A new multimedia e-dtion package includes the book and CD-ROM as well
as access to the entire contents of the book online. The website is
continuously updated, and offers links to important websites,
calculators, the full text online, and all the illustrations--
downloadable for presentations. A completely new editorial team
presents the radical revision to this leading critical care text,
previously edited by Shoemaker et al. Today's best coverage of both
adult and pediatric critical care, with contributions from an
impressive roster of world experts. In addition to numerous new
chapters and many extensively rewritten ones, it features a
completely new section on commonly encountered problems and a new,
more user-friendly organization. The CD-ROM, bound into every copy,
contains extended references plus all the illustrations.
