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.

THE manual to carry in the ICU,
By
This review is from: The Washington Manual of Critical Care (Paperback)
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.

An absolute must-have for a resident in the ICU,

This review is from: The Washington Manual of Critical Care (Paperback)
I used it daily in my ICU months. I used it in the Emergency Room. I used it on the floor. I literally use it all the time. I don't care any other books or any other guides... just the Wash Manual of Critical Care. Aside from a Sanford's antibiotic guide, it's the only must-have book for a medical intern.

This review is from: The Washington Manual of Critical Care (Paperback)
this is the perfect manual for use in the ICU. full of tables covering algorithms. covers most of the problems that might be encountered in critical care patients. this is definitely slanted more towards the medical ICU type patients as opposed to surgical patients. therefore i found it more useful for my MICU rotation. however the basics are the same for SICU and MICU, airway management, shock, sepsis, vents, ID issues, renal failure etc.
very happy with this purchase
