Features: China has tens of thousands of anesthesiology practitioners. Due to historical and other reasons, the professional standards of anesthesiology practitioners are uneven. The Zhongshan Hospital receives over 50 anesthesiology trainees annually, and almost every cohort of trainees, including anesthesiologists from various ranks and titles in different hospitals, reflects that searching for anesthesiology information is the major obstacle in conducting clinical research. This includes retrieving anesthesiology literature, searching full-text databases, accessing foreign-language and full-text anesthesiology resources online, facilitating information exchange at anesthesiology conferences, and collecting the latest advancements in anesthesiology, among others. To adapt to this situation and meet their needs for collecting anesthesiology information, we believe it is necessary to provide them with a convenient and practical book for gathering anesthesiology information.
Society has developed into the 21st century, making it even more crucial to effectively utilize the internet as a medium for information collection. There are already numerous books available on the online use of medical information, but medical information and anesthesiology information have many distinct characteristics. Moreover, the authors of medical information books are often librarians or information professionals who have limited knowledge of anesthesiology. Therefore, the editors of this book have carefully selected and curated vast amounts of anesthesiology information, recommending excellent anesthesiology professional websites to practitioners nationwide to assist them in their clinical and research work. The editors of this book are doctoral and master's students with expertise in anesthesiology information collection, as well as young and middle-aged anesthesiology experts with rich experience in the field.
