I bought this book as an aid to studying during my critical care course in the UK. I found this book invaluable and would highly recommend it to anyone working in critical care environment.
Although I think it would be of most benefit to someone working in a general ITU there are many chapters covering a wide range of topics such as cardiac, renal and chapters such as head injuries which can be applied to A&E. The book covers the A&P/science of body systems as well as research based subjects like ITU delirium/psychosis, transferring patients and allocation of critical resources to name a few.
The second edition appears in a two-tone colour (red or black) and the multiple boxes, highlighting important information makes it far easier to read than the original black and white first edition. As an ITU nurse I felt the book gave me in-depth and current/evidence based information to underpin and inform my practise, whilst directing me to the primary references and areas for further reading. I started using the book when I first joined ITU and I’m still using the book now 3 years later – as are many of my colleagues. So if you only buy one critical care book I recommend this one – but have a look at the library/unit copy first, to see if its for you.

Bought this book few months ago and now that I went through the most of it I can finally give an honest review. This book is very well written and explain in detail the anatomy and physiology of every apparate correlating them with AICU enviroment and devices. Very easy to follow and understand can support your studyes quite well on a University Master level. The price is very good too copared with the information that it offers.
