Editorial Reviews

Review

Principles of Critical Care is a very thorough and well-written textbook that has been carefully edited by three masters of intensive care medicine….It succeeds in achieving that tricky balance of being thorough and complete yet readable and practical. It's the kind of book that benefits all intensivists and anybody dealing with the critically ill.”--Critical Care Medicine (Critical Care Medicine ) --This text refers to an alternate Hardcover edition.

From the Back Cover

Reviews of previous editions celebrate the long-standing tradition of excellence in critical care education and practice
[review quotes]
"... Clearly the finest textbook available in the field."
—Critical Care Medicine Journal*
”... Very well done ... unusually user-friendly ... excellent ... a significant contribution to the field. It should be placed not only in the critical care practitioner's library, but also in the rounds and nurses' conference rooms of critical care units."
—Journal of the American Medical Association*
" ... Fills a long-vacant niche with authority."
—Post Graduate Medicine*

This review is from: Principles of Critical Care (Hardcover)
This is an excellent review of the most common problems found in the clinical practice of Critical Care. It helps with the initial assessment of the patient and formulates a systematic approach to the differential diagnosis and therapeutic plan. The bibliography is updated and it has detailed illustrations and diagrams. Certainly, recommended as reference for those persons involved in the management of Critical Care patients.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must!!, November 6, 2004
This review is from: Principles of Critical Care (Hardcover)
This text is clearly one of the best in its field. It is well organized and very thorough. The organization and attention to detail make it a great referrence source and an easy read. It should be in anyone's library that takes of critically ill patients. I would highly recommend it for fellows in critical care medicine. The "Pretest" question and answer study guide that is a companion to this text is also excellent and a great tool for the critical care boards. I am anxiously awaiting the next edition.
