The Little ICU Book by Paul L. Marino and Kenneth M. Sutin

Critical Care Medicine, 01-JUL-09, Volume 37, Issue 7, Edward E. Conway, Jr., MD, MS, FCCM, Pediatric Critical Care Medicine, Beth Israel Medical Center, New York, NY -- "This book is anything but just a book of facts and formulas. It is a wonderful pocket-sized 781-page delight that covers the basics of critical care pathophysiology and disease recognition and management in an easy to read, exceedingly well-illustrated text "I am hopeful that the title will not deter readers from adding this invaluable resource to their intensive care unit library because it is so much more than a book on facts and formulas. It is an excellent pocket-sized resource and should be required reading for all students, residents, fellows, and nurses who care for patients in intensive care units. It is an absolute bargainand should be in everyone's lab coat pocket and should be available in every unit for frequent usage. Clearly the old adage that 'good things come in small packages' was meant to describe this book."-Critical Care Medicine

Owner Reviews, Ratings, Comments and Criticism
Since I am currently working in the ICU setting this book is like a mini bible. One should get the original version if they want to get into the details of physiology, but for a quick look the abridged version is a god sent!
