This is a easy to read textbook of anesthesiology that is very complete and yet comprehensive. I used it for my first 2 years as a resident and for my first exams. It was fun reading it because in a few words the authors are able to explane even difficult matter in a clear way. I recommend it to everyone that starts as a resident or for medicalstudents who are really interested in anesthesia.

The best all-around book for residents and practitioners.

Reviewer: dredzo, KCMO

I used the third edition of this book for my writtens and orals. I am fellowed in cardiothoracic anesthesia, and boarded in pain medicine. It is more than comprehensive enough for everday practice, and it is more than enough to get you through the written boards, and will certainly help with the orals. Miller, Barash (is there an etc to these two choices?) are much more comprehensive, but they are highly dependent upon the writers of each chapter: while some are great reading, others ramble on incessantly about studies which show effects on giant squid axons, or how 3-74% of rats will react when their tails are clamped. And who can forget the effects of isoflurane on the livers of salamanders? Morgan-Mikhail is put together logically, it is highly readable, and it is extremely affordable, and while it won't give you every answer, it's a good start.

An excellent first textbook in Anaesthetics.

This book is well-presented, easy to read and, with the case scenarios presented at the end of each chapter, puts some of the most important clinical considerations in anaesthetics into a truly practical way. It is relatively small too, so that it is portable and can be referenced easily. All in all, an excellent book.

Still a great resource

I just updated my older, well read copy recently. This is still my favorite anesthesia resource, the book I grab when I want to refresh my memory about this or that.
No, it's not as in depth as many, but it IS easy to read, and the major points are well covered.
Whether novice or experienced practitioner, this book has much to offer.

Good Book to Start

I used an older print of this book the first six months of my
CA-1 year and thought it was helpful in transitioning into the more comprehensive texts.

I highly recommend this book for the novice as an introduction into the specialty of Anesthesiology!
