Chapters are eight to 20 pages in length and make good use of line drawings and tables that reproduce well and have excellent teaching value. ... This excellent contemporary series of presentations summarizes much of the latest work and critical thinking in multidisciplinary intensive care. ... an excellent introduction for interested practitioners or a topic summary for senior practitioners seeking a review."
