Oxford Handbook of Critical Care

Oxford Medical Handbooks

by Mervyn Singer

Of all the medical specialties, few if any are as exacting and complex as critical care medicine. All members of the multidisciplinary team caring for critically ill patients require a sound knowledge of physiology, pathophysiology, biochemistry, technology and pharmacology. The new edition
of this enormously popular Oxford Handbook describes best practice in critical care in a succinct, concise, clinically oriented way. It covers therapeutic and monitoring devices, drugs and fluids, specific organ system disorders and complications, and general management philosophies. Ample space
is provided to append to amend sections to suit local protocols and particular practices. The I xford Handbook of Critical Care will serve consultant, junior doctor, nurse or other paramedical staff as a reference book, aide memoire and handy pocket book providing rationales and solutions to most of
the problems encountered.

I read this book a long time ago when I was still in medical school in 2005-2010 (so most likely its older version). Definitely a must-read textbook for medical students, junior physicians, or medical doctors.
