This title, sanctioned by the AACN, continues to be the most comprehensive clinical resource available for critical care nurses. Three new authors, with a combined 62 years of clinical practice, have been teamed with the original authors to guarantee a well-rounded, comprehensive and current presentation of critical care nursing. The content has been extensively revised and reorganized to make this edition more practical for the clinical setting. Introductory, non-clinical content has been eliminated making the essential information easier to find. Numerous boxes and tables areintegrated throughout, increasing the visual appeal. Plus, hundreds of line illustrations are completely new or have been redrawn to provide clarity.
