`Review from previous edition The book will act as an excellent
base for nurses in ICU, and provide an updated review of research
based practice for nurses already familiar with the discipline. The
book is well referenced, and is an excellent textbook for newcomers
to the ITU environment as well as experienced practitioners.'

Care Nursing in the British health care system. It is written in a
constructive and meaningful way, that reflects the real, and more
importantly, the relevant problems and issues experienced whilst
nursing the critically ill patient in intensive care... This is an
excellent book written from the bedside by credible authors who are
obviously experienced in intensive care nursing...
practical, easy to understand and more importantly describes the
real issues within the intensive care environment... This book is
recommended for all nurses working in intensive care. It meets the
theoretical and,
more significantly, the clinical needs of staff whether experienced
or not and it would be useful to all those undertaking a post
registration course in intensive care nursing.'
