An understanding of critical care is vital to the modern surgeon, who is often responsible for patients requiring intensive care or high-dependency support. Key Questions in Surgical Critical Care has been designed as a companion to Surgical Critical Care, by Robert Ashford and Neal Evans, and is split into two main sections, multiple choice questions and viva topics.

Based on the syllabus of the Royal College of Surgeons, each of these two sections is further subdivided into six sub-sections covering the cardiovascular system, the respiratory system, other systems and multisystem failure, problems in intensive care, principles of intensive care and practical procedures. The MCQs and viva topics provided are typical of those appearing in the MRCS examination, and the authors provide detailed explanatory notes to accompany each answer, almost all of which are cross-referenced directly to the relevant pages of Surgical Critical Care, as well as other sources of further reading.
Industry Reviews
This short text is aimed at 'surgical postgraduates and any healthcare professional working in a surgical ITU'. The Authors state that it should be read in conjunction with the sister volume Surgical Critical Care. The book has a section devoted to multiple-choice questions and then a section devoted to possible viva voce questions. Each section is divided systematically and the answers are clear and concise. Answers are cross-referenced to the Surgical Critical Care text. The book competes in a hotly contested part of the market, with many other works of a similar type, and equivalent exercises can be completed on-line. One very much doubts whether it will appeal to anyone other than an MRCS candidate and in that regard the content seems well matched to the published examination syllabus.
