”... 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*
