Product Description
This best-selling resource provides a general overview and basic information for all adult intensive care units. The material is presented in a brief and quick-access format which allows for topic and exam review. It provides enough detailed and specific information to address most all questions and problems that arise in the ICU. Emphasis on fundamental principles in the text should prove useful for patient care outside the ICU as well. New chapters in this edition include hyperthermia and hypothermia syndromes; infection control in the ICU; and severe airflow obstruction. Sections have been reorganized and consolidated when appropriate to reinforce concepts. Purchase of The ICU Book, Third Edition gives you free access to a Website featuring links from references to PubMed, updated regularly; and a directory of Websites handpicked by Dr. Marino.

5 out of 5 stars Highly Readable   October 27, 2009
Blusuede (NYC, NY USA)
1 out of 1 found this review helpful

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.


5 out of 5 stars The ICU book review   October 21, 2009
Michael G. Abraham (Milwaukee, WI)
This book has been very helpful. It is very thorough and explains things very nicely. Would recommend it to any intern, resident, or fellow working in an ICU setting.

5 out of 5 stars very helpful in the ICU   September 13, 2009
ladycaterina (New York, NY)
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.


5 out of 5 stars New RN user   August 4, 2009
S. Eberhart
My husband bought this book to help him with his new RN position in the ICU. He was a respiratory therapist for 13 years before becomming an RN, so he already had some medical knowledge. He read this book front to back and still uses it for reference. He said that it is a detailed book, but since he works in a small ICU, the doctors really depend on him to know his stuff. Remember, be nice to your nurse, they keep the doctors from killing you. (Just kidding Dr. T)
