I noticed this finally got released:

Clinical Anesthesia Procedures of the Massachusetts General Hospital: Department of Anesthesia, Critical Care and Pain Medicine, Massachusetts General Hospital, Harvard Medical School (Paperback)

Any comments from those of you who tried the older edition or have this current new one? Any good for board preparation?

It's good as a reference for cases during residency but i wouldn't use it to study for boards.

How is it for MS-4s while on rotations/auditions?

Great if you want to try your hand at some procedures. Read up on it beforehand, prove to the attending/resident you know what you're doing, and you'll be more likely to get the opportunity.

Great book for beginners, maybe the best (in addition to baby miller.) It hits most topics although it is generally superficial which is appropriate for this type of handbook. I also used it as a way to structure board review with supplemental reading from real text.

Hello,

I echo the previous posters, just for emphasis, so you will see that we are all in agreement: it is an excellent book for quick reference, but it is NOT enough for boards.

If you want a good list of books for boards, search other threads relating to boards in this forum. It has been abundantly discussed and recommendations have been made for all tastes and preferences.

Greetings.
