Review
“This is clearly an update from the first edition. With its effective writing style, this book provides readers a workable introduction in a brief amount of time.” (Doody’s, 23 March 2012)
"This is an informative book especially for medical students and graduates, younger doctors and specialist nurses working in the intensive care units of medical centers. It provides core knowledge about critical–care patient management. It is a well organized book that makes for easy learning." (Biz India, 3 February 2012) --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.Product Description
Intensive care is often perceived as a forbidding and intimidating environment with critically ill patients being surrounded by a plethora of sophisticated monitoring equipment. This book aims to provide an introduction to the workings of the specialty and to demystify intensive care for the interested beginner. Edited by leading authorities in the field, it covers the key aspects of intensive care organisation, technology, practice and ethics. Full of concise, practical information and illustrated with excellent colour photographs, chapters include:
– Criteria for admission
– Organ dysfunction
– Outcome data and scoring systems
– Withdrawal of care
– Transport of the critically ill patient
– Recovery
The ABC of Intensive Care will be an invaluable introduction to the subject for junior doctors, intensive care specialists and nurses.
