Weighted Numerical Score: 94 - 4 Stars! . However, it is most valuable to anesthesia trainees at all levels -- medical students, residents, fellows, and nurse anesthetists.

"Consummate pocket reference" according to Mike. Anyone involved in anesthesia generally recognizes the Mass Gen. as the best pocket reference out there. This new edition is no different. When you need something fast b/c it has slipped your mind, this is the 'goto' book.I highly recommend it to all MD/DOs, CRNAs & SRNAs.. Waste of white space on thick paper. Keep buying the previous edition. Please don't buy this book based on the reviews for the previous edition.While the contents are still good (and not much changed), the format of the new edition is downright stupid. They increased the size of the white margins and the thickness of the paper (to decrease manufacturing costs?), resulting in a probably 50% increase in weight and cross-sectional area. Definitely not a portable/pocket bo. best concise O.R. reference pain doc this book is the best concise operating room anesthesia reference available.anything bigger would be too large, it is not designed to teach but more to remind.
