It describes a lot of clinical signs patho physiological patterns X-ray aspects and other small tricks that guide the physician to rapidly diagnose at the bedside what the patient may present or to better set up ventilatory support. This book is separated into two parts the first relates to techniques and methods while the second relates to diseases. The separation is sometimes artifactual as mechanical ventilation has to be discussed as a technique but also for the management of ventilatory failure.

Chapters have to be read cautiously taking time to understand the details of physiological principles or the interaction between disease processes and interventions. The book covers most aspects of intensive care practice including a rapid description of the diseases that may be encountered in critically ill patients the specificities of critically ill patients and the therapeutic interventions and monitoring techniques that may be used.
