Spearheading the effort to create the manual were two faculty and two resident physicians: Marin H. Together, the four wrote many of the chapters and edited those written by other physicians. The manual took nearly two years to complete and represents the combined work of 75 residents, fellows and attending physicians from the departments of internal medicine, neurology, surgery, anesthesia and obstetrics and gynecology. The manual includes treatment algorithms for more than 80 commonly encountered problems in the intensive care unit ICU , including septic shock, acute respiratory distress syndrome, ventilator-associated pneumonia and respiratory failure, as well as chapters on common ICU procedures and equations, nutrition and pharmacology. Kollef, Bedient, Isakow and Witt dedicated the manual to the late Daniel P. Golman Chair in Respiratory Intensive Care Medicine and a professor of medicine and of radiology, who died Sept. Kollef and Bedient said the goal behind the manual was to provide physicians a concise algorithm-based tool for the management of critically ill patients.

We wanted to make a manual that would fit into the pocket of a white coat and provide specific evidence-based treatment guidelines. The authors said they hope it will become a staple in caring for critically ill patients.
