This is the first pocket reference ever published in this area. It offers easy access to the clinical data which is so critical in therapeutic decision-making. Further, it contains comprehensive studies in daily ICU management, mechanical ventilation, superventricular and ventricular arrhythmias, and aspiration syndromes. Also included is analysis of the treatment strategies presented by organ systems, and coverage of miscellaneous ICU topics.

This is the first bedside pocket reference ever published in evidence-based Critical Care Medicine. It is designed to act as a complement to and precede the forthcoming, larger shelf reference by Zaloga and Marik on Evidence-Based Critical Care Medicine. Its purpose will be to provide easy access to clinical data which is crucial in therapeutic decision-making. This approach will enable the clinician to quickly review the information which will support or refute an intervention and choose the most appropriate, cost-effective treatment. The analysis of treatment strategies will be presented by organ-systems, and there will be miscellaneous ICU topics (eg: severity of illness scoring systems, nutrition, toxicology, infection) covered. The selection of these topics will be based on the most frequently found and difficult to solve problems in ICU patient management.
