the icu book
I don’t know if you all have heard about this but for those medical students, interns or residents who are doing ICU rotations and are looking for a good book to use, a buddy of mine who is a general surgery resident recommended “The ICU Book” by Paul Marino
. Apparently it is supposed to be one of the standard books that is used by residents all over for ICU rotations (MICU or SICU). I’ve read through most of it and found it to be a concise (at 1065 pages I guess that’s concise for what you need to know in the ICU) discussion of clinically relevant topics (with supporting literature) that one needs to know for management of patients in the ICU. There is also a little pocket version
of it that is convenient for carrying around in your white coat.
Anyway, I found this to be really helpful for the ICU as did a number of residents I’ve talked to, so I thought I’d pass it on. God be with you for your ICU rotation.
