Abstract
In general, textbooks in medicine that try to cover all areas of a specialty are either huge volume editions, which therefore serve as a reference whenever there is enough time for a thorough search, or they present as pocket books that help to quickly decide when peer assistance is not readily available. Although Current Critical Care Diagnosis & Treatment with its 945 pages certainly is somewhat inconvenient for becoming a ‘pocket book’ in the narrower sense of the word, its organization invites students, house officers, fellows or those preparing examinations to have it on their bookshelf and to look at it both when time is available as well as when rapid decision-making is mandatory.
Highlights
The book does not cover pediatric critical care nor does it provide bedside technical procedure, nursing and administrative chapters
