In an amazing lecture; Joe Novak, ED doc and former combat aviator; spoke about the need for memorized boldface actions and then the availability of a quick reference handbook (QRH) for the next steps. But where are either of those things for resuscitation? That lack was the inspiration for the past 4 years of my life and the life of my guest this week, Dave Borshoff. Dave is an anesthesiologist in Perth, AU and a former pilot. He is author of the Anesthesia Crisis Manual and co-editor of the just-released Resus Crisis Manual.

How is it not a financial disclosure either at the top or in the financial disclosure section that this post will serve to promote a book you’re co-editing? It might be suggested by the “four years of my life” but it should be made clear. This is supposed to be FOAMed after all. Otherwise, the book sounds great and the lecture is definitely worthwhile.
perhaps b/c there is not a single mention of any incitement to purchase the book until a big picture of it with Dr. Weingart’s name on it or the fact that there is no extolling of the book in this post, only in the podcast where Dr. Weingart mentions repeatedly that he coedited the book with Dr. Borshoff
This book is astonishing !
Crystal clear algorithm with precise drug dosing.
I am pretty sure it is going to become a standard in emergency practice.
We all have gap in our knowledge in emergency medicine, this book bridge those gaps and become a perfect reference in “Sh*t hits the fan” scenarios.
In this era of digital technology, it’s the only book i’ll carry 😉
Sincerely
Fred
Fred,
Thanks for these kind words! Do you mind if we add them to the book’s website?
Thanks for this, it’s brilliant.
Editing error that I have noticed – the first page of Massive Transfusion (6A) has been replaced by a repeat of the second page of Hypertensive Encephalopathy (5B) in my .epub, i.e. I don’t have a left side / first page of Massive Transfusion.
Hope this can be fixed!
Thanks Ben. It’s been corrected. You should be receiving an email soon (as promised for corrections or updates) so you can download the corrected version.
For any UK/EU people that have bought the book, how does it hold up in regards to region related practice differences and drug types/doses? Looking at the sample pages everything seems similar enough to UK practice except for the adrenaline/epinephrine terminology. After listening to far too much FOAMed podcasts I’ve already slipped up and called it epinephrine when talking to colleagues (I blame PARAMEDIC-2) but I’ve yet to say it in an actual resuscitation situation . . . Also, how big is the book? Will it fit in my scrubs pocket? If not, are there any plans to produce a… Read more »
Size is 7.25 inches x 9.25 inches
No plans at this stage for pocket size – perhaps eBook on smartphone could be a suitable alternative?
Hey so I bought the ebook, Thanks so much. Somehow the text of section 6A is the same as section 5B… Probably not the first to comment on that, though. Working in Switzerland we don’t really use Clevidipin/ Nircadipin, at least not to my knowledge… we use Uradipil a lot. Any thoughts on that? I’m thinking especially in regards of intracerebral hemorrhage but also in treatment of hypertensive emergencies in general….Great great work! I’ll be using this!! Cheers

I’ve been SO looking forward to this!
And, no surprise, “Print versions will be dispatched ~ Aug 19th as initial print run sold out“
just got it , scott.
at first glance, superb.
shall say more as i progress.
thank you scott and dave.
Hi all, wondered if any of you happen to know of any published papers discussing the use of quick reference handbooks, either within the medical field or outside of medicine? Thank you!
I saw this book and was excited to buy it and check it out. I ordered it at the beginning of December 2018. I received an email saying it would be shipped later in December. I still have not received the book. I tried contacting Leeuwin press numerous times. They have not responded or sent me the book. My credit card was charged and I still have no book. I am very disappointed to be honest.
