Buch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This book aims to provide a next-step in resuscitation care compared to the standard Advanced life support (ALS) guidelines of the European Resuscitation Council (ERC) or the American heart association (AHA), the trauma care guidelines for Advanced Trauma Life Support (ATLS) and the European Trauma Course (ETC) guidelines. Compared to these guidelines, Expert life support provides a more in-depth discussion of topics not extensively discussed in existing guidelines, and it also covers (relatively) new techniques and concepts, such as endovascular resuscitation and physiology-guided resuscitation.The overall aim of the book is to provide acute care providers from various backgrounds (pre-hospital as well as in-hospital) and various disciplines with up-to-date, evidence-based guidance on the (advanced) management of critically ill patients. In its chapters, the Author aims to describe treatment options for the initial treatment of critically ill patients in a concise- and accessible way, based on the most recent literature. Short summaries are provided after each chapter.This book aims to close the gap between professions, by integrating knowledge from various disciplines and focusing on the patient and his/her condition in the first hours of his/her illness, thereby contributing to an improved team knowledge and CRM of multidisciplinary trauma- and resuscitation teams caring for our sickest patients. The text is comprehensive and although the book is aimed at a target audience of mainly physicians working in critical care disciplines, it is also addressed to specialist nurses and (EMS) paramedics working in critical care disciplines (ED, ITU, anesthesia, HEMS), as well.
