“The book is primarily written for anesthesiology residents and fellow physicians but is also well-suited to those training in critical care medicine and emergency medicine. Additionally, the book is appropriate for critical care nurses who are undergoing training to become certified registered nurse anesthetists. … serves as a useful aid to anesthesiology trainees' study materials. It is highly organized, easy to read, and contains a large amount of practical considerations of procedures especially related to airway management and vascular access.” (Jared Konner, Doody's Book Reviews, June 4, 2021)

This book describes in concise yet detailed step-by-step instructions on how to perform common procedures, including complex airway management, vascular access, neuraxial blocks, and nuanced anesthetic techniques; it not only covers this breadth of procedures, but presents them in an accessible manner.
Chapters follow the format of the indications for a particular procedure, a list of equipment required, step-by-step instructions for performing the procedure, common complications, and troubleshooting techniques. The book is designed intentionally for the busy physician to be able to easily read the essential information, including lists of equipment necessary, numbered steps to perform the procedure, tables of common errors and methods to troubleshoot, indications and contraindications for procedures, detailed photos of equipment setup, and handmade diagrams and images.
Anesthesiology Resident Manual of Procedures is comprehensive and written with the physician-in-training in mind, as well as those who are completing their residency or fellowship in the fields of anesthesiology, critical care medicine, and emergency medicine.
