Features: Massachusetts General Hospital is a teaching hospital of Harvard Medical School at the University of Harvard and one of the highest-level hospitals in the United States. The Department of Anesthesia and Critical Care Medicine at the hospital has compiled the "Manual of Critical Care Monitoring and Treatment," which has been published in its 3rd edition. This manual is authoritative and practical, and almost every anesthesiologist, internist, surgeon, and pediatrician working in the ICU in the United States has one. This manual emphasizes the physiological principles and basic treatment methods for critically ill patients. The content is very extensive, up-to-date, and focuses on solving the problems commonly encountered by resident physicians, reflecting the latest standards of monitoring and treatment. The manual also includes commonly used drugs, laboratory blood biochemical parameters, and English-Chinese comparative terms and indexes, serving as a reference for drug manuals and English-Chinese critical care medical dictionaries. Some errors in the original text have been corrected by the translator's notes. The publication of this manual undoubtedly plays the role of a good teacher and friend for physicians working in the ICU in various disciplines.
