The third edition textbook is a valuable asset for any healthcare practitioner who treats critically ill or injured infants and children, particularly in hospitals that operate a pediatric/adult swing unit or that do not have a pediatric ICU. This edition has been updated to reflect current practices and offers essential information throughout its 21 chapters and 15 appendices.
 
Several features make the PFCCS textbook easy to navigate and understand. Its format maximizes learning and flow of information. Each chapter and major section begins with learning objectives and a case study to focus attention on key clinical findings and patient presentation. Information boxes in the margins reinforce essential principles and emphasize clinical cautions, and many sections offer additional electronic resources for suggested reading.
