Customer Reviews

a staple reference for learners and providers

one of the many books adopted for study during anesthesia training programs. very useful for newbies and existing practitioners.a

Outstanding reference text!

I'm a Navy SRNA in school right now. I use this text all the time. It is comparable to Miller in accuracy and analysis, but its true value lies in conveying such a huge amount of information with brevity. The chapters are not so long as to be tedious and they have all been updated with the current research. I actually enjoy reading the chapters - they are informative and presented in a a very readable manner without digressing into unnecessary minutia. I heartedly recommend this is a gold standard reference text for the anesthetic practice. The pages are high quality and color and the online access is very convenient. The only two real choices in reference texts are Barash and Miller. Barash is shorter, cheaper, and just as respected. I like Miller, but I could not get through school without Barash.

Outstanding clinical reference

Dr. Barash et. al. have produce a very thorough reference for clincal anesthesia. This book is great because it has the advanced information for understanding concepts of anesthesia without bogging you down with overwhelming research summaries. It is more advanced than Morgan and Mikhail but more understandable and to the point compared with Miller. It is just right.

A Barash Follower

In Anesthesiology they say you are either a "Barash Person" or a "Miller Person." It is my personal opinion that Barash does probably the best job at providing content that is relevant and devoid of minutia. All sections contain material that is optimal for reading and assimilation. The text is large, yet it is far from dry. I highly recommend this as "The" backbone text for Anesthesiology!

a must read

confidence is key to anesthesia, and by reading this book evrything that we do in the OR starts making sense. Basics texts are for basics only.
