Product Description

This book captures the generic information of practical significance for anyone functioning in an intensive care unit regardless of its medical or surgical environment. The Second Edition has been thoroughly revised and updated. Seven new chapters have been added for specific clinical coverage of neurologic crises, myocardial infarction, AIDS, and the important problem of post-operative management. Drug-to-drug and drug-to-nutrient interactions are grouped in an appendix by the nature of the interaction (lethal, serious, and minor). The coverage of Clinical Scoring Systems has been expanded. There's also an appendix of Enteral Feeding Formulas which provides specific recipes for the common nutritional packs used in ICU environments. Recommended in the Brandon/Hill list of print books and journals for the small medical library - April 200

5.0 out of 5 stars Clear, concise, to the point, 18 Dec 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.

4.0 out of 5 stars If you want to understand things, get this book!, 22 Jan 2000

By A Customer

I have loved this book for its readability and for the fact that it questions certain practices and is therefore really interesting to read. It's a marvel. Also it illustrates why things are the way they are (e.g. what is fever and why does it NOT make sense to treat it? OR: why is [Hb] a poor indicator of O2-carrying capacity/anaemia). I have the feeling that most other ICU books fail to do exactly this. This book however does not cover trauma and neuro, and it's a US book, so not everything applies in the UK. But really really well written!

5.0 out of 5 stars Mandatory reading for residents and trainees, 6 Aug 2000

By A Customer

After 10 years of ICU/anaesthesia, this is the best single book on the subject that I've seen, certainly for new starters. Fairly cheap, too.

I'll buy the third edition if/when it's out.
