Editorial Reviews

Review

Editorial ReviewsReviewer: Santosh Dhungana, MD (Temple University Lewis Katz School of Medicine)
Description: This is a point-of-care manual with essential information on managing patients with pulmonary diseases as well as medically critically ill patients. The book is a collection of decades of teaching wisdom from Dr. Landsberg that incorporates unique factoids and algorithms that are rarely found in other textbooks. The accompanying website provides access to all the chapters and images in a well-known format.
Purpose: According to the preface, this book represents teaching materials and illustrative cases that the author has compiled and refined over more than a decade. It incorporates diagnostic and therapeutic algorithms for common diseases encountered in the ICU and in pulmonary medicine, addresses common misconceptions, discusses basic pathophysiology, and provides illustrative cases to help get the message across. These are worthy objectives, and the book does meet most of them by providing a concise, portable, yet comprehensive review of topics that are difficult to grasp and fraught with misconception in this field.
Audience: The book is written primarily for physicians in training, including residents and fellows in pulmonary and critical care medicine. However, it should be equally useful to medical students and as a refresher to practicing pulmonologists, intensivists, and internists who take care of patients with respiratory ailments and critical illness. Dr. Landsberg has taught and practiced the specialty for decades in a premier American institution.
Features: The book is divided into pulmonary and critical care sections. The pulmonary section covers the approach to hypoxemia, hypercapnia, ventilatory failure, pulmonary function testing, chest imaging, dyspnea, heart failure, pulmonary hypertension, obesity hypoventilation, lung cancer, aspergillus lung disease, cough, sarcoidosis, venous thromboembolic disease, pneumothorax and parenchymal lung disease. The critical care portion covers shock, noninvasive and invasive mechanical ventilation, hemoptysis, electrolyte regulation, altered mental status, diabetic emergencies, advanced care planning, and code discussion in the ICU. It also has other high-yield topics like bronchiectasis, pneumonia, pleural effusion, etc. The unique features of this book are the concise presentation, bulleted format, discussion of common misconceptions, ample diagnostic and management algorithms, common questions on the topic from learners, and case vignettes. Rarely found in other books, these features really magnify the impact of the book on learners. A few shortcomings include poorly formatted pictures from patients' charts and the extremely small font used in certain pictures and algorithms. Even though several topics in pulmonary and critical care medicine are missing, the book doesn't set out to be a comprehensive textbook on the subject and hence remains immensely valuable.
Assessment: This point-of-care, portable manual on the most common problems encountered in pulmonary and critical care medicine is intended to enforce certain key concepts and clear up common misconceptions, not be a comprehensive textbook. This is one of the most unique and high-yield writing on this topic that I have come across, by an author who is obviously a very astute clinician and an expert in his field. I highly recommend this book to every internal medicine resident and pulmonary/critical care fellow in training.

High-yield case-based clincal pearls, excellent book
Reviewed in the United States on December 11, 2017
Verified Purchase

This is an excellent, clinically-focused guide to pulmonary and intensive care medicine. Covers all the basics with abundant high-quality illustrative figures and cases. Great for the intended audience of house-staff, med students, NP/PA, ICU RNs, RTs firming up their ICU knowledge. The author describes this as a readable description of all the things he wishes he knew when he was a younger doctor, and I think that theme shines through. The pearls that he describes come from experience, and are very practical/actionable to your practice. Does not dwell excessively on critical-care literature and evidenced-based medicine in critical care, which is not to say that it is not evidence based. Instead of debating subtitles of trial design and controversies in critical care, this book focuses on simpler questions of what do do with the patient in front of you. The gist of this book is the answer to the question: "If I had 20 years of experience in the ICU, how would I approach this common problem".

I enjoyed:
case based presentation with wonderful figures
the best focused ICU chest radiology review I have found
small form-factor (lab coat pocket sized) for quick reference

enjoyed it equally to Marin's classic "the ICU book". Landsberg's work is much superior to the Washington manual of critical care and various other critical care guides on the market. would strongly recommend to ICU health care team members and students.

