Essential Guide to Acute Care - Softcover

Von der hinteren Coverseite

This book contains everything you really need to know about acute care that you can’t find in a standard textbook and have probably never been taught before. It is written for:

• 
  
• Trainees in medicine, surgery, emergency medicine, anesthesia and critical care
• 
  
• Final year medical students
• 
  
• Nursing staff and allied professionals working in critical care areas.

Two experienced teachers explain the principles of acute care simply yet comprehensively. Throughout the book “mini-tutorials” expand on the latest thinking or controversies, and there are practical case histories to enforce the learning at the end of each chapter.

Starting with the concept of patients at risk and then how to understand and manage their abnormal physiology, this book is essential reading for anyone who looks after acutely ill adults.
