Media Reviews
'... the book provides a practical, concise reference for the trainee in critical care medicine. ... by its nature, critical care covers nearly all areas of inpatient medicine, making it difficult to produce a reasonably sized reference. The authors have done so and have wisely emphasised the underlying physiology of critical illness.' Journal of Anaesthesia and Analgesia
This is a well organized set of lecture notes. An advantage is the quick read and effective summary of controversies and cutting-edge critical care. --Doody's Review Service (R)
At its core, the book provides a broad discussion of the basics of ICU care, including excellent review chapters on the physiology of acute illness, mechanical ventilation, shock states, and fluid and electrolyte management.... Its most distinguished features, however, are detailed chapters about specific patient populations encountered in the ICU... Jeremy C Pamplin, MD, Respiratory Care
