Opis

Addressing critical care and emergency practices and technologies for complications and conditions affecting many areas of the body including the nervous, cardiovascular, and gastrointestinal systems, this source reviews equipment to monitor the brain and spinal cord, hemodynamics, and renal function provides a step-by-step approach to perform a TEE examination supplies an overview of seven goals that must be achieved to wean patients from mechanical ventilation studies the role of physical and occupational therapy in critical care considers religious and cultural differences in brain death and end-of-life care Produced by internationally recognized experts in trauma critical care, Volume 2 discusses the entire gamut of critical care management of the trauma patient and covers several common complications and conditions treated in surgical intensive care units that are not specifically related to trauma. Utilizing evidence-based guidelines where they exist, this all-encompassing source expertly analyzes procedures in analgesia and sedation, patient monitoring, infection control, nutritional evaluation, psychological support, and end-of-life care. BOTH VOLUMES IN THE SET: contain chapters that open with a brief outline of the contents, as well as highlight key points throughout the text and summarize crucial information at the end of each chapter illustrate key concepts with an extensive use of tables and figures offer an Eye to the Future section in each chapter, considering the impact of new technologies on future trauma care describe numerous evidence-based strategies that have led to improved outcomes and decreased hospital stay for trauma and critically ill patients.

Recenzje

"…The editors are eminently qualified and have succeeded in producing an authoritative and comprehensive textbook on trauma….this two-volume set is an extremely valuable contribution because of the importance of the subject, the fact that the topic has not been so comprehensively covered in one text until now, and because of the wisdom of the editors."
-Vice Admiral Richard Henry Carmona, 17th General of the United States of America

"…a very compelling and important resource in the management of trauma….strongly recommended."
-Kenneth L. Mattox, Chief of Surgery, Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, Texas, USA
