Drs. Gladwin and Donahoe did a fantastic job of writing a concise, yet comprehensive and easy to read critical care medicine book. Knowing this book cover-to-cover is all one needs to master the ICU and ace the critical care boards. Chapter 7 (hemodynamic monitoring) provides a very good explanation of the hemodynamic monitoring waveforms displayed on an ICU monitor. Chapter 12 is an extremely helpful resource about airway management in the ICU. Chapters 14, 15, 17 break down mechanical ventilation and explain in a very simple way complex concepts such as the different breath types, modes, weaning from the ventilator and the mechanics of respiratory failure. The latter is done by the use of the equation of motion in a very easy to memorize way. The book is complete with chapters on GI bleed, hematologic emergencies, neurologic emergencies, acid-base disorders, renal emergencies and toxicology. These chapters can be very helpful not only for ICU physicians, but also for consultants offering recommendations in treating critically ill patients. A MUST READ for every doctor working in an ICU!

The characters in this book felt like old friends, and I was sad to say goodbye to them at the end. It's a testament to the author's talent for creating memorable and relatable personas.
