A must-read for patients, families, and staff!

• The only educational resource available that explains the entire intensive care unit experience in one easy-to-read book.
• Saves busy physicians and nurses valuable time by providing families with loved ones in the ICU supplemental information.
• Explains commonly used medical technology, machines, monitors, and procedures in a clear and simple style.
• Extensive glossary of common medical terms and procedures.
• Describes major diseases/conditions causing ICU admissions.
• Practical information on living wills and organ donation.
• The need for this comprehensive educational resource is great: 75,000 ICU beds in the U.S. with an average daily census of 45,000 to 50,000 patients. Approximately 5 million patients per year are admitted to ICUs in the U.S.; this population is expected to double during the next 15 years.
