From the reviews: “This is the latest volume in an annual collection of review presentations in critical care medicine. … Practitioners and senior trainees in critical care medicine are an appropriate audience for this work. … Chapters contain a reference list of 10 to 30 citations. … This is a worthwhile update for … practitioners in intensive care medicine. … Use of faculty from an international critical care conference supports overall strength of this work.” (David J. Dries, Doody’s Review Service, July, 2010)
