From the book reviews:
“It presents the multidisciplinary development of the critical care model and a perspective on next steps in the evolution of critical care. Providers at any level are an appropriate audience for this work written by international experts from Western Europe and North America. … This book is important for anyone seeking to understand the process and personnel important to the intensive care unit.” (David J.
