and actually very useful) digital contents made available to supplement the text. There are inherent restrictions on the different technical parameters allowed by such web contents, such as the definitions and smoothness of the videos. With that in mind, the qualities of the lecture videos are pretty great. The other thing is, while you can switch the slides and lecturer windows, it might be helpful to have an option to change the sizes of different windows (I personally think the lecturer's window is too small).- I could recommend several good ways to utilize the lecture videos. 1. you can watch the videos after reading the text 2. you can watch the video first, and then you can pause and refer back to the text for clarification if needed - the videos cover the main points. 3. read the text of every chapter, then when reviewing the concepts at the end of your study, use the lecture videos.In summary, great videos! And if you bought this book or planning on getting this book (yes you will like it if you are a medical student learning anesthesia or a resident looking to lay down good foundational knowledge), make sure you USE these wonderful interactive digital contents!
When I started my residency in anesthesiology, I searched for an introductory textbook to provide the foundation for my clinical education. Finally...I found an ideal resource. Clinical Anesthesia Fundamentals, or "Baby Barash," includes clear and concise chapters on all of the major topics in both the basic and clinical sciences. Each chapter includes a well-written outline with colorful and informative tables and diagrams. Each chapter is also complemented by "Did You Know?" high-yield facts in the page margins and supplemented by online videos narrated by text authors. These videos include review questions that effectively solidify the highlighted material. Each chapter then concludes with different multiple-choice questions with comprehensive explanations at the back of the textbook. The entire textbook, including useful appendices and interactive review questions, is also easily accessible on mobile devices through the Inkling application. I highly recommend this textbook to any type of learner at any stage of training.
There are several excellent succinct and focused textbooks of Anesthesiology, and "Clinical Anesthesia Fundamentals" is definitely one of the best textbooks in this category. It is exceedingly well-written, well-illustrated, and well-organized, with a stellar assemblage of editors and contributing authors. It provides wide-ranging coverage of fundamental topics such as the scientific and technical foundations of Anesthesiology, general anesthesia, regional anesthesia, pain medicine, critical care medicine, and all of the other major areas of subspecialty anesthesia practice. It also utilizes decidedly effective educational modalities, such as its bullet-point highlight boxes, focused questions and answers, and video lectures and tutorials. It is the ideal textbook for residents at all levels of education and training, and is especially useful for preoperative case preparation, as well as studying for the In-Training Examination and the actual ABA Written Board Examination. "Clinical Anesthesia Fundamentals" is a truly outstanding concise textbook of Anesthesiology, and I give it a five-star rating, along with my highest recommendation.
I read this book from cover to cover. I have recommended this book to my residents in anesthesiology. It gives you the framework on which you build your fund of knowledge in Anesthesiology. I am a practicing anesthesiologist.
Highly recommend; chapters comprehensive but concise. Information presented clearly. Graphic illustrations excellent and various videos support the written material in a way that increases comprehension and retention. Appreciate the "Did you know?" facts found in the margins of the text. We plan to utilize this text for our Basics of Anesthesia class - extremely well done.
This is an excellent text book for anesthesia residents starting residency or those near the end of their training preparing for boards. It covers all fundamental topics in a concise and cohesive manner that makes it ideal for learning. In particular I really find the " Did you know? high yield facts throughout the chapter very helpful. These side boxes quickly summarize fundamental points from the main text. Furthermore, all of the chapters have excellent outlines and diagrams and tables that allow one to find targeted information very quickly. Lastly each chapter has multiple choice questions at the end that allow one to ensure they have grasped the major concepts from the chapter. This book is the perfect study companion for any medical student, resident or SRNA because it combines a text book, question bank and narrated videos all in one appealing to all different types of learners. I highly recommend this book be part of any anesthesiologist library!
