The core clinical competencies in anesthesiology can be pretty blurry - just how do they apply to real life? This book answers this question, incorporating the core clinical competencies into an engaging format that anesthesiologists like - case studies. So, far from being a 'dry and dusty volume of forgotten lore', this book actually makes learning the competencies fun! Written in the same engaging style as a number of other anesthesia books (specifically, the Board Stiff opus) by leading anesthesiologists from leading medical centers across the United States, this book will bring the core clinical competencies to life for medical students.

Sharpen the procedural skills necessary for the optimal care of the anesthetized patient Featuring an easy-to-navigate, atlas-oriented format, Anesthesia Unplugged gives you lightning-fast access to the entire spectrum of perioperative, ambulatory, regional, and general procedures. More than any other text, Anesthesia Unplugged disarmingly demystifies anesthesiology, as the book's authors and contributors take you on a engaging, yet educational voyage to places like "Intravenous World" (Part I), "Arterial Land" (Part II), and "Efficiency-Ville" (Part V). What's more, the book's comprehensive coverage is supported every step of the way by a skill-building, profusely illustrated art program. Features: Authoritative, complete, and attention-getting coverage of all relevant anesthesia procedures, from the IV and laryngoscopy, to the combined spinal-epidural and transesophageal echocardiography Streamlined, templated format breaks down critical information into manageable chunks and allows pin-point navigation-ideal for busy residents and clinicians who need to rapidly master complex anesthesia procedures Amusing, engaging tone that helps simplify and spur interest in chapter content; chapters include "The Rodney Dangerfield of Lines, the IV," "EEEEK! Do We Dare? The Brachial A-Line," "The Mask of Zorro. Mask Ventilation," and "The Lung's Not Down, You Idiot! Lung Isolation" Distinguished roster of expert contributors who deliver the most commanding perspectives on modern anesthesia with wit and wisdom 600 clear, content-clarifying illustrations that put key anesthesia procedures into proper clinical perspective

Following the success of his "Board Stiff and Board Stiff Too" review books for the oral boards in anesthesiology, Dr. Gallagher strikes again with "Board Stiff TEE: Transesophageal Echocardiography". Humorous, yet pragmatic, this new book reviews all of the knowledge covered in the new competence examination in perioperative transesophageal echocardiography (PTEeXAM). Schematic drawings make complex concepts easier to understand, and a valuable appendix tackles quantitative problems associated with TEE. The result is a highly effective, enjoyable, and affordable review tool on this increasingly important monitoring modality.
