Críticas:

'The A-Z section provides concise information on each drug including indications, administration directions and adverse effects. I particularly like the 'how not to use' a drug which reminds me of some of the important things to avoid when a certain drug is used. the second section has concise descriptions ... there is a lot of useful information in this book that is not readily available in some bigger textbooks ... [the book] is value for money and will be invaluable to all ICU medical and nursing staff working in the intensive care unit.' Anaesethesia and Intensive Care
