Best critical care reference

Published

I recently started in critical care and was wondering if any of you guys could tell me what you have found to be the best quick reference for critical care - ACLS, labs, emergency/cardiac drugs, etc.. Thanks for any suggestion!:)

There are lots of good references, however, if you want one to carry with you that has a lot of pertinant info, I would recommend Fast Facts...you can look into it a http://www.kathywhite.com.

It is a fabulous book!. It goes over each system, calculations, acls, common critical care meds, and there are some special chapters on trauma, peds, iabp and cv surgery. I really like it, especially because it is small and covers all systems.

The Fast facts is a great reference tool.. My friend has one, I'm trying to figure out how to steal it:chuckle

aacn.org has a bookstore with other great critical care resources as well.
