Review:

"It is essential reading for candidates wishing to accredit for training and pass professional examinations in critical care medicine. More importantly this book will benefit all concerned with the management of patients in providing comprehensive critical care and is a must-have for any critical care area."--British Journal of Anaesthesia, 2005

"The short and succinct chapters pack in the essential items of knowledge. Each area covered gives both theoretical basis, but also the practical ways of treating the condition being described and the evidence basis for doing so."
