Critical Care Secrets
I am a critical care pharmacist and bought this to see if anything useful for reference, teaching. I didn't see anything that was beyond a typical textbook approach...but then I didn't keep the book because the print was too small (not as small as Sanford's guide) but too much trouble to try to read. I think the ICU book by Marino has more pearls and is easy to read.
The best resource I've had in a while.....5
This book is a perfect refresher course. It helps pull the various concepts of critical care together. The concise question-answer format keeps you from having to search through pages and pages to get the answer you want.
