Intensive Care Medicine MCQs (EPUB)

Intensive Care Medicine MCQs (EPUB)

by Steve Benington

Intensive care medicine is a dynamic and continually evolving specialty that requires its practitioners to function as physician, physiologist, and anaesthetist. This demands a strong foundational knowledge base and the ability to apply it effectively in clinical practice.

This book offers 270 multiple-choice questions designed for self-assessment of the broad knowledge expected of modern intensivists. It is structured into three papers, each containing 60 multiple true–false (MTF) questions and 30 single best answer (SBA) questions. The content spans key areas such as resuscitation, diagnosis, disease management, organ support, and the ethical and legal dimensions of intensive care.

The MTF questions assess factual knowledge and understanding of the evidence underpinning intensive care medicine, while the SBA questions evaluate a candidate’s ability to prioritize, compare options, and select the most appropriate decision for the patient. Every question has been peer reviewed and is accompanied by concise yet detailed explanations and references for further study.

All authors are practising intensive care physicians with firsthand experience in professional examinations in the field. This book is suitable for intensivists preparing for examinations worldwide, including the European Diploma, the American Board examinations, and the Faculty of Intensive Care Medicine assessments. It is also valuable for intensive care nurses, allied health professionals pursuing continuing professional development, and physicians in related specialties—such as general medicine, surgery, and anaesthesia—who require an understanding of intensive care.

This volume serves as a companion to the best-selling title Multiple Choice Questions in Intensive Care Medicine (ISBN 978 1 903378 64 9), also authored by Dr. Steve Benington.
