Reviews

The Oxford Handbook of Critical Care for PDAs provides rapid access to crucial information on most aspects of management of critically ill patients...Information is easily accessed at the bedside, at any time of the day...either directly from the index and table of contents, or through easy links. These links are...of course the essential gain from the PDA format...key papers are referenced in some chapters to help readers to find additional information if needed. Critical Care Vol 11, no 303
