Dorsch and Dorsch’s Understanding Anesthesia Equipment is simply the most thorough book on anesthesia equipment out there that I am aware of. You will find most of the general basics of anesthesia equipment in Barash’s Clinical Anesthesia and even more summary books like Stoelting’s Basics of Anesthesia) and Morgan & Mikhail’s Clinical Anesthesiology. Nevertheless, those books tend to not give you the ins-and-outs of all of the various equipment out there. Dorsch & Dorsch provide very detailed in rank ad nauseum. But, the endless black-and-white diagrams and black-and-white photos (though it appears very right) make the book very trying to find the precise in rank that you are looking for. And the black-and-white diagrams tend to be much more trying to know than is necessary. For a book that has been through so many revisions and expenditure well upward of a hundred bucks, I would guess some color photos and some better constructed color diagrams.
The book does seem thorough, but is simply so much more trying to use than it needs to be. Using Dorsch & Dorsch as a base text, we are strongly in need of a full revision aimed at formatting, photo, and diagram revisions.
The website included in the book offers a searchable text and a test bank. The search engine on the text is poor and very trying to use. I find myself going to the chapter of interest and using a ctrl-f browser-based search of the page. The online quizzes are the exact same as is found at the end of each chapter. I have taken about half of the quizzes and have found errors in the online-based quiz bank in approximately half of those that I took. In need of some quality control. Nevertheless, I am grateful of the online access to the text.

I am sad that this will be the last volume by authors I have relied on since I started in anesthesia in 1981. This is my third buy of one of their works but I must say that I am dissappointed. Much of the charm of earlier editions (I own 1st and 4th) seems to be gone and there seems to be a reliance on manufacturer’s supplied illustrations. Explanations and diagrams seem to come directly from the manufactuer.
That being said I would still urge this book to students (both SRNAs and Resident physcians)as a required text. This book will alow you to be competent to distress shoot a system even as coming up for BME to arrive,or for you to feel confident to swap a machine in the middle of a case. It gives you a familiarization of much adjunct equipment before you use it the first time. It apprises you of possible hazards and deals with evnvironmental issues in anesthetizing locations.
Not their best work, but have not seen anyone else consistently cover this topic over the span of their work. A substitution will be hard to find, and future practitioners will suffer with their retirement.

An inevitable must for all new residents appearance into the world of anaesthesia and medical technology.
Each new edition of the book gets more and more modern equipment oriented – bringing up the rear out on the simplistic educational value of the older equipment. The gradual loss of the Non-rebreathing valves, from the second edition followed by Goldman aerosol, EMO, OMV etc has reduced the level of ‘ease of understanding’ for fresh residents. Indeed, the focus on high tech is a drawback for do of field/military/third world anaesthesia. There is something to be learnt from the ancient Ward, Ehrenwerth or even the Farman for youngsters.
Other than this, an brilliant & comprehensive textbook. May possibly have done with a small more detail on advanced newer technologies being introduced.
