Synopsis:

This new resource covers the entire spectrum of care provided to adult ICU patients. Concise and compact, yet comprehensive, it guides readers step by step from diagnosis through the appropriate treatment for a full range of problems. A multitude of authorities present proven approaches for evaluation and management, emphasizing evidence-based practices whenever possible.

Examines the conditions most frequently seen in the ICU, such as acute respiratory failure, mechanical ventilation, and invasive hemodynamic monitoring.

Addresses ICU patients with special needs, such as the pregnant patient, the dying patient, and patients with AIDS, End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD), or End Stage Liver Disease (ESLD).

Explores management of patients recovering from critical illness, an often overlooked part of ICU care.

Includes a unique section that uses a problem-based approach to health conditions that arise following patients admission to the ICU.
