Principles of Crit.care:companion Hdbk.

Critical care medicine is defined not by a region of the body but by a region of the hospital-the Intensive Care Unit-& the nature of the equipment used. This definitive reference achieves several distinctly different goals than any other text available today. The two most important goals are the explication of the complex pathophysiology common to all critically ill patients, which spans diverse disease processes & medical sub-specialties; & the in-depth discussion of particular procedures, issues, & diseases that are integral to the assessment & treatment of the critically ill & the management of the modern Intensive Care Unit.Hall, Jesse B. is the author of 'Principles of Crit.care:companion Hdbk.' with ISBN 9780070258280 and ISBN 0070258287.
