The management of critically ill patients not only involves a bedside clinical assessment, but also a thorough daily review of investigations and monitoring. A detailed knowledge and understanding of data are an important part of training and practice in the day-to-day management of patients in intensive care.

This book will play a useful role in the education of trainees, providing a source of real clinical data, with questions and answers, enabling them to test and develop their interpretation skills.

Key Features

Answers with explanations follow each question, providing instant access to the correct interpretation and additional information to enhance the readers understanding.
Important review for anesthesia and critical care personnel who need to know this information for practice or for exams.

Aimed at junior trainees, focusing on problems in the ICU and their management.
This proposal from Venkatesh has more emphasis on data interpretation rather than patient management, and is aimed at the more senior trainee, with a wider appeal beyond the ICU. The author team have reviewed Corke's book and feel that although it is conceptually similar, there are significant differences.
