Critical care medicine is one of the fastest-growing areas of practice, and Critical Care Study Guide, 1st ed,, was the first reference to combine both concise text and reviews with questions. The second edition expands and improves coverage, including comprehensive studies in airway management, cardioversion and defibrillation, medical ethics, and the use of blood products. The unique combination of text with questions and answers makes this a crucial reference for all practitioners and residents who see patients in the Intensive Care Unit, and those planning to sit for medical boards.
