Ideal for quick reference at the bedside, The Little ICU Book is a smaller, condensed, compact, and portable version of The ICU Book, Third Edition . Most of the chapters in the larger book have been retained in the little book, but each chapter has been completely rewritten to include only the most essential information. The content is presented in outline format for easy access, and the book is densely packed with facts and formulas that represent the essentials of patient care in the adult ICU.

Rezensionen / Stimmen
Critical Care Medicine, 01-JUL-09, Volume 37, Issue 7, Edward E. Conway, Jr., MD, MS, FCCM, Pediatric Critical Care Medicine, Beth Israel Medical Center, New York, NY -- "This book is anything but just a book of facts and formulas. It is a wonderful pocket-sized 781-page delight that covers the basics of critical care pathophysiology and disease recognition and management in an easy to read, exceedingly well-illustrated text... "I am hopeful that the title will not deter readers from adding this invaluable resource to their intensive care unit library because it is so much more than a book on facts and formulas. It is an excellent pocket-sized resource and should be required reading for all students, residents, fellows, and nurses who care for patients in intensive care units. It is an absolute bargain...and should be in everyone's lab coat pocket and should be available in every unit for frequent usage. Clearly the old adage that 'good things come in small packages' was meant to describe this book."-Critical Care Medicine
