paperback. Zustand: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing.

Shanley V Preface to Pediatric Critical Care Medicine: Basic Science and Clinical Evidence The eld of critical care medicine is growing at a tremendous pace, and tremendous advances in the understanding of critical illness have been realized in the last decade. My family has directly bene ted from some of the technological and scienti c advances made in the care of critically ill children. My son Ryan was born during my third year of medical school. By some peculiar happenstance, I was nearing completion of a 4-week rotation in the newborn intensive care unit (NICU).

Shipping weight over 1kg. -- As the first textbook in the field to explicitly adopt an evidence-based approach, the book serves both as a comprehensive educational foundation for those preparing for certification in pediatric intensive care and as a detailed resource for seasoned clinicians navigating the complex medical, technological, and ethical terrain of contemporary critical care environments. Divided into five parts, the volume explores not only the bedside care of critically ill children but also the institutional, scientific, and ethical infrastructures underpinning pediatric intensive care units (PICUs). Part I addresses the practice of pediatric critical care from multiple angles: global perspectives, legal frameworks, architectural design of PICUs, administrative structures, and the roles of nursing, pharmacology, and scoring systems in critical decision-making. It also considers emergent dimensions such as telemedicine, simulation training, and quality improvement initiatives, underscoring the field's growing reliance on multidisciplinary collaboration and systems-level thinking. Part II transitions into the molecular and genomic sciences that have begun to transform diagnostic and therapeutic strategies in PICUs. Chapters explore genetic polymorphisms, signal transduction pathways, oxidative stress mechanisms, and the roles of inflammatory mediators, emphasizing the trend toward personalized medicine and the integration of omics data into clinical algorithms. This scientific emphasis illustrates how critical care is increasingly anchored in translational research, aiming to tailor treatments to individual physiological profiles and improve prognostic accuracy. Part III focuses on resuscitation, stabilization, and transport logistics. Topics range from airway management and shock to traumatic injury and coma. A dedicated discussion of post-resuscitation care highlights the importance of nuanced outcome prediction and the use of emerging biomarkers in guiding therapy. Additional chapters address the ethical complexities of life-support withdrawal, brain death, and organ donor management, revealing the overlap between technological capacity and humanistic care. Part IV deals with the diverse modes of patient monitoring that define the modern PICU. The volume documents the obsolescence of traditional tools like the pulmonary artery catheter in favor of modalities such as continuous venous oximetry, near-infrared spectroscopy, and noninvasive brain monitoring. Nutritional and renal monitoring also receive detailed treatment, reflecting a holistic understanding of multisystem involvement in pediatric critical illness. The final section, Part V, delves into special scenarios including mass casualty events, chemical terrorism, pandemic response, toxic ingestions, and envenomation. These chapters contextualize critical care within broader public health and disaster medicine frameworks, while also illustrating how PICUs serve as front-line settings for a variety of acute emergencies. The volume's scope confirms its utility across a wide professional audience: clinicians, educators, administrators, and researchers. Its thorough documentation of cutting-edge technologies, globalized practices, and ethical considerations aligns pediatric critical care with current trends in healthcare modernization and interdisciplinary integration. Moreover, its emphasis on both the science and the art of care - evident in reflections on compassion and communication - ensures the human dimensions of the field remain central despite rapid technological advancement. With contributions from leading experts, this is a definitive educational text and a dynamic reflection of the field's evolution, offering enduring value for academic programs and clinical practice alike.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Neurologic emergencies are a common reason for admission to the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU). A thorough understanding of the diseases and disorders affecting the pediatric central nervous system is vital for any physician or healthcare provider working in the PICU. In the following pages, an international panel of experts provides an in-depth discussion on the res- citation, stabilization, and ongoing care of the critically ill or injured child with central nervous system dysfunction. 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.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - The development of pediatric cardiac surgical programs has had a profound effect on the s- cialty of pediatric critical care medicine, and as a result, the eld of pediatric cardiac intensive care is rapidly emerging as a separate subspecialty of pediatric critical care medicine. The ability to provide care for the critically ill child with congenital heart disease clearly separates pediatric intensivists from our adult colleagues. A thorough understanding and knowledge of the unique physiology of the child with congenital heart disease are therefore absolutely crucial for anyone working in the pediatric intensive care unit. 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 pe- atric intensive care units across the globe. Derek S.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - The principal role of the respiratory system is to permit ef cient exchange of respiratory gases (O and CO ) with the environment. The respiratory system is unique in that it is constantly 2 2 exposed to a barrage of foreign substances from both the internal environment (at any one point in time, approximately one-half of the cardiac output is received by the lungs) and the external environment (with each breath, the respiratory tract is exposed to pollens, viruses, bacteria, smoke, etc). According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, diseases of the res- ratory system were the seventh and eighth leading causes of deaths in children aged 1 to 19 years in 2003 [1]. Dr. George A. Gregory, one of the founding fathers of pediatric critical care me- cine, once estimated that acute respiratory failure accounts for nearly 50% of all admissions to the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) [2]. Just as important are the many diseases that affect the respiratory system that are not associated with acute respiratory failure, but nevertheless constitute a major portion of the practice of pediatric critical care medicine, some of which account for signi cant morbidity and mortality [3]. 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.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - The eld of critical care medicine is in the midst of a dramatic change. Technological and s- enti c advances during the last decade have resulted in a fundamental change in the way we view disease processes, such as sepsis, shock, acute lung injury, and traumatic brain injury. Pediatric intensivists have been both witness to and active participants in bringing about these changes. As the understanding of the pathogenesis of these diseases reaches the cellular and molecular levels, the gap between critical care medicine and molecular biology will disappear. It is imperative that all physicians caring for critically ill children in this new era have a th- ough understanding of the applicability of molecular biology to the care of these patients at the bedside in order to keep up with the rapidly evolving eld of critical care medicine. To the same extent, the practice of critical care medicine is in the midst of fundamental change. In keeping with the Institute of Medicine's report 'Crossing the Quality Chasm,' the care of critically ill and injured children needs to be safe, evidence-based, equitable, ef cient, timely, and fami- centered [1,2]. In the following pages, these changes in our specialty are discussed in greater scope and detail, offering the reader fresh insight into not only where we came from, but also where we are going as a specialty.…
