[.ca] Critical Care Handbook of the Massachusetts General ... (ISBN 0781762448)

The best Crit Care Handbook:
This is easily the best crit care handbook around. Well written chapters - the one on mechanical ventilation is the best I've read in a handbook - and hits most topics you need to know. Downsides - it can use some updating, and I think most chapters can be a little more detailed. (better to have more detail than less) Another good option would be Joseph Varon's Handbook of Practical Critical Care Medicine. If you're going to buy a crit care handbook it should be one of these.
