About this book
Reviews
“This summarized literature will continue to serve as a solid foundation and useful reference upon which to build in future. Specialists from areas of medicine that care for patients with critical illness will enjoy this book, especially those working in the intensive care unit. Experienced physicians will be comfortable with much of the subject matter and familiar with the landmark trails. … provides useful clinical summaries and practical application points that even physicians well versed in the literature will appreciate.” (Carmen Hrymak, Canadian Journal of Anesthesia, Journal canadien d'anesthésie, October, 2015)
“This is essentially a monograph of 15 evidence-based interventions that affect mortality in critical care patients. The book is the result of what the authors describe as a democracy-based consensus conference. It uses evidence-based medicine techniques to discuss seven interventions that reduce mortality and eight interventions that increase mortality. … The audience is critical care practitioners regardless of training background. The book also will be of value to medical students, residents, and fellows.” (Jeremy Scott Juern, Doody's Book Reviews, September, 2015)
