    Why don't you give exact delivery time?

    Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

    Long description:

    During the transition from the clinical base year to the first clinical anesthesia year (CA-1), the resident finds himself transforming from a bright and confident intern to an entirely unprepared anesthesiology resident surrounded by unfamiliar equipment and drugs and confronted by patients with acute and dynamically changing physiologies. This book is a concise step-by-step ready reference manual which will help interns to transition smoothly to life in the
    operating room within the first few months.

    Anesthesiology CA-1 Pocket Survival Guide will flatten the learning curve and improve the comfort level of trainees entering the OR for the first time. Intended to help provide a smooth transition from intern to resident anesthesiologist, it highlights information to seek out during the orientation period. It provides easy-to-follow instructions for such common tasks as preparing the anesthesia machine, positioning the patient, and entering information into the electronic management
    system (EMS) and suggests how to obtain and organize a patient's preoperative information to present to the attending anesthesiologist.
