Intensive care is the specialty where the syllabus refuses to stay inside one discipline. The exams expect you to be a respiratory physician, a nephrologist, a neurologist, a microbiologist, a toxicologist and an ethicist, often about the same patient. Reading a full textbook of each is not a plan.
This is the book that solves that problem. Part of Oxford University Press's Oxford Specialty Training: Revision Texts series, it condenses the intensive care syllabus into concise notes and bullet points with tables and diagrams — mapped to the FFICM, EDIC and FCICM examinations, organised by physiological system and subdivided by clinical issue.

What This Book Covers
Organised by physiological system and subdivided by clinical issue, spanning the ground these examinations actually test:
• Respiratory
• Cardiovascular
• Renal and metabolic
• Gastroenterology and hepatology
• Neurosciences
• Infection
• Haematology
• Injury: trauma and environmental
• Toxicology
• Obstetrics
• Dying, death, organ and tissue donation
• Organisational issues
• Ethics, law and communication
• Perioperative care
Key Features
• Written as revision notes, not as a textbook — concise, bulleted, and designed to be gone through repeatedly rather than read once
• Mapped to the FFICM, EDIC and FCICM syllabuses
• Key facts highlighted so a chapter can be re-skimmed in minutes near the exam
• Tables and diagrams for the comparisons and numbers that are hard to hold in prose
• Covers the non-clinical domains — ethics, law, communication and organisational issues — that candidates routinely under-prepare
• Written by intensivists who have sat these examinations

• Candidates preparing for the FFICM, EDIC or FCICM
• Intensive care and anaesthesia trainees
• Medical registrars rotating through ICU
• Candidates for other critical care fellowship and membership examinations
