Description

This book captures the generic information of practical significance for anyone functioning in an intensive care unit regardless of its medical or surgical environment. The Second Edition has been thoroughly revised and updated. Seven new chapters have been added for specific clinical coverage of neurologic crises, myocardial infarction, AIDS, and the important problem of post-operative management. Drug-to-drug and drug-to-nutrient interactions are grouped in an appendix by the nature of the interaction (lethal, serious, and minor). The coverage of Clinical Scoring Systems has been expanded. There's also an appendix of Enteral Feeding Formulas which provides specific recipes for the common nutritional packs used in ICU environments. Recommended in the Brandon/Hill list of print books and journals for the small medical library - April 200
