About this book
This book provides learners with a unique opportunity by virtue of the format outlined above. Each case presentation has a case vignette, which leads up to an important clinical question, and is followed by additional discussion which resolves the question posed. This is a new way to present knowledge in a medical book and should help critical care practitioners, fellows, residents, allied health professionals and students expand their critical care knowledge in an efficient and effective manner. This approach should also benefit those preparing for board examinations.
Reviews
“Evidence-Based Critical Care: A Case Study Approach is an invaluable source of knowledge and reference for anesthesiologists and perioperative physicians. This textbook is a well-written, easy-to-understand reference that covers a broad range of critical care topics organized according to syndrome or diagnosis. ... Clinicians in training will benefit from the entirety of the chapters, whereas attending physicians may find the greatest value in the evidence portions.” (Warren Luksun and Marcin Wąsowicz, Anesthesia & Analgesia, Vol. 126 (4), April, 2018)
