Manual of Pediatric Critical Care

This was recommended to me by a friend and I'm so happy I purchased it! Great information on everything from growth and development to a break down of the different systems, including a chapter on neuromuscular blocking agents and sedation. Great study tool for someone new to the ICU.

This book is very helpful! We only learn basic information in nursing school but this book teaches advanced information needed to be successful in practice, especially when you know you may have to float from one ICU to another.

This is an excellent book. I will start my pediatric intensive care job with an incredible amount of pertinent information at my fingertips.

Even though the book dates to the late 1990's, it teaches well. I think the primary competitor for informational reference is the Core Curriculum by Slota. While Slota's text is organized well for bullet point reference, for large concepts, it can't tackle all the elements in just a bullet point format. Hazinski does the job well.
