This excellent value pack contains the Oxford Handbook of Critical Care
Third Edition and Emergencies in Critical Care Second Edition. The
combination of practical advice and essential background information
with an easily accessible guide in emergencies presents a unique package
essential to every doctor with an interest in Critical Care.
The fully revised, third edition of the Oxford Handbook of Critical
Care describes best practice of critical care in a succinct, concise
and clinically-orientated way. Covering the principles of general
management, it includes therapeutic and monitoring devices, specific
disorders of organ systems, as well as detailed information on drugs and
fluids. New material has been added on key areas such as airway
maintenance, dressing techniques, infection control, echocardiography,
tissue perfusion monitoring, coma and more. With up-to-date references
and invaluable clinical advice, there is also plenty of space to add
notes or amend sections to suit local protocols.
Emergencies in Critical Care provides a practical, accessible guide to
all emergency situations encountered in the critical care setting.
Emergencies are very common in the critical care setting; but also
surprisingly predictable. This book helps critical care staff identify
those at risk, how to manage them, and be prepared in the ward. This
second edition covers new areas of importance, including sections on how
to deal with adverse events and critical incidents involving critically
ill patients, patient-safety and improved patient rescue packages, and
on the practicalities of infection control procedures. Normal values
have been combined into one short chapter for easy reference. Easy to
use and evidence based, this book will help all critical care staff
involved with the management of emergencies, from the new junior doctor
to the experienced consultant in a portable and easily-readable
format.
