Editorial Reviews for Oh's Intensive Care Manual
|
The sixth edition of Oh's Intensive Care Manual provides practical, concise information on all aspects of intensive care. Written in a clear and accessible style and now for the first time presented in colour throughout, this book enables the user to manage a patient in an ICU setting effectively without recourse to large text/reference works or specialized monographs.
This thoroughly revised and updated edition reflects the best and most current practice from leading centres in Australia, the UK and Western Europe. Although primarily intended for the trainee and practitioner in intensive care, nurses and other allied health professionals will find that this is an invaluable tool in helping to deal with a broad spectrum of conditions encountered in the ICU.
- Represents a consensus of practice/standard of care in Australia/NZ, UK and Europe.
- Treatment guidelines are authoritative since they follow those that are Recommended/laid down by Professional societies.
- Comprehensive, covers all important areas of intensive care medicine.
- Provides a single resource that will cover everything that a user will need to know during the course of an ICU rotation. No need to refer to a larger textbook.
- Information on management and treatment of conditions is balanced by pathophysiological and pharmacological background. This is not just a "cook book" of procedures. It provides all of the essential information for candidates wishing to pass professional examinations.
- Covers the paediatric as well as the adult patient in the ICU.
- Provides quick access and practical guidance for all clinical scenarios.
- Extensive list of key references most taken from the last three years.
- Helps trainees and practitioners prepare for case conference/presentations.
- Addition of colour throughout to highlight summary boxes, tables, charts and flow diagrams.Will make key information more accessible, easier and faster to retrieve.
- Line drawings extensively re-done in colour throughout.Will improve the user's understanding of the physiological processes under discussion.
- 5-10 Key points added at end of chapters. Will provide the user with a useful summary of the essential bottom line information.
- Pitfalls in treatment and management emphasized in each chapter.Providers the user with expert advice on practical issues that will be encountered on a day-to-day basis in the ICU.
- Includes the most current classification and "clinical scoring" schemes.

Customer Rating: 
Summary: Outstanding ICU text
Comment: When I asked intensivists to recommend a text prior to commencing my ICU rotation, this was the one they all recommended.
Pros:
- Clear, concise chapters on all important areas of intensive care medicine
- Chapters are logically laid out, and information is easy to find
- Represents as close to standard Australian/NZ/British consensus practice as you'll get in any book in this discipline
- Multiple authors who are experts in their area; again means that you're not just following the practice of one or a few isolated authors
- The balance of underlying pathophysiology discussion, as well as the actual management of conditions is just right for the ICU registrar.
- Each chapter has an excellent list of references, which is great if you need more detail or are preparing for a talk/presentation on a topic
- The book itself is of good paper quality, and won't deteriorate so easily with repeated use
Cons
- Although up to date at the time, the rapidly changing specialty means that you should be cautious with regard to some information being dated already or absent. This of course is a problem common to all medical texts. Perhaps an online updated sister site would be a good idea.
- Interns/Residents would probably benefit from refreshing their basic physiology/pharmacology to get the most out of some topics
