Great condition

Bought this older version b/c I was told it is the same as the 5th edition. No problems with seller or book but don't buy it for use of the 5th edition. A lot of info is the same but the 5th edition has a whole new chapter, all your pages are different, and there are some new & updated charts/graphs/information that would make it hard to follow in this edition. And ofcourse, there is now a 6th edition of this book, making this one pretty much obsolete.

poor placement of data)
Reviewed in the United States on 7 June 2016Verified Purchase
Has the same info as the new edition (although some chapters are off). However, this book is so poorly written (disorganization, typos, poor placement of data). No nursing school should ever use it. It doesn't make the ICU concept easy. I'm in the process of rewriting it in a way that is comprehensible. I would use other sources as a supplement. The great thing with this book is that this edition is hardback, whereas the newest editions are paperback. This is also much cheaper than the new edition (~80-120 USD)
