Case-based Review in Critical Care Medicine

Presented in a case-based, question and answer format, the text begins with guidance on patient examination in the intensive care unit (ICU). Each of the following chapters covers a different disorder, from acute severe asthma, pulmonary embolism and septic shock, to traumatic brain injury, acute liver failure and many more. The book concludes with cases examining out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, brain death and organ donation, as well as end-of-life care in the ICU.
