Really, it's comprehensive book:

Really, it's comprehensive book of Critical Care medicine. Sometimes, the text is compressed and hard, but in general this book is actually good.

great book:

I was waiting for a comprehensive book, I found it! Clear and not too simple. It goes to the detailles in many points but always with a practical point of view.
Readers must have a certain medical backgroud to take the best from this book. I highly recommend it for residents with couple of years of experience.
The book is presented in a fully coloured edition, well illustrated even if some of the graphics are quite old (from previous editions I guess).
The only thing that misses, is a CD... more info
