Handbook of Critical Care

This book is intended to provide portable, readily available reference material. It is not encyclopedic. The companion text and other reference sources serve that role. It is, more than ever, clinical in approach, leaving the basic science and extensive background for leisurely reading on a cold, dark night in front of a roaring fire.
