Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - It's the best critical care quick reference available.
What can I say? The other reviewers have said it all. Anything that I wrote would be simply reiterating what has already been said. This book is thorough, concise, easy to read and reference, and covers all the body systems pertinent to critical care interventions. It should be considered a mandatory addition to any serious critical care nurse's library.
