Review
Respiratory Care, 01-MAR-05, Volume 50, Issue 3, Justin L. Ranes, MD, Department of Pulmonary, Allergy, and Critical Care Medicine, Cleveland Clinic Foundation, Cleveland, OH --
ICU Recall, 2nd edition...lives up to the precedent set by its predecessors by providing clear, logical explanations to many issues that are often confusing for those new to the ICU style of care....The book has great discussions of the ICU basics, and it would certainly help lay a good foundation on which more detailed understanding could be built. Everything the ICU novice needs to get started is contained in this book, and it is laid out in a readable, understandable fashion."Respiratory Care
