Clinical Intensive Care and Acute Medicine, Second Edition

This book is aimed predominantly at junior medical staff who rotate through intensive care units and is written in the didactic style of a manual rather than a textbook. The ideal characteristics of such a book are: it should be written by recognised experts in the field; it should be clear and concise; it should offer practical advice; it should indicate areas of controversy; it should cover all common conditions and problems; it should offer a simple, systematic approach to problems; it should be up-to-date; it should suggest sources of more detailed information and it should be well indexed.
