The Clinical Handbook for Surgical Critical Care

Featuring a new chapter on acute abdominal illness, this updated volume covers all aspects of acute and emergency care for the critically ill or injured patient who may be in the ICU and/or CCU. Following chapters on the role of the critical care surgeon, shock, circulation, and inflammation, the book is conveniently separated into chapters by organ systems and takes a look at the critical disease states associated with these organs. Each chapter includes sections on pathophysiology, physical examination and monitoring, laboratory results, and treatment options.
