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.�
An eBook version is included with purchase. The eBook allows you to access all of the text, figures and references, with the ability to search, customize your content, make notes and highlights, and have content read aloud.�
