A Doody’s Core Title for 2019!



Hailed as the best primer on the topic, Morgan & Mikhail’s Clinical Anesthesiology has remained true to its stated goal: “to provide a concise, consistent presentation of the basic principles essential to the modern practice of anesthesia.” This trusted classic delivers comprehensive coverage of the field’s must-know basic science and clinical topics in a clear, easy-to-understand presentation. At the same time it has retained its value for coursework, review, or as a clinical refresher.



This Sixth Edition has been extensively revised to reflect a greater emphasis on critical care medicine, enhanced recovery, and ultrasound in anesthesia practice.


Key features that make it easier to understand complex topics:

•Rich full-color art work combined with a modern, user-friendly design make information easy to find and remember

•Case discussions promote application of concepts in real-world clinical practice

•Boxed Key Concepts at the beginning of each chapter identify important issues and facts that underlie the specialty

•Numerous tables and figures encapsulate important information and facilitate recall

•Up-to-date discussion of all relevant areas of anesthesiology, including equipment and monitors, pharmacology, pathophysiology, regional anesthesia, pain management, and critical care

•URLs for societies, guidelines, and practice advisories

Pros: I liked the easygoing descriptions from the author of some chaptyers.

Cons: I feel there's better books in Spanish about the general topics in the initial chapters without being so refuscado so to say. I always felt some chapters in this book needed to slim the text a bit and get to the point in some chapters, whereas it felt needing of more information in other chapters. For topics like the engineering aspects of vaporizers and anesthesia machines as a whole, the Spanish language PAC book series wins over any English language book I have ever read.

I don't remember if this was the book, but I have a hunch this is the infamous book with a missing zero in the Suphentanyl TIVA graph. I would have to look it up, but if this is the book, I feel horrified how many near misses happened by such a critical typo.

However, for the standards of chonky English language textbooks, the Morgan is an okay enough read.

I used to refer to this book in my Anesthesiology course in medical school. the book may seem dense, large, with over one thousand pages. but when you start reading about a certain subject, you will notice the information is so brief, so shallow. You need to refer to other books and articles. I don't recommend it for studying nor gaining knowledge to practice basic Anesthesiology.

One of my favorite books about Anesthesiology.

This is a straightfoward, clear reading. It presents all the relevant topics in anesthesiology in a interesting manner. Recommended as a objective reference in the specialty.
