The fifth edition of The ICU Book marks its 33rd year as a fundamental sourcebook for the care of critically ill adults. This edition continues the original intent to craft a textbook that focuses on fundamental concepts and practices that can be used in any ICU, regardless of the specialty designation of the unit. Creating succinct presentations that are easy to understand has always been a priority, and has been a popular feature of past editions. This edition has been reorganized and completely rewritten, with updated references and clinical practice guidelines included at the end of each chapter. There are 53 chapters (two fewer than the fourth edition), with new chapters on Fluid Management (Chapter 11), Approaches to Clinical Shock (Chapter 14), Cardiogenic Shock (Chapter 16), Acute Pulmonary Embolism (Chapter 22), and Noninvasive Ventilation (Chapter 26). (Consolidation of the material in several chapters in the fourth edition has allowed for the addition of new chapters without increasing the total length of the book.) The text is supplemented with 238 original illustrations and 207 tables (an average of 4–5 illustrations and 4 tables per chapter) and each chapter ends with a brief section titled “A Final Word”, where the author provides some insight about a relevant issue, or highlights some pertinent points in the chapter.
