5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book for resident on ICU rotation, November 10, 2007
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Critical Care: Just the Facts (Paperback)
I bought this book for an ICU rotation as intern and it has been remarkably useful. It is very concise yet useful in clinical application. For the busy intern or resident that doesn't have a lot of time for outside reading this the perfect companion. It also provides reference for source journal articles for further reading if interested. Overall, I am very happy I purchased this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, fast review, August 5, 2011
By 
BT (Australia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Critical Care: Just the Facts (Paperback)
The strength of this book is that it provides you with the essential basics in the minimal amount of time. When you study for board exam, there is just so much to read. Endless number of papers, huge volumes of textbooks...and not to mention all these other specialist books that you also have to read. This book makes life a little bit easier. It is a great summary...and exactly as its title suggests, contains just the relevant facts. If you are time poor, on-the-run, having a busy ICU rotation, juggling family commitment between exam., work and study, get this book! I went through its neurology section in a couple of days. That gives me a nice basic working knowledge to feel comfortable in treating neurocritical patients. With this basic framework, you can expand that knowledge later on, when you have more time. But at least, for now, you can talk intelligently with your colleagues, know what you are doing in the ward rounds and feel more confident in your ability to deal with a variety of critical care illnesses.

1.0 out of 5 stars Innecesario, July 28, 2008
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Critical Care: Just the Facts (Paperback)
El libro es casi una compilación de listas que abarcan diversos temas de los Cuidados Críticos. Los tópicos están tratados en forma superficial, no están bien actualizados y, por sobretodo, no puede competir en calidad y credibilidad con las fuentes electrónicas del conocimiento médico.
Me parece una obra por completo innecesaria en el siglo XXI. Le sugiero que no lo compre.
