This comprehensive study guide is designed to be used for review alongside a critical care textbook. The material is presented in concise question-and-answer format with spaces provided so the reader can check each question off as he or she supplies the answer. Random presentation of the material within chapters is meant to simulate a board exam. The final chapter contains questions and answers randomly arranged in all topics in a multiple choice and true/false format. There is a selected bibliography, but no index. The three editors are with Chicago Medical School and the Harvard Medical School. Annotation ©2005 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
Why waste time guessing at what you need to know for the critical care board exam? Maximize your exam preparation time with this quick-hit question and answer review.

Emphasis is placed on distilling key facts and clinical pearls essential for exam success. Great for certification and re-certification, this high-yield review for the boards is the perfect compliment to larger texts for intense, streamlined review in the days and weeks before your exam.
