About this book

This updated and revised edition of the classic bedside pocket reference remains the gold standard in critical care medicine. The new edition maintains Dr. Marik's trademark humor and engaging writing style, while adding numerous references to make this book the most current and thorough treatment of evidence-based critical care available. The handbook enables the clinician to find the evidence to support or refute an intervention and to help choose the most appropriate, cost-effective treatment. The analysis of treatment strategies is presented by organ system, and the handbook also covers miscellaneous ICU topics (such as sedation, toxicology, radiology, and sepsis) based on the most frequently found and difficult to solve problems in ICU patient management.

Reviews

From the reviews of the second edition:

“This is one of the most comprehensive handbooks on critical care medicine with a strong emphasis on evidence base. … The contents of this handbook cover many aspects of critical care medicine and some of the information is extremely useful for junior medical staff without prior exposure to critical care … . Overall, this book should be useful for junior doctors or intensive care trainees who are starting their term in an intensive care unit.” (K. M. Ho, Anaesthesia and Intensive Care, Vol. 39 (2), March, 2011)
