About this book

Marino's The ICU Book 5th edition by Paul L. Marino is a practical critical care reference focused on the everyday evaluation and management of critically ill patients. The book connects physiology with bedside decision making, helping clinicians understand monitoring data, recognize deterioration, choose appropriate interventions, and manage common problems encountered across medical, surgical, and specialty intensive care units.

The 5th edition covers vascular access, venous thromboprophylaxis, analgesia and sedation, oximetry, capnography, pulmonary artery catheterization, systemic oxygenation, intravenous fluids, blood component therapy, and major shock syndromes. Additional coverage includes mechanical ventilation, acid base disorders, electrolyte abnormalities, renal failure, pulmonary embolism, sepsis, liver failure, acute pancreatitis, nutritional support, and other conditions requiring intensive monitoring and organ support.

This book is intended for medical students, interns, residents in internal medicine, surgery, and anesthesiology, critical care physicians, critical care nurses, physician assistants, respiratory therapists, and paramedics involved in the care of critically ill patients. Its emphasis on practical management makes it especially useful for ICU rotations, bedside problem solving, interpretation of physiologic data, and review of critical care interventions.

Medical students, residents, ICU physicians, critical care nurses, PAs, respiratory therapists, and paramedics can use this edition to review monitoring, fluid management, shock, ventilation, organ dysfunction, and other core intensive care topics.
