A Doody's Core Title for 2024 & 2022!
Critical Care Emergency Medicine has become the standard reference for all clinicians who wish to understand the overlap between emergency medicine and critical care.

Critical Care Emergency Medicine teaches emergency physicians everything they must know and do to better care for critically ill patients in an emergency department or to provide care in an ICU. Enhanced by numerous algorithms that speed decision making and full-color illustrations demonstrating anatomy and technique, this book is an essential practice tool.

- Airway and Ventilatory Support
- Pulmonary Disorders
- Cardiovascular Disorders
- Gastrointestinal and Renal Disorders
- Neurologic and Neurosurgical Disorders
