Thematic volumes in Intensive Care

Lessons from the ICU is a Book Series of the European Society of Intensive Care Medicine (ESICM).

The Series aims to provide the best resource to everyone working in ICUs, where each volume contains a comprehensive overview of thematic issues in Intensive Care.

The monothematic volumes aim to cover the majority of topics intensive care professionals may face during their career, and they are an excellent guide for residents at their first ICU experience, senior consultants, nurses, or allied healthcare professionals.

The chapters’ organisation allows the reader to quickly approach or refresh the pathophysiology background and move on to diagnosing and treating. Every chapter has ‘Take Home Messages’ lists, and practical examples are set so that theoretical knowledge is translated into a worked clinical scenario. Every volume is edited by world-renowned key opinion leaders in Intensive Care, and every chapter is written by experts in the field.

In summary, Lessons from the ICU bridges the gap in the current Intensive Care Literature by bringing top-quality literature reviews that can be easily digested and used at the bedside to improve patients’ outcomes.
