Good Resource
Haven't used it in practice yet but i've been reading through it as a refresher.I think it'll be a great reference.

Pocket companion
Very helpful to get help for those cases you don't see often in the OR setting. I would recommend this book to residents as well as to senior anesthesiologists.

pretty much an iconic title
pretty much everybody I know in anesthesiology has this book. great handbook, being potentially superceded by the proliferation of apps for iPod Touch.However, this is a standard work to have on hand.very helpful book.

MGH got me through anesthesia school
I love Mass General.This book is small enough to put in your pocket or in any bag so you can take it with you into the OR.I used it constantly throughout anesthesia school.I definitely recommend having this reference!

Okay, but kind of cumbersome
First of all, I must say that this is an excellent book to get detailed information when you are in a bind in the OR.But the problem I have with this book is that it is sort of in a no-man's-land of materials.If I need the nitty-gritty on a subject, I go to Barash or Miller, but in the OR, I only need to get to the stuff I seem to have forgotten, so I go to Ezekiel. Mass General falls somewhere between too much information for the OR, and not enough information for home use.I've also found it rather difficult at times to find things with the small, cramped print. (Not to mention that it doesn't fit as easily as Ezekiel in the back pocket of your scrubs)
Undeniably, this is a good book with a wealth of information, but I don't understand why people rely on it so heavily.

Good for the O.R.
This book seems to be the icon for O.R. pocket references in Anesthesiology.

I carry this book with me to the O.R. almost daily for an available quick-read before an add-on case. The sections are set in a systematic and logical fashion, making review and reference quick. It's seen on almost every resident's anesthesia cart, and then the cover is usually well-worn from frequent use.

A very good book, but not intended for board review.

Anesthesia from A to Z
"Clinical Anesthesia Procedures of the Massuchussets General Hospital" offers concise yet thorough coverage on all aspects of anesthesia.From preoperative visit to basic airway management, from fluid requirements of the surgical patient to specific considerations on cardiac, respiratory and liver diseases, this book has it all in an easily accesible way, especially when your above the "blood-brain barrier".I would especially recomend the chapter on resuscitation of trauma and burns victims, because of the thorough coverage of the subject, better than in many surgical textbooks I have read.

Excellent Teaching Tool and Reference!
I have over 15 years of experience as an anesthesiologist at the prestigious Yale-New Haven Hospital in Connecticut.I've seen it all; however, this text challenged me.I highly recommend it, and everypracticing MD and CRNA should have a copy to review and use as a teachingtool and guide.

This is the only book you'll need in anesthesia!
This book encapsulates all the necessary information for clinical practiceof anesthesia.It also includes MANY charts and protocols for drugs,malignant hypothermia, ACLS, etc.I can't enter the OR without it. ... Read more

Excerpt:The Manor of Rensselaerswyck, Manor Rensselaerswyck, Van Rensselaer Manor, or just simply Rensselaerswyck (Dutch: ), is the name of a colonial estatespecifically, a Dutch patroonship and later an English manorowned by the van Rensselaer family that was located in what is now mainly the Capital District of New York in the United States. The estate was originally deeded by the Dutch West India Company in 1630 to Kiliaen van Rensselaer, a Dutch merchant and one of the company's original directors. Rensselaerswyck lay on both sides of the Hudson River near present-day Albany and included parts of the present New York counties of Albany, Columbia, Greene, and Rensselaer. The patroonship lasted successfully for more than two centuries, dying with its last patroon, Stephen van Rensselaer III in 1839. At his death, van Rensselaer's land holdings made him the tenth richest American in history to date. The manor was split between Stephen III's sons, Stephen IV and William. Farmers began protesting the feudal system and the anti-rent movement was eventually successful, causing Stephen IV and William to sell off most of their land, ending the patroonship in the 1840s. Upon discovery of the Albany area by Henry Hudson in 1609, the Dutch claimed the area as their own and set up two forts: Fort Nassau in 1614 and Fort Orange in 1624, both named for the Dutch royal House of Orange-Nassau. This established a Dutch presence in the area, formally called New Netherland. In June 1620, the Dutch West India Company was establishe...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=2859686 ... Read more
