This up-to-date text fills the gap for a practical ready-reference for both trainees and practising clinicians which discusses the science underlying respiratory critical care and, more importantly, which relates this to the patient. It provides a review of the major developments in the field over the last decade. The chapters are well-balanced and cover key areas of critical respiratory medicine with commentaries from acknowledged experts in the field.
