 - Good but but outdated.I used this for my 5 MICU month rotations. It was useful but a lot of the material is dated. Early Goal Directed Therapy is not in here and the pressor we use at our facility are not dicussed in great detail here. I actually found it more helpful for my cardiac critical care rotations. Rating:  - Good reference bookVery thoroughly written. Some sections come in very handy during SICU rotations. The concepts are explained in a plain easy to read format. Rating:  - Excelent bookAn excellent consult's material for all physicians, not just for critical care doctors,i work in ER and have found an important knowledgement source for my area. I recommend this book. Oscar Reyes-Lopez, MD Rating: - Indispensible for any critical care practitionerSimply stated, this is THE book for critical care medicine. A unified overview of critical care is presented in a succinct manner. Difficult physiological concepts are broken down into simple concepts. I would argue that this text is mandatory reading for any physician, not just intensivists. Critiques about Dr. Marino's "controversial" views are simply unfounded--the book is exceptionally well-referenced. I have never purchased a medical text with as much value. Dr. Marino's website is a nice bonus--it's free and you can link to references very quickly. Rating: - don't touch marino txtgood txt, but probably overstimated. it's a book for fellowship study. good recall to phisiopat. to big to stay in a poket to small to be an in depth work. sorry but a lot of txt book of the same carature are more concise, incisive and evidence based written.(bongard,wash.manual) anyway, sensate comments are wellcome (even non sense, too) In association with Amazon.com | |
