Sedation: A Guide to Patient Management 5th Edition, Stanley F. Malamed DDS
Combining essential theory with “how-to” technical instruction, this concise guide is the leading reference for basic techniques in sedation and anxiety control in the dental office. The latest guidelines from the ADA and the American Society of Anesthesiologists keep you up-to-date with the latest medical standards. Content on patient management for pediatric, geriatric, physically compromised, and medically compromised patients helps you successfully treat any patient population.
This is the 4th edition of a popular textbook presently used by many dental schools in North America. For this edition, Dr. Malamed enlisted the help of Dr. Morris Clark, who co-authored the section on inhalational sedation, as well as Dr. Kenneth Reed, who upgraded the section on medically compromised patients. In addition to the improvements engendered by these co-authors, many of the illustrations and diagrams have been updated, and overall the new edition is superior to the third edition. The primary target audiences are pre- and post-doctoral dental students wishing to learn more about sedation and anxiety control. Increasingly, other medical practitioners such as podiatrists, plastic and reconstructive surgeons, and even gastroenterologists are performing office sedation and they too would find this book very useful.
This is a very good book for the clinician who wants to gain an understanding of proper patient management for the sedated patient, rescue breathing for the over-sedated, and how to properly monitor your sedated patient. This is not the book for a person who wants to do just conscious sedation though. It does review conscious sedation, but not very thoroughly. I recommend this book to anyone wishing to increase their understanding of how to manage your patient during sedation as a whole.

Basic concepts for the safe and effective practice of local anesthesia in dentistry today are emphasized, along with the most current advances in science, technology, and pain control techniques.
A practical, "how-to" guide to safe anesthesia practices in dentistry, Handbook of Local Anesthesia, 6th Edition covers all the latest advances in science, instrumentation, and pain control techniques. From basic concepts to specific injection techniques, from dosage charts to the proper care and handling of equipment, this book provides in-depth, full-color coverage of key anesthesia topics, including specific hazards and errors in technique that may result in complications. Written by Dr. Stanley Malamed, dentistry's leading expert on this subject, Handbook of Local Anesthesia is a valuable reference that will help you prevent, recognize, and manage complications of local anesthesia administration.
This book, in my opinion is the best one in the topic of local anesthesia.
This 6th edition is well written, just like the previous one, covering the whole aspect of local anesthesia. This book is important for every one dealing with local anesthesia in the dental field. The chapter of anatomy is marvelous. The book arrived in excellent condition.

Alexander's Care of the Patient in Surgery 14th Edition, Jane C. Rothrock PhD RN CNOR FAAN
For more than 60 years, Alexander's Care of the Patient in Surgery has been an essential resource for perioperative nursing care. The detailed instruction in this thirteenth edition continues in the tradition of providing explanations of more than 400 contemporary and traditional specialty surgical interventions and numerous minimally invasive surgical procedures. In addition, a Special Considerations unit includes separate chapters for ambulatory, pediatric, geriatric, and trauma surgeries, as well as complementary and alternative therapies.
You'll find nearly 1000 full-color illustrations and photos to help you become familiar with surgical anatomy, procedures, methods, and equipment coupled with the latest trends and practices including patient and family education and safety-including the most recent JCAHO initiatives and updated OSHA guidelines regarding workplace safety. Alexander's Care of the Patient in Surgery provides you with all of the information you need to deliver safe, cost-effective, high-quality patient care.
I'm fairly new to peri-operative nursing and have purchased several other books to help me prepare and understand my work better. This is by far the best resource as it gives a great overview of the surgical procedures. I reference it prior to every procedure to which I am assigned. If one is looking for a reference to help with more detail regarding skin preparation, equipment, positioning aids, instrumentation and supplies needed for the procedure, I recommend the Pocket Guide to the Operating Room by Maxine A. Goldman. The combination of these two books has helped me immensely.
