Reading is easy. To the point. Helped overall understanding of patho physiology.
Robin Hester –
Very informative, without too much unnecessary details that could discourage the reader as deep internal medicine background is required. Also I like the good explanation and management of conditions encountered more frequently in ICU. In other words the writers know when to give more explanation and when to give a short one.

Excellent read, easy read, straightforward. Doesn’t expand too much on physiology but than again if your a resident, fellow or attending you should probably know it already and easily recall the topics from med school
James J. –
I have found this text to be an excellent overview of critical care management. This is the right book for you if you found that the other usually recommended books for ICU care were lacking in depth and comprehensiveness. Great resource for medical or surgical critical care physicians!
