Critical-Care Books

This paperback presents a multitude of clinical facts and figures from pediatric emergency medicine in a Q&A format that reads quickly for a busy clinician, house officer, or medical student. It will be helpful to those asking the questions as well as those who answer them. The book is divided into over 60 chapters with a well documented index, and references at the end of each chapter. This book will become a favorite to teachers and students at all levels of experience, and should be available wherever children are seen in an emergent/urgent setting.

Excellent book for undergraduate physiotherapy students. Covers everything you would need to know about Cardiorespiratory physiotherapy. Highly recommended for students doing clinical training.

I received this book as part of a purchase of a larger textbook. I've only read parts of the textbook, but have the entire text of the companion book several times. This book provides the most pertinent overview of several disease processes in the intensive care setting. I feel this book did a better job of preparing me for working ICU as an RN than any other text. It also figured heavily in my receiving some ofthe highest scores on the CCRN exam. I've loaned this book to many novice ICU RNs and have received similar reviews.

Starting an EP Lab?? Defining standards of care?? Orienting new EP personnel?? Here is a practical, concise review of what we do and what we need to do in EP. Illustrations are simplified and easily read.

The number of papers published in health sciences journals, even within a single specialty far exceeds any reader's ability to keep up. Worse still is that a majority of the published papers are not worthy of having any impact on one's approach to patient care. Crombie's book cannot help one solve the first problem but it is a great asset in solving the second, determining if a paper should have an impact on the way one practices. The book presents in an easy to read style what crucial questions need to be answered to determine if a published study provides valid information from which to make clinical decisions. There are check lists for all the major clinical research methodologies. I highly recommend this book for students in the health sciences and for practitioners who may need to brush up on their skills of critical appraisal of the published literature.

If you believe we can make a difference in the world, please read this book and any other book by Michel Odent. He is knowledge enlighter, a mind broader. As a surgeon he proved we can humanize birth, as a scientist and a philosopher he is proving we can pave the way to a better humanitary civilization through love, in many levels.

WRITTEN NICELY ON HEMODYNAMICS, AND TRIED TO COVER SOME OF THE ICU PROBLEMS

Just one chapter in this book made it worth the price: Laryngeal Mask Airways. Thanks to Drs. Finucane and Santora for helping me get back to work.

This is the best book I've ever found about critical care nursing. Very good for learning and a reference at work. I have the second edition at home but this one is much complete and better.

This book, 12-Lead ECG interpretation, Was very usefull to me with easy to read and uderstand text and many examples. The most interesting chapter is the "differential diagnosis" where every example has its diagnostic step by step.

Great book!!
