Review

Doody's Book Review Service, 06-MAY-08, David J. Dries, MD, University of Minnesota Medical School -- "This is an excellent pocket manual for medical students or postgraduate trainees facing that ICU rotation....The manual may be compared to the Critical Care Handbook of the Massachusetts General Hospital, 4th edition, edited by Bigatello, et al. (Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2006)."—Doody's Book Review Service

5.0 out of 5 stars THE manual to carry in the ICU, November 20, 2008

By	S. P. Kadiyala "spk" (Lubbock, TX) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I have been in Pulmonary & Critical Care Medicine practice for 9 years. This is the best ICU manual that I have come across. The material is thorough and up to date. At the same time, the authors & editors have kept it concise by using numerous tables and algorithms. Almost every aspect of ICU care was addressed. It is very hard to explain in words what a tremendous amount of information was put in such a neat, handy & easy-to-read manual. One has to really see and use this book to appreciate the great work. I recommend this book to anyone who works in medical ICUs.
