This book provides 300 practice MCQs divided into three practice papers. Correct answers follow, accompanied by short referenced notes drawing from recent important journal articles, major critical care textbooks and selected internet resources. Since there is no other dedicated intensive care MCQ book on the market, this book is relevant to the following junior intensive care trainees, senior intensive care nursing staff wishing to enhance their medical knowledge, intensive care consultants as a teaching aid and trainees preparing for professional examinations. This MCQ book will also be ideal in preparation for the European Diploma in Intensive Care Medicine (EDIC) Part 1 examination, as the questions are matched as closely as possible in style and difficulty to those in the EDIC Part 1. The EDIC is an internationally recognised qualification for medical trainees in intensive care, set by the European Society for Intensive Care Medicine (ESICM). It is a two-part examination consisting of a 100-question multiple choice paper (Part 1) and a clinical and viva voce examination (Part 2). To ensure relevance, the questions are designed with reference to the training syllabus provided by the ESICM.

Intensive care medicine is a dynamic specialty that demands practitioners to blend skills from various fields, including medicine, physiology, and anesthesiology. A solid knowledge base and the ability to apply it clinically are essential. This resource features 270 multiple-choice questions for self-assessment, divided into three sections with 60 multiple true-false (MTF) and 30 single best answer (SBA) questions each. Topics encompass resuscitation, diagnosis, disease management, organ support, and ethical/legal considerations. MTF questions assess factual knowledge and understanding of the evidence base, while SBA questions evaluate prioritization and decision-making skills for patient care. Each question is peer-reviewed and includes concise explanatory notes and references for further reading. Authored by practicing intensive care physicians experienced in professional examinations, this book is designed for intensivists preparing for global examinations, including the European Diploma and American Board. It also caters to intensive care nurses and allied healthcare professionals seeking to enhance their knowledge for continuing professional development, as well as physicians in related specialties. This new title complements the existing international best-seller in the field.
