Here's coverage of all aspects of the medical care of the critically ill patient...with an emphasis on the "hands-on" how-to's needed in every day practice. Completely revised and updated, the 2nd Edition focuses on clinical issues--keeping up-to-date with the most recent advances and clinical trials. An organization by major body systems makes it easy to find information quickly.
- Reduction in mortality from Adult Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) by using lower tidal volume ventilation.
- Reduction in mortality from septic shock using activated protein C therapy
- Ability of reperfusion therapy (angioplasty or coronary surgery) to reduce death due to cardiogenic shock associated with myocardian infarction.
- Erthropoietin to treat anemia in the ICU
Timing of blood transfusions in the critically ill. - Management of Acute Ischemic Coronary Syndromes with platelet IIb/Illa receptor antagonists.
- New techniques in mechanical ventilation.
- Both editors are internationally acknowledged leaders in multidisciplinary critical care medicine and multisidciplinary practitioners
- Key Points lists at the end of chapter, to help readers make decisions rapidly and easily.
- Delivers key references that list other useful resources for information.
