 2009-01-06 - great basic book
This is a great book to review the basic physiology pertinent to the ICU as well as an introduction to ventilators. However, be careful about making management decisions based on the book because it can be out of date in that regard.
 2009-01-04 - Great Book
Best Critical Care book I have read. This an enjoyable, very informative and easy to read book.
2008-10-30 - A GOOD ICU REVIEW BOOK
The ICU Book is a selective (but fairly comprehensive) review of ICU topics from largely one doctor's perspective. (The 2007 edition has "contributions" from a second doctor.) That it's written by one person keeps a consistency in style but there are several controversial points raised where it's hard to tell whether this is now hard-science proven standard of care or the author's preference. There are many typographical errors (including drug dosages) and most of the references are from the 1990's and earlier; few references are after 2000.
All in all, it's a well written basic review of ICU topics but should be read knowing this is one person's approach to care. It's a good starter for residents and a good review book for the Critical Care boards.
2008-06-19 - the reference
Better concise book doesn't exist. You can read it in 1 week! well illustrated. It offers the essentials you need to understand to be familiar with the disease's physiopathology you're confronted with in the ICU.
to be red and red again.
If you're looking for a more exhaustive book, buy the Parrillo's!
