What are the standard critical care textbooks out there? What's considered the best? Which is most user-friendly for medical students? Any great handbooks out there?

njbmd said:Another excellent book is House Officer Guide to ICU Care by Elefteriades. This book though out of print, will make you instantly very sophisticated. It is easy to read and contains practical user-friendly guides to everything that you will encouter in the ICU. The hemodynamic monitoring section is golden.

Are you a resident/fellow at Y-NHH?njbmd said:Hi there,
One in the same. I asked him when he was going to put out another edition of this great book. My copy is full of notes and marks. It is by far, the most used book in my collection. My new edition of Sabiston is getting pretty worn out too.
