The book Marino’s The ICU Book: Print + Ebook with Updates is written by Paul L. Marino. The fourth edition of The ICU Book marks its twenty-third year as an essential sourcebook for the care of critically ill patients. This edition continues the original intent to provide a “generic textbook” presenting the fundamental concepts and practices of patient care that can be used in any adult intensive care unit, regardless of unit specialty. Highly specialized topics such as obstetric emergencies, burn care, and traumatic injuries are left for more qualified specialized textbooks.
This edition has been completely reorganized and rewritten, with updated references and clinical practice guidelines included at the end of each chapter. The text is supplemented by 246 original illustrations and 199 original tables, and five new chapters have been added: Vascular Catheters (Chapter 1), Occupational Exposures (Chapter 4), Alternative Modes of Ventilation (Chapter 27), Pancreatitis and Liver Failure (Chapter 39), and non-pharmaceutical toxicromes (Chapter 55). Each chapter ends with a short section titled “A Final Word,” which highlights an idea or emphasizes salient information presented in the chapter.
