More About This Textbook
Overview
Yao and Artusio's Anesthesiology is among the core texts for anesthesiology residents, and is frequently used as one of the primary study aids for the ABA oral boards. The book covers all areas of anesthesia using a problem-based approach. As in prior editions, the goal of the text is to present a group of important clinical entities covering the most critical anesthetic problems, and to provide logical and scientific fundamentals for individualized patient management.
Each chapter is based on a real-world case history and includes questions that address every facet of management—from disease knowledge and differential diagnosis, through preoperative evaluation, intraoperative management, and postoperative care. The discussion of each question is followed by a short list of the most important references on that topic.
• Real-world cases incorporate questions commonly encountered on the wards and are great preparation for the oral boards.
• Broad scope covers all major areas of anesthesiology
• Problem-based approach emphasizes critical thinking, collaborative decision-making, and problem-solving skills.
NEW to the Seventh Edition…
• Fully revised content with updated references assures readers of the most current, clinically relevant information.
• Full-color, abundantly illustrated format highlights essential anatomic features and improves anesthetic technique.
• New pediatrics section highlights the specific challenges of anesthesia in young patients.
• New authors and contributors share expertise and fresh perspectives from a range of disciplines.
• Companion website includes the fully searchable text.
Editorial Reviews
From The Critics
Reviewer:Gita Rupani, MD(University of Chicago Pritzker School of Medicine)Description:This is a problem-oriented patient management book that describes a case and then poses questions about the disease and differential diagnosis. Stimulating questions about management of the case are followed by answers and well-referenced discussions.
Purpose:It is intended to present important clinical scenarios covering common anesthesia problems. Individualized patient management with logical explanations and fundamental principles are described. This updated edition covers new advances in surgical procedures and changing clinical practices of anesthesia, adding several new chapters and new authors.
Audience:The book is written by authors who are well recognized in the field of anesthesiology for the education of residents and practicing anesthesiologists. Questions and answers and the complete perioperative management format are engaging for both learners and providers.
Features:The format is effective. Coronary artery bypass, cancer pain, and obstetric anesthesia are some common areas which practicing anesthesiologists may not regularly encounter, and this book can serve as a fast reference for them. Each answer to a question has a reference. References after each question and answer seem to stand out more in this edition. Perhaps numbering the references or combining them on one page may have saved some space and possibly decreased the size of the book.
Assessment:This edition addresses acute pain management and regional techniques in the setting of anticoagulants for thromboprophylaxis, an important topic of some debate for readers in anesthesia and even surgical services. Well referenced and current, this is a welcome revision.

From The Critics
Reviewer: Martin H Dauber, MD(University of Chicago Pritzker School of Medicine)Description: This book presents a series of classic case studies and a step-by-step approach to preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative anesthesia considerations. This edition separates out the pediatric cases for the first time, and also has extended its field of authors to include some outside the Weill-Columbia system.
Purpose: It is designed to facilitate the organized study of cases in preparation for the American Board of Anesthesiology (ABA) oral examination and is intended primarily for trainees and those in the process of obtaining ABA certification. This approach differs from that of the standard textbook, and is a welcome and wonderful supplement to training. The question-and-answer format is the ideal way to teach for the boards, as it represents the reality of the oral examination.
Audience: The book is intended for trainees in anesthesiology, although Dr. Yao notes that it can be useful for those seeking recertification (which is currently by written examination only). Junior residents can benefit from the approach and style of the question and answer format; more senior residents will surely read into the details of each case and lengthy discussions. The senior editors are among the best-known educators and writers in the field, and they have true authority.
Features: Basic and complex cases are covered from the preoperative evaluation and testing to the intraoperative management of routine and critical situations. Postanesthetic management is covered, with a focus on complications. Each discussion incorporates the references, rather than putting them at the end of the chapter, which makes it easier to navigate. The cases are organized by organ system, except the pediatric cases, which are grouped separately. There are very few illustrations, and more might have been helpful (e.g. cardiac valves/echocardiograms).
Assessment: This is an outstanding book. The discussions are succinct and easy to read. The style appears to be exactly what is expected in the oral portion of the ABA examination. Accordingly, this will be helpful to anyone in the certification process. The seventh edition, along with its online version (accessible in its entirety from anywhere), is a most worthwhile component of the anesthesiology trainee's library.
