When you’re about to go into the operating room, be interviewed for a job, or are just looking for a refresher, this handy book, Pocket Anesthesia by Richard D. Urman, MD.; Jesse M Ehrenfeld, MD.; and Richard D. Urman is the way to go.
For a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist (CRNA), this pocket reference guide is awesome. It covers every major patient management issue someone will find in clinical anesthesia, all in one concsice, pocket-size and ring-bound book. With 36 chapters and 302 pages, this thing is surprisingly small and contains a lot of information.
It’s a great resource any CRNA could use.

Site Price: $46.79Amazon review:
I kept on seeing students, residents, CRNAs and even attendings in the department using this book to prepare for cases and for the boards. So I ordered a copy for myself and am extremely pleased. While the book looks small it is complete and comprehensive, including both basic and advanced topics. The six-ring binder fits nicely in the pocket of my lab coat or I can choose to just carry a few of the loose-leaf pages around with me. There is a LOT of information crammed into this little book. It’s generously illustrated with many relevant lists, tables, and algorithms, which condenses a ton of information. A very, very useful resource in deed, I recommend it for everyone studying or practicing Anesthesiology.

One reviewer on Amazon says:
This is far and above the best book for LPN students. I checked out many books from the library and then found this one. The book is broken down into systems with a great review of that system before the questions. The disc is set up with numerous ways to take tests and from former LPN students, it is similar to the actual NCLEX.
