General Critical Care

SELF-ASSESSMENT COLOUR REVIEWS IN MEDICINE: Each book covers a specialist area of medicine and the format enables the reader to consider a problem fully and then devise a solution. This review covers all medical and surgical aspects of general critical care from basic science to techniques in the intensive care unit. Cases deal with anaesthesia, intensive care, trauma, general surgery and post-operative management. The cases appear in random order, just as they would in practice, and they challenge the reader to think through a problem and devise a solution. Each problem is followed by a full explanation designed to educate not just to test the reader. The book appeals to senior medical students and to critical/intensive care specialists and surgeons in training. An ideal book for revision in critical care for those doing MRCS/FRCS ... this is an excellent addition to the critical care market. Hospital Doctor ... a great help to practitioners of intensive care medicine... a worthwhile text that can easily be dipped into. British Journal of Anaesthesia ...an excellent book, which although aimed at the medical profession would be well-used by nurses in a variety of disciplines... will also function as an easily accessible reference source.
