By explaining the physiological changes it aims to provide a logical basis for management and optimal care. To provide a book that will be useful to a range of grades from a variety of disciplines is certainly a challenge. However I think this book succeeds admirably. It really does provide a lot of information that you really want to know and understand and which is not available in the standard texts...I think this is an excellent book which I would certainly recommend to all grades - as a learning tool for trainees and as a refresher to senior staff.\" \u003ci\u003eClinical Tutor and Foundation Programme Director, Cheltenham General Hospital\u003c\/i\u003e  \u003cb\u003eDr Nicola Cooper\u003c\/b\u003e, MRCP, Specialist Registrar in General Internal Medicine and Care of the Elderly, Yorkshire, UK\u003cbr\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDr Kirsty Forrest\u003c\/b\u003e, FRCA, Consultant in Anaesthesia, The Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust, Yorkshire, UK\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDr Paul Cramp\u003c\/b\u003e, MRCP FRCA, Consultant in Anaesthesia and Intensive Care, Bradford Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust, Yorkshire, UK\u003c\/p\u003e  The principles of acute care are explained simply yet comprehensively.
