I've posted this before but I really think this site is a great introduction. Should'nt take very long to read through.

Plus you can listen to your favorite web-stream while doing it. Damn, that was the nerdiest thing I've said in a while.


Nab the Anesthesiology Handbook for 2007 and the MGH Anesthesiology procedures/whatever Handbook. Both are the ONLY intraop books you'll need to help you in the OR. I can't extol the MGH book enough.

Other books off the beaten path for CA-1's that I recommend:

Faust anesthesiology review

Reed's Clinical Cases book. Pricey? Maybe but the thing rocks and is very easy to read through. Its like a slim Yao. Whats Yao? Keep reading.
http://www.amazon.com/Clinical-Cases-Anesthesia-Allan-Reed/dp/0443066248

Yao and Artusio's Problem Oriented Patient Management. This is THE clinical book to read. New edition out July 1st. Tastey. You'll know who'll be picking it up.
http://www.amazon.com/Yao-Artusios-...6611202?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1182611345&sr=1-1

Thats enough for now.

If you wanna tear your writtens a new one then get Hall's Anesthesiology question book. Don't bother reading it till last 1/4 of CA-1 year.

nice post, venty. also, i'd suggest checking out paul ting's website. he's done a lot of work on it and it's worthwhile to give the dude a plug (hopefully he'll update again soon... probably been too busy to put much into it lately... still a lot of good info):

Thanks for the recommendations. I'll be sure to get my hands on these books.

As we speak, I'm using Hall's question book to try to "tear my writtens a new one." I hope it works, but a pretty crizz-appy way to spend a saturday afternoon. Anyone use this:

Chu's McGraw-Hill Anesthesiology Review. It's been recommended and looks really good, but the reviews on amazon make it seem like it's not deep enough.

couldn't agree more!

Awesome book. I need to read it more.

Also, if you can get your hands on the ACE exams written by the ASA, they are incredible. They have very detailed answers - also they are written by the same people who write the boards. I have seen questions show up in the test booklets that also were on the exam.

If you haven't heard of ACE, it is an exam put out by the ASA biannually that focus on "accepted" knowledge that is "likely to appear in examinations." They put these out to help us all study for the MOCA exam every ten years. Don't know what the MOCA exam is? You will soon enough - but just remember to keep your CME certificates for the next 10 years after you graduate.
