The second edition of Pediatric Critical Care Medicine spans three volumes, with major sections dedicated to specific organ systems. Each major section consists of separate chapters dedicated to reviewing the specific disease processes affecting each organ system. Each chapter concludes with a comprehensive list of references, with brief, concise remarks denoting references of ‘special interest’ and ‘of interest’. Consequently, the books are unique in their comprehensive coverage of pediatric critical care and their ease of use and will be of value to those studying towards pediatric critical care examinations and those who are already qualified.

Features
• A new edition of the most comprehensive textbook of pediatric critical care medicine
• First ostensibly evidence-based pediatric critical care textbook
• Relevant for those studying towards pediatric critical care examinations and those who are already qualified
