One of the best and comprehensive works on all aspects of critical care. Just one suggestion to publishers. Why not have a totally paperless edition, online or otherwise. Easier to search, doesn't weigh 6kg and today's way of doing things.

The Bible of ICU medicine, I have read 3 editions and each is better than the prior. It also is extremely useful in studying for the boards.

This is a very large compendium on critical care medicine. I had wished that it included a CD containing the text, but instead there is a login to the site which has all this and more. The information given is useful and very extensive. At times it appears a little too cookbooky for me, but I suppose that this is unavoidable unless they were to create an encyclopedic work. Sometimes, cookbook answers are what you are looking for. I found it useful in my preparation for recertification in critical care. I am glad I will not have to lug it around, though, and can use the website.

Very good one. Every intensivist must own it. Well explained, clear, I have found many answers inside.
