Available To Downloads

This pocket book succinctly describes 318 errors commonly made by attendings, residents, interns, nurses, and nurse-anesthetists in the intensive care unit, and gives practical, easy-to-remember tips for avoiding these errors. The book can easily be read immediately before the start of a rotation or used for quick reference on call. Each error is described in a short, clinically relevant vignette, followed by a list of things that should always or never be done in that context and tips on how to avoid or ameliorate problems. Coverage includes all areas of ICU practice except the pediatric intensive care unit.

Quick and easy reference. Overall organization is by systems. The authors then set up each of these sections into chapters based on nice "clinical vignettes" or clinical "issues." Have purchased several for reference to have in both ICUs that I staff and one in my office for ICU residents and senior medical students to borrow for their rotations.

I found this book very helpful in my care of critically ill patients. The content is very readable and targets the key issues needed by a critical care provider be they a student, resident, fellow or attending. I highly recommend this book. Outstanding!

I love the short chapters and great explanations. This has come in very handy with my work as an ICU nurse. I think it would also be beneficial to residents or pharmacists in the ICU.

Muchas gracias es un buen libro me ayudo bastante. Espero seguir encontrando libros como este. Gracias nuevamente.Avisar cuando tengan libros similares.

random icu facts. hard to remember information as its just little chunks of non connected information. Well written, but not for me.
