Product Description
Completely rewritten and updated for the Fourth Edition, this Spiral(R) Manual remains the leading quick-reference guide to both medical and surgical intensive care. The essential principles, protocols, and techniques from Irwin and Rippe's Intensive Care Medicine, Fifth Edition have been distilled into a portable, practical manual that is ideal for rapid bedside consultation. The user-friendly format features numerous tables, illustrations, and annotated references. This edition has completely revamped sections on cardiovascular problems and coronary care, surgical problems, shock and trauma, endocrine problems, and hematology, plus expanded coverage of gastroesophageal balloon tamponade, aspiration of joints, hepatic dysfunction, and noninvasive mechanical ventilation.
Readers of the current edition of our Manual will immediately notice a significant change in format. We have adopted a more user-friendly, outline format to try to give busy house officers more direct and immediate access to the information they need to manage the complex and time-sensitive issues of the practice of critical care medicine. As with the previous edition, we have challenged the authors to emphasize critical concepts and pare down chapters to the key clinically relevant points. Annotated references are provided to guide the interested reader through key articles in the relevant literature.
The Manual of Intensive Care Medicine opens with an extensive section on Procedures and Techniques. The next seven sections are divided according to organ system. In each chapter, discussions of key entities that present in the intensive care or coronary care unit environment appear together with targeted discussions focusing on treatment.
Section IX presents a review of key Pharmacology, Overdoses, and Poisonings considerations recognizing that these remain important issues in intensive care. This section has been pared down from the previous edition of our Manual. We recognize this area as being so important that we have co-edited, along with our colleague, toxicologist Dr. Christopher Linden, an entire Manual of Overdoses and Poisonings, which can be used in conjunction with the current edition of the Manual of Intensive Care Medicine.
As in the previous edition, there are extensive sections on surgical issues in critical care as well as shock and trauma. The Manual closes with sections on Neurology; Transplantation; Rheumatology and Immunology; Psychiatry; and Moral, Ethical, Legal and Public Policy Issues in Intensive Care all of which are crucial to a comprehensive view of adult intensive care medicine.
