All the information you may need, just hard to work through by Julie A. Rizzo  3 Stars
November 24, 2009
This book has excellent basic principles/formulas outlined for the critical care world. However, it is not well-written, it is a very difficult read and the references at the end of the chapters are not the most helpful ones. If you can get through this book though, you should be able to know a good bit of intensive care medicine (both on the medical and surgical side). There are better reads for critical care out there though!

Highly Readable by Blusuede (NYC, NY USA)  5 Stars
October 27, 2009
What marks this book apart from peers in its field is its readable nature. Believe it or not -- and I was surprised myself by this -- I virtually finished this 1000 page behemoth off in a week's intensive reading. I have never done that with any textbook on any subject. Marino brings his subject matter down to earth and uses wit and style to cut through jargon that marks most other ICU texts. Notably, I think this book should be read by generalists in internal medicine as well as ICU specialists as its clinical pearls and at times iconoclastic views of matters are needed in all medical wards, not just in critical care units.

very helpful in the ICU by ladycaterina (New York, NY) 5 Stars
September 13, 2009
Definitely THE book to get for the ICU. It helped me tremendously. And it's not just guidelines, it tells you the pertinent studies, has great graphs, etc. The only problem is that the book is pretty massive; it's tough to carry it around with you.
