User’s Reviews

It provides a concise overview of the fundamental aspects and management strategies for critically ill patients using pathophysiological examinations of the most common problems encountered. Students, residents, and practitioners caring for critically ill patients are an appropriate audience for this book. The chapters are divided into two basic categories: general concepts/techniques/methods commonly used in ICU management and specific critical emergencies/crises encountered in medical/surgical ICU patients. There are detailed summaries of the physiological basis of disease manifestations as well as expert descriptions of technique, pitfalls and technology applications for ventilatory management, transfusion medicine, nutrition, and sedation, among others. Later chapters provide thorough descriptions of potential causes for emergent conditions such as COPD exacerbations, septic shock, drug overdose, burns and trauma, and detail important management steps. There are current descriptions of pharmacology applications with the latest options. The chapters are written in a standardized format and in a similar style (a benefit of only two authors), which makes the book easy to use. Much new information in this edition has greatly enhanced the utility of this book. Each chapter begins with a summary of key points that accurately captures the essence of the material. The full-color tables, figures, images, and descriptions have been thoroughly updated, revised, and expanded, leading to increased readability of the material and increased relevance of this book as a daily resource in the ICU. This book compares favorably with similar student preparatory books for ICU rotations including The Washington Manual of Critical Care, 3rd edition, Kollef et al. (Wolters Kluwer, 2018), Marino’s The ICU, 4th edition, Marino (Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2014) and Critical Care Medicine: Principles of Diagnosis and Management in the Adult, 5th edition, Parrillo and Dellinger (Elsevier, 2019). What this book offers that makes it unique is the combined perspective of a pulmonary intensivist and a surgical intensivist. It offers a solid discussion of the basics and nuances of critical care issues and the implications of surgical disease on the physiology of our sickest patients. This is a must have for rotating senior students and junior residents taking an ICU rotation.” Weighted Numerical Score: 92 – 4 Stars!

⭐ First I would like to say I am an anesthesiologist practicing for 10 years , and critical care represent a big portion of our practice .When I saw 17 reviewers praise the book, I immediately bought it without thinking .Sadly to say , I didn’t like this book at all for 2 reasons1- it is redundant in writing style , sentences are not light , and content of a paragraph is very low yield , this creates boredom and anger , but there is no much fish to catch2- second , sentences are complex some times and its accuracy require investigation . Eg “ small LMA causes airway obstruction “ really ? I never read such words before , and so on. I cannot mention all annoying unclear sentences I read.For example I read a chapter from this book , and same chapter from another book Paul Marino “ Cardiac arrest chapter “ You cannot imagine how informative amusing easy style in Paul Marino compared to this book that is very redundant low yield .To be honest I didn’t read the whole book , but I read enough to sense the book style and content . I will force myself continuing reading , hopefully I can upgrade my evaluation .I have been teaching residents and medical students in the field of anesthesia , and I love knowing about books in all fields. To sum up, and up to the minute of writing , I don’t recommend this book.

⭐ Absolutely great coverage of concepts, treatment/ procedures, and disease processes unique to critical care medicine !! Outstanding book for all critical care personnel.

⭐ This book is really one of a kind–physiology-based, practical, up to date, comprehensive, and educational. Well explained rationales for diagnosis and treatment immensely help understanding and retention. Great mix of core fundamentals and advanced information in Intensive Care.

⭐ Rather nice and updated comprehensive review of critical care.

⭐ The best comprehensive textbook

⭐ Actualización de conocimiento.

⭐ “Critical Care Medicine: The Essentials and More” is really the book every critical care provider needs both as an academic reference and clinical resource. The way the different topics are presented is unique and they all have a very practical approach –something you can’t really find in other resources such as UpToDate. I highly recommend it, no doubt a very good investment!

⭐ Spedizione estremamente rapida, arrivo del pacco in largo anticipo rispetto alla data prevista. Libro molto utile per ripasso e per un primo approccio alla materia.

⭐ Consegna eccezionale (textbookshub, sia chiaro), libro intelligentissimo.

⭐ Excelente libro
