Current Practice in Critical Illness

The field of critical illness is an area of rapid change and development. All specialist clinicians need to keep abreast of these changes and revise and rethink their clinical practice constantly. Current Practice in Critical Illness is written by an international field of respected clinicians and provides an essential reference source for all specialists working with the critically ill. The multidisciplinary nature of critical illness is reflected in the range of topics covered which include paediatric aspects, cardiology, resuscitation and neuroscience, and the books will be an essential reference source for intensivists, anaesthetists, emergency medicine physicians and specialist nurses, in training and practice. This, the third volume in the series, continues the tradition of providing authoritative, comprehensive commentaries on current practice in the care of the critically ill.
