Ever walked into an ICU round feeling like you're one step behind the team? That knot in your stomach when the attending fires off questions about hemodynamics or ventilator settings? This ICU Survival Book is your secret weapon—a no-fluff reference that gets you up to speed fast.
Unlike those brick-thick textbooks gathering dust in the lounge, this paperback is made for real-world use. Flip to any section during a quick workroom huddle or right at the bedside. It's organized by systems, mirroring how rounds actually go, so you spend less time searching and more time learning what matters.
Each chapter ends with a roundup of what your attending expects you to know, plus the must-understand ideas to survive the shift.
Dr. William Owens, the mind behind the bestselling The Ventilator Book, brings his knack for simplifying complex critical care topics. Learners worldwide swear by his approach—clear explanations that stick, even after a 12-hour shift.
Picture this: You're presenting a septic patient, and questions fly about vasopressors. Pull out the book, scan the page, and respond with poise.
