Lippincott's Anesthesia Review: Questions and Answers. Download e-Book. Posted on. Page Count. Years of reading and clinical practice aid with the first aim, but rehearsal may be the key to the second.
The book is exactly what it claims to be, and nothing more: it is, simply stated, just over a thousand board-style questions, each accompanied by a brief explanation of the answer. But to its credit, there is consistency in the format and breadth of information covered in each. At a svelte pages, Anesthesia Review is quite portable, and therefore easily smuggled into operating rooms for stolen moments of imminently interruptible study. Of note, its greatest virtue is not the book itself but rather the highly customizable electronic test bank that accompanies its purchase.
Through the publisher online, the reader can create tests of varying lengths, from one question to, well, 1,, including or excluding content from any designated chapter. Each session can be completed in one of two modes. The test mode simulates the examination process in high fidelity and after test completion results are displayed and content can be reviewed for each question.
The review mode reveals the explanation after each question is answered, thus allowing for immediate activation of both the amygdala and hippocampus each time a conceptual vulnerability is unmasked with an incorrect answer. Having studied for and taken a staggering number of examinations in the past several years, I can say that an interactive format makes study more engaging and, as a result, more palatable.
This book and its test bank make the process of examination preparation more like a game, for which all diplomates-to-be and diplomates should be grateful. However, one strong caveat stands: this book is less about study and more about practice.
Each question presents a discrete moment of potential learning, limited in scope, designed for mastering the medium of test taking. The glaring absence of annotated references within the answers does not direct the examinee to a trusted resource for expanding content mastery—it is left to you, the reader, to find a reputable source.
This text is unlikely to significantly expand your knowledge base and should certainly not be used as a primary source for preparation of in-training or board certification examinations. It is merely the icing on the proverbial content cake, designed less to help you learn about the practice of clinical anesthesiology than to aid in its test preparation.
