This review is from: Manual of Intensive Care Medicine: With Annotated Key References (Spiral Manual Series) (Paperback)
Very succinct and easy to read. Is a smaller version of Irwin's critical care book. Much better than the Washington Manual for Critical Care.

Fourth edition,
By
This review is from: Manual of Intensive Care Medicine: With Annotated Key References (Spiral Manual Series) (Paperback)
Several changes from the previous edition not mentioned in the product info include :
A. Overdoses and poisonings has been separated and placed in a separate pocket manual - although it still retains several chapters on common OD's. I would have preferred the editors remove all chapters except the "general considerations" chapter and refer readers to the sister manual. The sister manual is excellent but i would like to see expanded coverage. Also the units are non-SI (eg iron levels) and BUN rather than urea etc. The envenomations section is unhelpful for Australian readers. B. The prose style of the previous edition has been replaced by point-form. C. Resuscitation guidelines are outdated - still refering to the 2000 guidlines. D. Procedures/techniques section still has little on non-invasive cardiac monitoring eg pulse contour analysis techniques E. Coagulation chapter could be updated regarding tissue factor pathway - this is dealt with better in Barash/Cullen/Stoelting. Remains a good ICU pocket book & worth the updated edition.

This review is from: Manual of Intensive Care Medicine: With Annotated Key References (Spiral Manual Series) (Paperback)
Great handbook to carry around the Unit during rotations. I use Marino for home study and this for slow times on the Wards. It's pretty dense but has all the important information from the huge textbook by the same author.
