Review

University of Minnesota Medical School, 28-JAN-07 -- This is the third edition of an immensely popular overview of critical care practice. Practitioners at all levels will benefit from this work. This edition is another outstanding presentation of applied physiology for the clinician of any discipline practicing critical care. Production quality has been significantly enhanced with improved artwork and paper stock. I believe this edition will be as popular as its predecessors have been.

Most Helpful Customer Reviews 25 of 26 people found the following review helpful: 5.0 out of 5 stars Clear, concise, to the point, December 17, 1998 By A Customer This is a perfect way to obtain a fairly broad fund of ICU knowledge without having to stop every other paragraph to analize and digest the words used to express an idea. I find it very useful for residents and ICU fellows. All physicians in different levels of training will find something interesting in this book. Its size makes it very attractive and its no-frills medical terminology makes it extremely approachable. Tha fact that it has been written by a single author provides a wholesome quality and a unique global view of what the ICU is like. A definite MUST HAVE in anyone's basic ICU library. 11 of 11 people found the following review helpful: 5.0 out of 5 stars Essential for ICU rotation, May 15, 2001 By A Customer This book provides the essential background for ICU rotation.
