Description
This comprehensive reference has been completely revised with the most up-to-date information on medical research in the diagnosis and treatment of paediatric diseases, and with new and expanded sections on pharamacology and technology for the paediatric patient. Covers the latest on liquid ventilation, high-frequency oscillatory intervention, radiographic imaging in the ICU, and molecular intensive care. Also includes a wealth of information on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, nitride oxide therapy, inflammation and shock, and more! Due to the voluminous coverage of material, this practical guide is sectioned into two distinct books: one solely devoted to paediatric diseases and its reasearch, and the other focused on procedures, equipment and techniques. Provides the reader with outlines of chapter topics, tables, dosages and normal values in a convenient format for easy referral.
