Additional text
A lot of time and effort went into the first edition of this book. I am bamboozled by the high-end contributor list and the end result of all of their hard work under Arora / Laha, to produce an even better second edition! I cannot emphasise enough just how useful this is as a text for senior ITU physicians, for our juniors, our nursing staff and AHP’s. I suggest if you have the time, go down tom the local, yes, book shop (they exist), and pick up a copy.
