Description
Adult Critical Care Medicine: A Clinical Casebook (1st Edition, 2019) is a clinically focused reference that delivers a state-of-the-art overview of adult critical care medicine through a practical, case-based learning approach. Each chapter presents a realistic clinical scenario commonly encountered in the adult intensive care unit (ICU), guiding readers through diagnostic reasoning, management strategies, and evidence-based decision-making.
The case scenarios span a broad range of critical conditions, including seizures and acute intracranial hypertension, sepsis, acute and chronic liver failure, brain death determination, bleeding and thrombosis, and the management of hospital-acquired infections in the ICU. This structured approach helps clinicians translate theory into practice while strengthening problem-solving skills in high-acuity environments.
Authored by experts in critical care medicine, the book balances depth and clarity, providing concise yet comprehensive discussions aligned with current standards of care. Its case-based format supports active learning, making complex topics easier to understand and apply at the bedside.
Designed for critical care physicians, intensivists, anesthesiologists, internists, emergency medicine physicians, residents, and advanced practitioners, Adult Critical Care Medicine: A Clinical Casebook is an invaluable resource for improving clinical judgment, reinforcing best practices, and enhancing the care of critically ill adult patients.
