978-3-642-45406-6 (ISBN)
Ability to learn from errors is an essential aspect of the quest to improve treatment quality and patient safety. This book consists of 33 cases in anesthesiology that is based on real life situations and illuminate avoidable complications and mishaps. The cases are presented in a novel manner in that they are embedded within narratives. The reader comes to each case "cold", without any clue as to the content, and each case comprises a narrative and a factual component that are interwoven. The narrative parts provide the reader with information and tips regarding the clinical problems and tasks that the protagonist must face and try to solve. The idea is to engage the reader emotionally while reading and to entertain him or her while learning. All cases conclude with short debriefing sections which include possible strategies to prevent similar errors or mishaps.

"The book opens with biographies of the fictional characters found in the clinical vignettes that follow, a little like the opening notes for a play. Each chapter leads then with a clinical vignette, some form of critical incident, a discussion of clinical issues and a dissection of the causes of the mishap. ... For the Novice wanting a readable overview of anaesthetic mishap or indeed for the experienced clinician wanting CPD and a fireside read, this book has a place." (M. F. Dowling, British Journal of Anaesthesia, Vol. 115 (3), September, 2015)

"The book brings to light common pitfalls that we encounter in our everyday practice and complements other traditional textbooks on the subject of medical errors and patient safety. The subject matter and anesthesia pearls covered in this book will be of great relevance to anesthesiologists at all levels of training. It provides a good starting point for teaching anesthesia trainees and could prompt targeted discussion. I wholeheartedly recommend this book to trainees and clinicians involved in perioperative care." (Daniel Dubois, Canadian Journal of Anesthesia/Journal canadien d'anesthésie, Vol. 62, April, 2015)
