Summary

Ideal for any medic or health professional embarking upon an intensive care rotation or specialism, this simple bedside handbook provides handy, pragmatic guidance to the day-to-day fundamentals of working in an intensive care unit, often a daunting prospect for the junior doctor, nurse and allied health professional encountering this challenging environment for the first time.

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.
