Rezensionen / Stimmen
'This book succeeds in lowering the hurdle of professional exams, making it more likely to be cleared at a first attempt. It covers the curriculum in an easy-to-read format, providing the important facts along with key references for more detail and is easy to dip into in spare moments. Our specialty admits patients from every other specialty in the hospital, we can seem jacks of all trades and masters of none; a strength of this volume is many authors are single organ specialists distilling their knowledge of complex conditions into accessible and clinically useful information. Aimed mainly at doctors taking the FFICM exam this book will be useful for all trainees undertaking an attachment to critical care as well as ACCPs and other Allied Health Professionals and nurses. It is a book deserving of its space on the unit bookshelf.' Anna Batchelor, Clinical Lead, Getting It Right First Tome (GIRFT), Past Dean FICM and President of ICS 'The comprehensive range of topics contained within the book is commendable, and it offers an executive summary of the epidemiology, pathology, and physiology of acute illness and a targeted approach to the management of such organ system pathology. These summaries are succinct and extremely accessible, making for easy reading. ... The book provides subject material that is truly reflective of the holistic range of skills, knowledge, and presentations that the intensivist must be equipped to manage. ... the authors are to be commended in including a chapter on the COVID-19 pandemic ... the knowledge contained within the book is directly applicable to both the [FFICM] examination and to functioning as an effective intensivist.' Dom Aldridge, Chris Shaw and Malachy Columb, British Journal of Anaesthesia 'This book is a tightly organized tool that will be of use to trainees at all levels of sophistication. Its value is enhanced by the broad scope of topics discussed and the obvious writing expertise of a senior author group. Line drawings and radiographs are carefully selected to reflect pathology discussed in the presentations. Tables are also effectively used to identify listed information. For extensive detail in anatomy and clinical physiology relative to problems discussed, a larger text may be helpful. This volume, however, will rapidly move younger providers forward in rapid diagnosis and initiation of effective therapy for critically ill patients.' David James Dries, Doody's Reviews
