New website : Anesthesia Hub

Members don't see this ad.

Friends,
I have designed an anesthesiology website I hope you find useful. It is called Anesthesia Hub. My goal was to create a centralized entry point for the many high-quality anesthesia online resources that exist on the web. I attempted to categorize the more common anesthesia textbooks and provide links to journals, educational websites, societies and blogs. The publicly released ABA ITE questions from 1990-1996 are searchable. There are links to SDN threads on preparation for the oral and written boards as well as links and discussion about commercial preparation. In addition I have created a 'Clinical Tools' section with links to BLS/ACLS/PALS algorithms, critical events, drug dosing, calculators, and procedural videos.

I would really appreciate your feedback on all aspects of the site-- I would like to make this more useful for everyone. Please let me know if you think there is anything I should change or add. You can email me directly at [email protected]

I absolutely love this website. Its so convenient for medical students trying to learn

Nice work. At first glance, I'd ask you to check to see if the ACC/AHA Preop Guidelines were updated since 2007.

These sites are tough to keep current. Thanks for sharing, and good luck with it!

Looks like a lot of hard work has gone into this site. Strong work.

Thank you for this.
Can you add regional block videos?

Not bad...agree with Dan, some of the guidelines need updating

 

[David Moss]

Thank you. As far as I could tell however 2007 was the latest revision to the ACC/AHA noncardiac surgery evaluation guidelines. Please let me know if you have any other recommendations and I will get them up! I will work on organizing the regional section some more.

Really great site! Have been recommending it to my colleagues as we prepare for boards. If you have time, consider adding a short synopsis of some of the links. Keep up the good work!

I found this link on the new "anesthesia hub.com"

http://nurseanesthetist.wordpress.com/

This CRNA graduated May 2012 and started working July 2012. With just a little clinical experience he/she now practices Independently.

So here's the question for David Moss: why does your website link to a militant CRNA's blog, not to speak of the fact that it is not a (to quote you) "high quality anesthesia online resource"?

Thank you for visiting anesthesiahub. I appreciate your comments. With respect to 'high quality anesthesia online resources', I am primarily referring to the education and exam subsections of the site. I am actively working on implementing the suggestion made earlier to provide brief descriptions of the education sites to improve clarity so one can more easily find what they're looking for. Blogs, by their nature, are subjective and usually based solely on the opinions and experiences of the author. I provide links to a wide range of blogs that reflect the diversity of opinion and experience of the wider anesthesia community: US/international, MD/CRNA, legal issues, etc. To the extent that these blogs may spark disagreement, debate and discussion, I think that is a positive thing.

Please let me know if there are any additional blogs you think should be included.

Thank you for your comments!

I echo David Moss' response re: blogs. Have you read some of the MD blogs he has on the site? My guess would be probably not. If you had, maybe you would not have made use of the word "militant" when describing a CRNA's blog, which as a CRNA myself I find offensive, or accused David Moss of posting a link that is not a "high quality anesthesia online resource". It's attitudes like this that contribute to animosity between our professions. Why can't we just be friends?

You probably are not going to do well here.

I want to be more than friends with you. LOL

I did not associate the words "militant" and "CRNA" by default. That specific blog is a militant blog. Anybody who reads it can figure it out on his/her own. 50% of the CRNAs I know are nice to work with. It's the militant 25+% that destroy the atmosphere and induce rejection in any normal anesthesiologist who has a spine.

About "friendship": Why are you guys such good "friends" with the AAs, trying to block their licensing nationwide? Or you want to be friends only with the hand that fed you until you started devouring it, the anesthesiologists? With friends like some of you, I'd rather have enemies. I also find it very funny that many CRNAs consider most RNs inferior to them and their education (those are "nurses"), but are offended if CRNA's are not considered an "MDA"'s cvasi-equal. 'Cause all of us are "anesthesia practitioners", right? Wrong!

Closing. Thread has run it's course.
