Customer Reviews

Good Resource

This book will make any student nurse anesthetist's clinical experience easier. This is a great resource to have while creating your anesthetic plan for each case. You will want to keep this book throughout your professional career.

Now COMPATIBLE with Palm OS 5

I spoke directly with the publisher and both authors by e-mail about the previous problems users had with this great book on Palm OS 5. They assured me that a newer version of the PDA program has been developed and it works fine. I've verified this myself, using both the older, incompatible version and the newer, mobipocket reader-based version on my new Zire 72. The latter version is easy to navigate and gives you immediate access to all the PDA content. If you want to be sure to get the more recent PDA version, buy direct from the publisher, or just make sure you get the mobipocket reader version with your book.

PDA Compatability???

I am now shopping for a PDA specifically for use as a CRNA. I am most impressed with microsoft-based vs. Palm-based PDA... although there is no info. on compatability with microsoft-based system. Can anyone comment on this?

PDA version of Essence of Anesthesia Practice

The PDA version is not compatible with Palm OS 5 despite the statement "for Palm OS 3.5 and higher". The publisher's comment was an unhelpful statement confirming this incompatibility.Intending purchasers of the PDA version should be informed of this clearly in the promotional material.

Great problematic systemic anesthesia assistance

I purchased this book for my husband. He has been a CRNA for 20+ years. He has found this book to be an excellent source of information. By having individual systemic problems on each page with the review of problems, it's causes, and anesthesia implications; this book makes it easier in formulating your anesthesia plan. For the numerous varieties of problems that patients display, having something like this is great for any medical library.
