This book serves as a quick reference and a guide as well as a means of confirming the accuracy of one's decisions at these times. The text includes commonly performed procedures, management approaches and frequently encountered diseases in a multidisciplinary intensive care unit.
The topics have been presented in a uniform pattern consisting of introductory comments relating to the understanding and practical management of the topic concerned, followed by a step-wise approach towards the management. Each step carries an explanation, so that the reader can understand the rationale for its existence. An extra effort has been put to answer the questions asked frequently by residents on daily rounds in ICU. The approach, the style, and the content of this book are the result of many years of clinical experience at the bedside, both managing and teaching the management of critically ill patients. These guidelines will be of immense help to the readers in understanding critical care.
This book will not only fulfil the requirements of a beginner admirably, but will be an excellent companion of the seasoned intensivist as well. The reader will easily be able to translate the knowledge imbibed from this book into practice.
