Introduction to Library Research for Anesthesia

Research in anesthesia primarily means searching for journal articles. The most comprehensive databases for this purpose are PubMed (the largest biomedical research database in the world) and CINAHL (the Cumulative Index for Nursing and Allied Health Literature). You will find links to these databases and other help with anesthesia research on this guide.
