Crisis Management in Anesthesiology, 2e - Tapa blanda

“Who should buy this book? The authors state in the Preface that they wrote it for everyone who administers anesthesia, from trainees to experienced practitioners. I have to say that I enthusiastically agree!

"The distinguished authors of this latest edition build on these foundations, which now include new chapters on teaching CRM and the vitally important skill of debriefing colleagues after they have experienced such challenging events. The catalogue of critical incidents has been completely overhauled and updated, to reflect contemporary practice with nearly 20 new scenarios added". Reviewed by British Journal of Anaesthesia, Jun 2015

"Those preparing for examinations, including maintenance of certification, or those preparing others for these exams will find this book to be an excellent resource." Reviewed by Jane Torrie, Oct 2015

“This is a tremendous book with the single focus of improving patient safety in the fluid situation of anesthesia administration. Every residency program has a curriculum to deal with predictable situations, but not necessarily with unpredictable situations. Other books on similar topics stress medical knowledge to improve the safety of patients, but this is the only one that highlights the importance of the development of cognitive and behavioral skills that are important for averting disaster in crisis situations. This is a must read for safe and better care of patients under anesthesia.

-Tariq M. Malik, MD (University of Chicago Pritzker School of Medicine) Doody's Score: 100 - 5 Stars!

"Every anesthesia provider needs to study, not just read, this new edition, even if you read the first edition. Also, distilled instructions of key elements of the cases covered in this book need to be included in manuals made available for emergencies (although that, too, needs further study on how best to use them). If I were your patient, I would ask if you had studied these principles. If you hadn’t, I might ask for another health care provider into whose hands I would want to entrust my life." Foreword by:  Jeffrey B. Cooper, PhD Harvard Medical School, Boston, Massachusetts, July 2015
