Rezensionen

From the book reviews:
"The purpose is to provide a comprehensive overview of the science and practice of caring for critically ill children. The audience includes senior trainees and practitioners. ... the book draws relevant comparisons to adult critical care practice. Thus, intensivists caring for patients at all ages will find this work relevant. I highly commend the editors and authors of this magnificent work and recommend its inclusion in the libraries of committed institutions or senior practitioners in the field." (David J. Dries, Doody's Book Reviews, September, 2014)