The perfect pocket textbook for clinicians of all stages
Reviewed in the United States on December 29, 2017
Verified Purchase
Extremely valuable for both pulmonologists and intensivists of all stages (from trainees to experienced physicians). I am a junior faculty member and since receiving this book one week ago, I have used it almost every day. The chapters focus on nearly all major pulmonary and critical care topics, and are very easy to read and comprehensive. In fact, I have found this book easier to read and understand than nearly all other PCCM resources available.

Aspects that I love so far (after my first week of owning this book):
- Bulleted insights and information mixed in with algorithmic approaches to various topics
- A conversational tone which makes the reader feel as if they are on rounds with a master clinician
- The book is small enough in size to easy carry in your bag or in a large coat pocket.
- The pictures really hit home certain key concepts

5/5 stars and HIGHLY recommend to all physicians looking for a good resource on pulmonary and critical care medicine!

Excellent, high-yield, must-have book for any practitioner in Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine
Reviewed in the United States on June 12, 2018

Practical, extremely high-yield, and appropriate/relevant for a wide audience - from med students to attending physicians, from NP/PAs to RTs. Great presentation of topics with bulleted points, algorithms, and imaging and clinical cases that drive home the intended teaching points. Clearly written by a master clinician with an engaging style and overflowing with teaching pearls, I found reading this manual to be very unique from other textbooks and literature in the field. The size of the book, which fits easily into your coat pocket, reemphasizes that this manual is extremely usable and is intended to be applicable to your day-to-day practice. Well done.

Overall great book for interns, residents, fellows, and faculty.
- Each subject is a quick but comprehensive read, his book covers etiology, pathophysiology, diagnosis, and treatment.
- Easy to follow algorithms.
- Expertconsult.com has great high res pictures in his book (very helpful in the ILD/DPLD chapter).
- Small and light, easy to carry with you on on the wards/ICU/clinic.
- Debunks tons of medical myths.
- Has tons of very relevant and commonly seen cases in the book.
- Sections are easy to learn, then teach back to interns/residents.
- Really helps take care of the patient in front you - without getting bogged down in trial details/design, etc

Thanks Dr. Landsberg!

Ok, yes - the content of this book is excellent. It is practical and far less dry than similar works, and if you were thinking to spend a few bucks on a book (I often buy books so I can feel like I'm learning without really reading) for God's sake's buy this instead of another useless Ventilator Book.

However, be forewarned - the best parts of it are in the flow diagrams and figures - all in super teeny tiny font. So - unless you have superpeepers and since its 2019 (no one carries around pocket books anyway and you are likely shopping for this on your phone or tablet) allow me to encourage you to get the kindle-e-version. It's cheaper and you can easily doubletap and expand the figures/text to actually read them. If you are a Fellowship/Residency Director and wanna leave a copy in the call room (next to the computer with UptoDate on it) - fine, otherwise, be awesome and buy the e-book today. Did I mention it's a good book? Yes - it's a good book - Asaf Presente MD PhD PCCM ;)

More a pamphlet than a book. Less content than I imagined. Misuse of units(mg/kg when expressing vent setting instead of the standard ml/kg) is a confidence buster. TV for tidal volume instead of the standard Vt. Unnecessarily small font sometimes, when there is plenty of blank space. Lazy layout crew at the publisher. Still, an obvious clinical expert

Best explanation of the physiology and pathophysiology of dyspnea, exercise limitation and heart failure that I’ve ever read! Also the best algorithms for the management of sarcoidosis, ILD, lung cancer, hemoptysis that I have ever found. Pulmonary fellows will love the PFT chapter. Medical residents on their ICU rotation will love the mechanical ventilation chapter! The case discussions are numerous and rich in their ability to illustrate the teaching points made in the text.
