About this book
Every medical specialty has as its basis a core of classic papers which both reflects the historical background and gives insight into its present and future developments. The selected papers in this volume highlight landmarks in the development of critical care medicine. Internationally acclaimed experts have chosen what they consider to be the most important papers in their respective subspecialties. Each entry follows a set format, starting with the abstract and the reference to the original source of publication. This is followed by analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of the paper and the contribution it has made to the development of critical care. Additional information including citation score of each paper is given together with detailed analysis of the top 500 most widely cited papers.
Reviews
From the reviews of the second edition:
"This is collection of papers identified by an expert panel as defining contemporary practice in critical care medicine. Abstracts, figures, and summaries from key papers are provided. Senior trainees or fellows in critical care medicine and academic practitioners or senior clinicians in the field may find this work of interest. … This unique contribution presents the work that defines much of current intensivist activity. … anyone with a significant interest in critical care will enjoy this collection." (David J. Dries, Doody’s Review Service, September, 2008)
"Classic Papers in Critical Care provides a highly informative, easy-to-read overview on the fundamentals of intensive care medicine. … This book is highly recommended for intensive care specialists or general physicians with interest in critical care as well as physicians-in-training or intensive care fellows who not only want to know how to practice evidence-based critical care according to the latest insights but also want to understand the fundamentals underlying these guidelines." (Marcel Levi, Journal of the American Medical Association, April, 2009)
