This book provides insights into the care of cancer patients in the
intensive care unit in a comprehensive manner. It provides an
evidence-based approach to practitioners and postgraduate students to
understand about the critical care needs of the patients suffering from
malignancies. It helps the readers to develop critical thinking and
encourage discussion towards improving the overall care of the patients
and their families as their optimal management requires expertise in
oncology, critical care, and palliative medicine and there is a dearth
of books explaining about the special requirements and critical care
needs of cancer patients.
Each chapter is prepared by an expert in the field and contains
well-prepared illustrations, flowcharts and relevant images. Chapters
include latest evidence-based information which is useful for the
readers.
The book is useful for residents, fellows and trainees in the field of
onco-anaesthesia, onco-critical care, onco-surgery, critical care and
anaesthesia; practitioners and consultants in anaesthesia and
onco-anaesthesia as well as intensivist, critical care experts and
postgraduates in nursing.
