Books for an M4 PICU month?

[BigRedBeta]

I'm going to be doing an away rotation in Peds Critical Care and wanted to know if there are any books I should pick up before I head out in a couple weeks. I have a Harriet Lane already, but as I'm hoping to perform well enough for an LOR, anything extra would be a big help.

Any suggestions?

I'm doing PICU now and haven't found any books that were really useful, but this website has some very good powerpoints that give a broad introduction to PICU. The attendings and fellows on my rotation highly recommend it as the best source for students and residents rotating with them.

Cool, thanks! Looks like a lot of good information.

Marino's "ICU Book" is not pediatric specific but is a great review of pertinent topics like physiology, acid-base disorders, ventilator management, electrolyte disorders etc. I still rely on this book in the NICU as a resident. I also found this book very "readable."
