Reviews

From the reviews:

"As an attempt to provide a broad overview of recent activity in the literature and current therapeutic concepts it is a great success. … This book and indeed this series will appeal to any practitioner … . it represents reasonable value for money. I strongly recommend it as a department library purchase for ICUs and anaesthetic departments which provide ICU services. For intensivists, and anaesthetists … this is a great way to cover a lot of educational ground and is a very worthwhile purchase." (M. Corkeron, Anaesthesia and Intensive Care, Vol. 36 (3), May, 2008)
