Resuscitation and Stabilization of the Critically Ill Child

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The care of the critically ill or injured child begins with timely, prompt, and aggressive res- citation and stabilization. Ideally, stabilization should occur before the onset of organ failure in order to achieve the best possible outcomes. In the following pages, an international panel of experts provides an in-depth discussion of the early recognition, resuscitation, and stabilization of the critically ill or injured child. Once again, we would like to dedicate this textbook to our families and to the physicians and nurses who provide steadfast care every day in pediatric intensive care units across the globe. Derek S.

By some peculiar happenstance, I was nearing completion of a 4-week rotation in the newborn intensive care unit (NICU).
