From the book reviews:

This is the second edition of a pocket-sized collection of data and treatment algorithms for organ-specific problems typically encountered in patients in the intensive care unit. The book highlights commonly encountered conditions with a focus on presentation and management, and tables summarize drug treatment strategies. Trainees needing a rapid reference and more experienced practitioners seeking a quick number or drug name are the intended audience. (David J. Dries, Doodys Book Reviews, March, 2015)
