Recensioner i media

"...four sections that cover the basic principle of critical care, topics related to surgical emergencies and medical emergencies, and special issues. A strength of the book is that each of its 25 chapters can serve as a stand-alone reference for rapid review. Yet the text flows nicely from chapter to chapter, making it easy to garner a comprehensive survey of this area of medicine....an excellent resource for those who care for the elderly in acute care settings."- The New England Journal of Medicine, 2000"…clearly written and didactically well presented.…recommended to all geriatricians."-Gerontology
