This book presents 50 real-world ICU scenarios, each
crafted to simulate the clinical challenges faced at the
bedside. From cardiac arrest and sepsis to obscure
poisonings and neurocritical emergencies, every case is
presented with a clear structure: clinical presentation,
differential diagnosis, step-by-step investigations,
immediate interventions, treatment protocols, and
reasoning for decisions made. Each case emphasizes
practical wisdom over theoretical knowledge, helping the
reader develop critical thinking, clinical judgment, and
prioritization skills in crisis situations.
What sets this book apart is its “action-first” design
identifying what not to miss, what not to wait for, and
why early interventions are essential. The approach is
concise, clinically rich, and immediately applicable.
Complex concepts are simplified without diluting the
core medical science. This makes the book not just a
guide, but a bridge between textbook learning and
real-time decision-making.
