Synopsis: The ICU Survival Book is a guide for residents, students, advanced practice providers, and critical care nurses who want to learn the basics of critical care medicine. This reference is designed to follow the systems-based format that is used during rounds in the intensive care unit. Hemodynamics, respiratory failure, neurocritical care, and massive transfusion protocols are among the topics covered. The ICU Survival Book is not a comprehensive textbook on critical care. It is designed to be a tool to be used at the bedside, between patients, and in the workroom. Each section has a list of things you'll be expected to know on rounds, along with the key concepts you must understand to survive your ICU rotation. The ICU Survival Book is the latest publication from the author of the internationally bestselling The Ventilator Book. Dr. William Owens is known for explaining complex medical subjects in terms that are easy for learners to understand. This book is perfect for trainees, students on clinical rotations, and unit staff.
