Must-Have Companion for Barash's Clinical Anesthesia

Anybody familiar with the Barash's Clinical Anesthesia knows that it is probably the single book with the most information on all aspects of anesthesia in your library. You know that oftentimes there is just too much information to quickly obtain the need-to-know big-picture information. That is where this handbook comes in. It succinctly offers a summary of the most important information in Barash. The Handbook makes heavy use of tables and charts (many, but not all, of them directly from Barash). I am using the Handbook as a study guide and quick reference, and if any questions remain, I go to Barash. This is very convenient to do as the chapter numbers between the two resources correlate perfectly. In my opinion, if your school (or your practice) involves the use of Barash's Clinical Anesthesia, purchasing this handbook should be a no-brainer.

Nice Handbook

This is a really nice handbook. It is great to have in a lab coat pocket or bag so that you don't get stuck somewhere with nothing to read. Obviously, this is not a reference text. Easy to read and loaded with high yield information.

Exactly what was ordered

Book came in perfect condition. Exactly as described. Quick shipment. Would buy from this seller again.

Absolutelly fantastic!

I bought baby Barash and I loved it. It is the best first book you can have, and you can always bring it with you and have it ready. It is easy to find what you need. The information is compacted but enough that you can have a pretty good idea of a particular topic. It is a lovely book!

Excellent

A very nice companion to Barash's 2nd Edition "Big Book". A nice OR quick reference/primer. Also very helpful as a quick summary/review after reading a chapter in the big book.
