Principles of Adult Surgical Critical Care

“This multiauthored, comprehensive book focuses on surgical patients requiring critical care services. Common problems requiring surgical critical care and complications which may require the input of a surgical intensivist are described, along with procedures commonly performed in the SICU. Trainees at all stages, from students to fellows of acute care surgery, or in disciplines providing care to the surgical patient are an appropriate audience. … Chapters are concise and clearly written.” (David Dries, Doody's Book Reviews, March, 2017)
