Pocket ICU

Llego completo, sin ningún daño, me ha servido mucho en la residencia :)

O produto veio faltando o capítulo 23 sobre doenças infecciosas e sepse.

For a tiny book, it is astoundingly thorough. I love small print. It is a completely different entity from Pocket Medicine (I have the last two editions), so it would be unfair to compare both. The topics are arranged in a manner suited for intensive care practice or rotations. For students (as myself), I suggest you pair Pocket ICU with Marino's ICU (I have the big version), which explains concepts and principles. I believe neither is superior but complementary. I read Marino's at home because it's bulky or too wordy to scan before bedside rounds. But I refer to Pocket ICU during the shifts.UPDATE (Jan 2, 2020):I find myself reaching for Pocket ICU more than Marino's especially when looking up recommended doses for and a brief overview of specific critical care issues like acute stroke, seizures, and care for PACU, pediatric, obstetric and geriatric patients, etc.Of the Pocket series, my constants now are Medicine, Primary Care and ICU. They just complement each other. I have Emergency Med in Kindle but I find myself reaching out for PC more than EM at the ED and urgent care. (Although it is a given that we should read in advance before showing up at ED; no one should be reviewing at bedside.) Pocket ICU is also useful in the floors. Some patients deteriorate in the course of their hospitalization. There were times we didn't have available ICU or Int-ICU/CCU beds so we were forced to manage complicated cases in the wards, stuff beyond the scope of Pocket Medicine.

too small writing, otherwise highlights the key points

I got this book as a resource for my new-grad RN orientee in the COVID ICU we work at. It is super useful and explains complex concepts in a concise manner. It is small enough to keep on hand while on the unit without being too small to use comfortably.
