Your patients are sick, and its up to you to figure out how to manage them. They usually are unstable (that's why they're in the ICU!!!) and tend to have very complex issues. Nowadays, ICU isn't very well taught in medical school and doing an ICU rotation is optional in your 3rd/4th years. Therefore a good text is important in case you need reference to figuring out what is going on. To be honest, I only read maybe 3-4 chapters to this point (you don't have much time when you're taking care of ICU patients) but I really enjoyed the simple way of how everything is written in this book. I've read other critical care texts where it cites a lot of good articles and theories behind things but I think the ICU book puts it in a way that's not overwhelming. That being said, the chapters I've read has left me wanting more. This is a great starter reference book and it does cite all the articles/research that it quotes from so that when you want to do more research on your own, it will be easy for you to find. I definitely enjoy the tables and graphs in this book. I never had the older versions of the book so I can't comment what upgrades have been made in this latest edition but I can definitely say that the text is not overwhelming for a medical student (especially 4th years who have had some internal medicine). I will give this book 5 stars because everyone can read this without getting too confused or overwhelmed but if you are a critical care specialist, this book only grazes the top of specific issues. You will definitely need to hit up Uptodate or scan through the new NEJM critical care series. The paper quality is also good (I hate the new medical textbooks which they print on that cheap recycled paper). In summary: Very good book for the fundamentals of ICU but don't expect immense detail. Review: A valuable resource for the sub/acting-intern or intern in the ICU, with an Ebook FTW - As a fourth year medical student, I needed an ICU resource that was easy to read and always accessible. I started reading the print version at home and the Inkling version on the floor via iPad, but quickly realized that the electronic version was suitable for both. There were times while we were rounding that I found immediate answers or figures to help explain what we were discussing as a team. As far as content, the book is very well written, with just the right level of detail for a third/fourth year student or intern. (I imagine many residents will still appreciate the resource.) The book is also a quick read, so even though it seems quite long, you can power through chapters with ease. Marino conveys strong opinions about where the research meets or differs from practice in the ICU, but I think it is more valuable to know his opinion upfront. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #124,572 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #11 in Anesthesiology (Books) #31 in Critical Care | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (1,896) | | Dimensions | 8.98 x 6.06 x 1.57 inches | | Edition | Fourth, North American | | ISBN-10 | 1451121180 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1451121186 | | Item Weight | 3.05 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 1059 pages | | Publication date | November 5, 2013 | | Publisher | LWW | ## Images ![Marino's The ICU Book: Print - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51I1JT9FmBL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A fast ICU text to read. *by F***E on December 29, 2013* Residents and students can be easily scared in the ICU.

I did ER for my first 2 years so this was a great intro to ICU basics. Medical textbooks usually make me zone out, like only one brain cell will be firing within seconds of me starting to read a chapter 😂 this book isn't like that!! It's clearly written by a professional for other professionals. It's concise, to the point with no unecessary fluff. Chapters are short but have a purpose which they make clear. I think it's really helped me to have a good foundation and I've found its very directly applicable to clinical practice. ## Frequently Bought Together - Marino's The ICU Book: Print + Ebook with Updates (ICU Book (Marino)) - The Ventilator Book - Book Tabs for Marino's The ICU Book 4th Edition.
