Oxford Handbook of Critical Care cover

The fully revised, third edition of this bestselling Handbook describes best practice of critical care in a succinct, concise and clinically-orientated way. Covering the principles of general management, it includes therapeutic and monitoring devices, specific disorders of organ systems, as well as detailed information on drugs and fluids. New material has been added on key areas such as airway maintenance, dressing techniques, infection control, echocardiography, tissue perfusion monitoring, coma and more. With up-to-date references and invaluable clinical advice, there is also plenty of space to add notes or amend sections to suit local protocols. Patient-centred and practical, it will serve the consultant, trainee, nurse or other allied health professionals as both a reference and aide memoir. This is the indispensable Oxford Handbook for all those working within critical care.

I would struggle to find a weakness. I think the strengths really are the simplicity and the structure... having all the relevant information from a multitude of clinical presentations in one place... the book certainly delivers what it is intended for. * Nursing Times *
Every ICU should have at least one copy. I think all junior doctors who work on ICU will benefit from owning a copy. * British Journal of Anaesthesia *
