Presented as a selection of case- and scenario-based MCQs (multiple choice questions), the text provides extensive coverage of core topics such as ICU fundamentals, organ support therapies, sepsis, ARDS (acute respiratory distress syndrome), haemodynamic monitoring, neurocritical care, and many more.

Each MCQ is followed by a detailed explanation clarifying the correct answer and general misconceptions.
