Web Page Review: The Answer Page / Anesthesiology

D. John Doyle, MD PHD FRCPC

Toronto, Ontario

http://theanswerpage.com/anesthesiology/

This excellent anesthesia education site was kindly brought to my attention by Dr. Mark Glube, a senior anesthesia resident at our hospital who has used this service as a part of his preparation for the anesthesia fellowship examination. Every day, a question is posted at the site, with an accompanying answer about one to three pages in length, usually supported by extensive literature references. Most of the questions and answers are supplied by Stephen B. Corn M.D. and B. Scott Segal M.D. of the Department of Anesthesia, Harvard Medical School. If you visit the site daily you will undoubtably get a good CME experience. The exclusive sponsor of The Answer Page/Anesthesiology is Vital Signs, Inc. Plans for formal CME credits relating to this service are underway. As an example, here are the questions addressed for March 30, 2000: "Does propofol increase the chance of postoperative infection? What mechanisms may explain an association with postoperative infection?" The questions addressed on March 31, 2000 were: "Does etomidate suppress adrenocortical function? What is the mechanism of this effect? Can a single induction dose cause this effect? Do propofol, thiopental, midazolam, or methohexital share any of these effects on adrenocortical function?" The AnswerPage/Anesthesiology attempts to "follow a syllabus that mirrors the American Board of Anesthesiology Conent Outline (1996 revision), so that daily users will have completed an online review course of anesthesiology over the course of a year". You can view the full syllabus at http://theanswerpage.com/anesthesiology/news.html#Syllabus. Finally, there is also a search feature where one can search through past questions for certain key words.

I was most impressed with this marvelous educational initiative. Highly recommended.
