Excellent for both trainees and consultants - From the First edition Aimed primarily at surgeons involved in the management of critically ill surgical patients. It approaches each organ system tackling normal physiology followed by the abnormal pathophysiological process involved, and the role of examination, investigations, monitoring and surgical interventions. It does not claim to provide a comprehensive review of all available treatment options but directs the reader to an extensive bibliography at the end of the book. But in understanding the principles behind the management of critically ill patients, it succeeds admirably.
