Yao and Artusio’s Anesthesiology is one of the core texts for anesthesiology residents, and is frequently used as one of the primary study aides for the ABA oral boards.

The book covers all areas of anesthesia. Each chapter is based on a case history and questions that address disease knowledge and differential diagnosis, progressing through pre-op evaluation, intraoperative management, and postoperative care. The discussion to each question is followed by a short list of the most important references on that topic .

This seventh edition is presented in a full colour format, which should significantly improve the readability of the book. Pediatric topics are split off into a new section, rather than being incorporated into the organ-based sections.
