Description
The revision of "Multiple Organ Dysfunction and Failure" provides up-to-date information on the science of multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS). This edition brings not only new science but new nomenclature based on the recommendations of the American College of Chest Physicians and the Society of Critical Care Medicine Consensus Conference. The text gives the experienced critical care practitioner, the patho-physiologic background and understanding of MODS necessary to develop an effective plan of care and anticipate events associated with this syndrome.
