"Pediatric Critical Care: The Essentials is an excellent textbook as a reference for physicians who may be involved in the care of critically ill children on a consultative or initial/stabilizing basis. This is especially true for busy anesthesiologists who may encounter critically ill children in their practice. In addition, this reviewer believes this textbook would be invaluable for medical students, residents, and fellows who work in a pediatric intensive care unit. A comprehensive reading of this text by students and residents over a period of time would certainly educate them on the major issues and treatment likely to be encountered in the pediatric critical environment."Journal of Anesthesia & Analgesia"... a well-written and useful text for a wide range of professionals who either occasionally or more frequently care for critically ill infants and children. It is easy to read and covers the fundamental concepts of pediatric critical care medicine. Although it can be used as a reference, it should be read cover-to-cover for those who are interested in learning the essentials of this complex field."Doodys Review Service"Four stars This clear, concise, well-written text achieves the editors goal of providing a ready reference to assist nonintensivists who occasionally encounter a critically ill child in need of immediate intensive management. This is arguably the best of the 2 or 3 overview texts currently available."Mayo Clinic Proceedings"...concise and well written...a useful addition to the libraries of general pediatricians and pediatric residents."The New England Journal of Medicine"...a valuable addition to any general pediatricians library."Pediatric Cardiology"Each chapter of this book is well-organized and easy to read...the information presented, especially concerning drugs and therapeutic regiments, is as current as it can possibly be."I would recommend this book to any student, housetaff officer, or nurse working in a PICU. Practicing pediatricians and primary care physicians without ready access to tertiary pediatric critical care centers will also find this book to be very helpful. Pediatric intensivists may also like this book for the specific chapters mentioned herein. Its relatively low cost, as compared with the major pediatric critical care textbooks, makes it a bargain."Anesthesiology"This book attempts to provide an easy-to-read, useful, and practical overview of the complexities of pediatric critical care medicine, for a target population that includes pediatricians, house officers, medical students, and nursing staff who do not necessarily practice this subspecialty. This book achieves its goals; it is readable, concise, straightforward, and updated."In summary, the vast majority of chapters are excellent, and I would recommend this book to be added to the bookshelves of intensive care units in which house officer, non-specialized physicians, and nursing staff take care of critically ill children."Pediatric Pulmonology"In summary, Pediatric Critical Care: The Essentials is a well-written textbook that more than lives up to its goal of serving as an introductory overview of PCCM. My nurses and nurse practitioners have enjoyed this book as a rapid bedside source of information concerning their patients. As the former Chairman of the Pediatric Residency Education Committee of the Society of Critical Care Medicine, we are considering using this book as the core textbook for residents and medical students performing their rotations in the PICU. This book will be helpful to everyone who cares for a sick infant or child and belongs on the bookshelf in every PICU."Pediatric Critical Care Medicine, " Pediatric Critical Care: The Essentials is an excellent textbook as a reference for physicians who may be involved in the care of critically ill children on a consultative or initial/stabilizing basis.

    Mistakenly ordered a paperback that I thought was a hardcover, not sellers fault; it was described properly on the listing. Seller still processed a refund the day I went to return the item and let me keep the item anyway. A+++ service. Book arrived quickly in great condition and for a great price. Thank you so much! Amazing seller!

    seller was communicative about my shipment, media mail took a while and tracking wasn't updated frequently, but seller communicated to me very quickly on status. the item came new and wrapped as described, though the packaging in it was packed wasn't sturdy and falling apart when it got to me.
