Rezensionen

From the reviews:
"A pocket guide to common critical care formulas and data that was first produced some 10 years ago. ... Critical care practitioners at all levels are an appropriate audience for this work originating with two senior intensivists in the United States. ... This is a quick pocket reference for acute care practitioners to use at the bedside or on rounds." (David J. Dries, Doody's Book Reviews, December, 2013)
