Solid Critical Care Review Book,
By
This review is from: Critical Care Study Guide: Text and Review (Paperback)
This text was designed to be a review manual for the critical care boards. It does an overall excellent job and succeeds in its mission superbly. It should be noted that this text does not replace standard texts of critical care medicine but can easily act as an additional supplement to them.
It may be a little too advanced for medical students but I will highly recommend it for my interns and seniors doing their critical care rotations. It can easily be read during the month rotation and brings out the essential key points that they should be learning.

Great: But can get a bit wordy,
By "ishan" (PA, United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Critical Care Study Guide: Text and Review (Paperback)
As a fourth year medical student, I found this book to be a great reference during my ICU rotations. That being said, this book should not replace "The ICU book" as a standard operating manual. This book contains much more Information than the ICU book, but is better left for reading at night after you have finished your day.For example, the Chapter on Mechanical Ventilation, is a terrific, very thorough explanation of Vents and vent management, but is very detailed. A little more detailed than a medical student needs. This book will serve me very well during residency. This along with "The ICU book" are must haves for your Critical Care library.
