deteriorating content after the 6th edition and beyond
I have been fully trained in pulmonary disease and critical care in Europe and in USA as well ,double fellowships thanks to the american superiority complex . This textbook used to be the prime textbook of critical care .In its glory days 3-5th edition used to be ~2200 pages .Now its numbering merely 1400 pages .Please explain to me how can that be ,when knowledge has increased . I am afraid the root causes are the sad state of affairs of the american academia today ,compared to the extinct intellectual giants of a bygone era in Americal Medicine I am very fond of .Should be renamed as manual and not textbook .

My favourite Critical care book
I am a pulmonary critical care physician and use this book often. I have the seventh edition and liked the way it was written. I am just started reading it but i feel that it is a detailed book with some added concepts and new chapters including more detailed discussion on ARDS, ECMO, multidisciplinary approach in critical care. I love the e BOOK that comes with the book and you have a lot of videos including very common ICU procedures. Love this resource. It is amazing. This is a must have for any physician with work related to the ICU including ciritical care physicians and other specialities like cardiology, nephrology, infectious disease etc. I highly recommend it.

This textbook is a treasure
Simply said, this is the bible of Intensive care and that's that. I'm happy to finally have it in my library. My problem (once again) is with amazon shipping. The book was just thrown in a cardboard box with no padding and no protection whatsoever, so it arrived beat up. It is a shame seeing a masterpiece being disrespected this way!

Caposaldo per la formazione in terapia intensiva
Questo libro di terapia intensiva è un riferimento fondamentale per chiunque lavori e sottolineo lavori (o studi nell’ambito della terapia intensiva durante la specialità e intenda appunto seguire questo percorso). I contenuti sono organizzati in modo chiaro e dettagliato, con aggiornamenti sulle più recenti linee guida e protocolli. Ogni capitolo affronta gli aspetti pratici della gestione del paziente critico, includendo casi clinici, schemi riassuntivi e consigli utili per l’attività clinica. Molto utili le tabelle riassuntive, che facilitano l’apprendimento anche dei concetti più complessi. Lo consiglio vivamente a chi desidera approfondire le proprie conoscenze o prepararsi al meglio per la pratica clinica in terapia intensiva, si può affermare che sia IL manuale di riferimento, in quanto più completo di altri manuali più brevi come il marino, da usare appunto come perno su cui apprendere le nozioni base e avanzate della terapia intensiva, tenendo conto che per quanto aggiornatissimo, alcuni argomenti vanno studiati e rivisti direttamente dalle review
