Anesthesiology: A Problem-Based Learning Approach

Using illustrative clinical cases, this volume in the Problem-Based Learning series reviews key topics in Anesthesia frequently encountered in clinical practice and on examinations. It highlights practical issues that arise in the operating room and solutions for them. With real-world clinical cases and discussion questions that guide case progression, this book facilitates both individual and small-group learning. Each case is further broken down to include additional related subtopics for maximum yield. Evidence-based reviews and multiple-choice self-assessment questions follow each case, making this book ideal for continuing education in anesthesia for the generalist and specialist practitioner. Teachers and trainees in anesthesiology will take advantage of this book's features for targeted teaching, learning, and retention.
