Summary

This review book is based on the keyword list distributed to residency program directors each year. Each of the 316 entries begins with a keyword, followed by a list of key points and a one- or two-page discussion written by a resident and reviewed by Yale University faculty. Entries cover all areas of anesthesiology, including pediatric anesthesia. For easy reference, the book is indexed in three ways--alphabetically, by rotation or organ system, and according to the Boards organization. A companion Website offers the fully searchable online text. (www.keywordsreview.com)
