Previous editions have established this Manual of Intensive Care Medicine as a leading source of information in the ever-evolving, diverse and complicated field of critical care and intensive care medicine. The practical format and user-friendly, portable size of the Manual, have made it a particularly valuable aid in the bedside practice of intensive care and a valuable reference for students, interns, residents, fellows and others practicing in the critical care medicine environment.
As in the previous edition of this work, the fifth edition of the Manual of Intensive Care Medicine is intended to parallel major textbook Irwin and Rippe's Intensive Care Medicine. This latter, hardcover book is now in its sixth edition and continues to be a leading source of intensive care knowledge both in the United States and throughout the world.
The fifth edition of the Manual of Intensive Care Medicine continues the user-friendly, outline format that began to employ in the last edition to try to give busy house officers more direct and immediate access to the information that they need to manage complicated and time-sensitive issues of the practice of critical care medicine. As in previous editions, the authors emphasize salient concepts and focus on key, clinically relevant points. Annotated references are provided at the close of each chapter to guide the interested reader through key articles in the relevant literature.
The Manual of Intensive Care Medicine opens with an extensive section on Procedures and Techniques. The next seven sections are divided according to organ systems. In each chapter within these sections, discussions of key conditions that present in the intensive care or coronary care unit environments are presented together with targeted discussions focusing on treatment. Section IX presents a review of key considerations in “Pharmacology, Overdoses and Poisonings” recognizing that these remain important areas in intensive care.
As in the previous edition, there are extensive sections on surgical issues in critical care such as shock and trauma. The Manual closes with sections on Neurology, Transplantation, Rheumatology and Immunology, Psychiatry, and Moral, Ethical, Legal and Public Policy Issues in Intensive Care—all of which are crucial to a comprehensive view of adult intensive care medicine.
