A complete vision of Critical Care Medicine

The book has a very interesting review of the princicipal topics of Critical Care Medicine. The chapters of Trauma,are very important for the knowledge of the medical team. The part of phisiopatology is the key in the understanding the principal problems of a patient critical ill. Chapter of IMAGIN is the basis of others parts of the book , in spite of the fact that , if we are able to evaluate the information of rx, all type of scans, we give a good patient care . The information about de manegement of childs is very interesting.
