Editorial Reviews

‘A good overview of many of our encountered 'bread-and-butter' emergency topics.’ Alex Y. Koo, Annals of Emergency Medicine

From the Publisher

Reviewer: Maria Kristine Goertz, MD (Regions Hospital)
Description: This book provides high-yield information on the management of critically ill patients using a bullet-point format.
Purpose: The purpose is to provide a quick reference guide for the stabilization of acutely ill patients. The authors believe that this book fills a niche because of its evidence-based overviews of the stabilization of patients..
Audience: It is meant to be useful for medical students and junior residents who are involved in the stabilization of critically ill patients, but it is also useful to those more experienced as a quick review of the information. The editors are very experienced in the care of acutely ill patients. There are also many contributors, including resident physicians.
Features: This book covers many of the diseases that are common in critically ill patients. It starts by discussing general topics of critical care such as shock and airway management. The 12 sections are organ-system based, usually with several chapters in each discussing different injuries or diseases. The book is intended to highlight key concepts, management, and treatment for acutely ill patients which it does in a bullet-point format. Useful tables and figures appear throughout the book, but everything is in black and white.
Assessment: Overall, this is worth having on the bookshelf as a quick guide to relevant critical care topics that are seen daily in a busy emergency department or critical care unit. This book does not treat topics in depth, but does provide a good basic knowledge base. It is easy to read because of its bullet-point format and short chapters. At the end of many of the chapters there is a brief discussion of what happens when a patient suddenly deteriorates, which is very useful. In addition, many of the chapters mention the vasopressor of choice.
