From the reviews of the third edition: “The book describes physiological principles relative to the critical care unit in the context of management plans at the bedside. Senior trainees and practitioners will benefit from this collection written by international authorities and selected by editors of the journal. … All presentations are clearly written and supported by primary literature. … This volume helps to fill an important gap for the bedside practitioner.” (David J. Dries, Doody’s Review Service, November, 2012)
