Anesthesiology and Critical Care Morning Report: Beyond the Pearls is a case-based reference that covers the key material included on the USMLE and end-of-rotation exams, with pearls for the Step 1, Step 2, and Step 3 exams. Focusing on the practical information you need to know, it teaches how to analyze a clinical vignette in the style of a morning report conference, sharpening your clinical decision-making skills and helping you formulate an evidence-based approach to realistic patient scenarios.
- Each case has been carefully chosen and covers scenarios and questions frequently encountered on USMLE exams, shelf exams, and clinical practice, integrating both basic science and clinical pearls
- Beyond the Pearls tips and secrets (all evidence-based with references) provide deep coverage of core material
- Morning Report/Grand Rounds format begins with the chief complaints to the labs, relevant images, and includes a "pearl" at the end of the case. Questions are placed throughout the case to mimic practical decision making both in the hospital and on the board exam
- Includes step-by-step procedural guides for common anesthesia and critical care procedures and coverage of transthoracic and transesophageal echo procedures
- Written and edited by experienced teachers and clinicians; each case has been reviewed by board certified attending/practicing physicians
