The Storm Anesthesia Manual - SAM is our course manual. It contains our complete course outline - plus several chapters on additional anesthesia topics we don't touch on during our course. The Manual received a significant overhaul with updates and formatting in 2020.
SAM is fully referenced to many of the primary textbooks on the market. We go to great lengths to refer to the actual page number where we found the material. SAM has numerous color graphics, which enhances the reader's experience and understanding of the material.
We print SAM on 24# paper, making it easy to highlight text without the highlighting showing through the pages. Most books like this are printed on cheap and flimsy 20# copy paper. SAM is comb bound so it can stay flat on the table. This binding form makes it easier to read and make notations in the book.
SAM is 562 pages full of information provided with a different approach than most review books. Although SAM is a workbook for our review course, the material is universal and written to benefit the reader long after the review course. There are no copies of PowerPoint slides but actual longhand paragraphs, making it much easier to read when studying for boards or refreshing the CRNA's memory.
This review book is written so non-course takers can benefit from the information. This makes it ideal even if you don't take our course.
