Important Anaesthesia Sites
ACCRI (the Anesthesia and Critical Care Resources on the Internet site) is a large well maintained database of internet resources for anaesthetists. You can search or browse. If you ever need the full contents of the ACCRI database e-mailed to you (beware, it's a VERY big file!), send a blank email message to accri@www.gasnet.org. Or just click here!
Instead of searching the whole net, browsing a dedicated anaesthesia site can give you a great overview of 'what's out there'.
The Virtual Anaesthesia Textbook is an international, organised, comprehensive and accessible listing of anaesthesia resources in a textbook style format.
Keith Ruskin's GasNet was a common starting points for US anesthesiologists, but has not been actively maintained from 1 Jan 2006. A historical copy remains here.
AnesthesiaNow is an interesting Organon-sponsored educational site for anaesthesia professionals.
Other excellent sites include Gary Malet's substantial and extremely well organised listing of general medical and anaesthesia information in the Medical Matrix site (now requires annual fee for registration), the Hardin Anesthesia MetaDirectory, Martingdale's Medical and Surgical - Anesthesiology Centre (with 170k of links to all kinds of medical and non-medical sites), AnesthesiaWeb, hosted by Roche, which contains links to Duke University's educational material (free subscription required). John Oyston's Anaesthetist's Home Page is a useful starting point for medicine related searches and Piet Beckaert's Anaesthesia International is particularly useful for anaesthesia providers in developing countries.
InVivo and AtMedica are large French language sites with anaesthesia sections. Narcomed are a German site with links to many European and international anaesthesia and toxicology sites.
E-Medicine is a comprehensive free on-line textbook of emergency medicine, with chapters now on almost any branch of medicine, and Respiratory Product News is a great ventilation resource.
Several sites stand out as 'reference' sites for certain geographic areas, and their significant local content makes them worthwhile places to visit:
Australia - Australasian Anaesthesia
Canada - Ottawa General and John Oyston's site
Europe - Dutch Anesthesia Corner , ACCRI, InVivo (France, French) Anestcadiz.com - Spanish, en Espagnol
USA -
South Africa - The Worldwide Anaesthetist - lectures, case histories etc.
