My favorite

This book is rare because it is original. It welcomes you to the real world of critical care as seen by one expert physician. It was probably never intended for quick reference or board prep. The relatively large print and generous spacing make the book bigger but more pleasant to read.

Bang for the Buck!

I remember when the first edition came out....everyone raved! THe second addition is even more chock-full of the important stuff! A very portable reference book that you will not be disappointed in!

icu book

the book has excellent summaries of pathophys behind what we see/diagnose/measure/do in the icu. the book does have significant drawbacks, though, namely that it is highly biased towards the author's occasionally contraversial opinions. my attendings (all critical care experts) have debated some of his recommendations. also, with the most recent version published in 1997 (and knowing that the acutal revisions were probably done a year or so before that) the book is 5 years behind the times.

in summary, good book for basics, for understanding how and why, for explanations of procedures and basic protocol. be wary of marino's unusual recommendations. be aware of more current recommendations. use other references as well for broader picture.

A must be

Along with Bojar's,this book is a must be for all ICU physicians,residents,nurses,students. It is comprehensive,easy to understand (with a fluent,simple English for those who speak English as a foreign language-like me).I've not given 5 stars,because maybe it would be a little thinner!

Good, but First Edition Better

Good book for the fundamentals and the physiology behind the patient care. As a critical care MD, I learned alot form the book during my training, however like another reviewer, I found this edition too long. The first edition (much shorter, and the one I learned from and want back) is much better and about half the pages.
