Thoroughly updated for its Sixth Edition, Intensive Care Medicine remains an unsurpassed source of definitive, practical guidance on adult patient care in the ICU.
This classic handbook provides encyclopedic, multidisciplinary coverage of both medical and surgical intensive care and includes a "how-to" atlas of procedures and a new section on noninvasive monitoring.
Features of the sixth edition:
- Each chapter, for the first time, identifies Advances in Management based on randomized controlled clinical trials
- The cardiology section has been completely rewritten to reflect advances in management of acute coronary syndromes
- Includes extensive updates on management of COPD, diabetes, oncologic emergencies, and overdoses and poisonings
