Hey all,

Will be starting PICU soon. Is there a good handbook for this rotation?

Thanks.
 
The text I see the residents using for their PICU month is Manual of Pediatric Critical Care by Mary Fran Hazinski. Another text for reference is Pediatric Critical Care: The Essentials by Tobias. A good ICU text in general is the ICU Book by Paul Marino (blue book). This book is more for adults in the ICU, it's a little outdated, but the concepts are good.

Good luck! 👍

One of the PICU fellows I worked with recommended this site for the residents. www.picucourse.org. It is on the Society of Critical Care medicine web site. Goto the course catalog, and it links you to some powerpoint presentations. These were prepared by various PICU Attendings for the purpose of teaching residents and fellows. They are peer reviewed before being published online. I found them helpful to pass the time while working nights as well as being very good.

Peace out,
Greg
