Description
This book is open access under a CC BY 4.0 license. It constitutes a unique source of knowledge and guidance for all healthcare workers who care for patients with sepsis and septic shock in resource-limited settings.More than eighty percent of the worldwide deaths related to sepsis occur in resource-limited settings in low and middle-income countries. Current international sepsis guidelines cannot be implemented without adaptations towards these settings, mainly because of the difference in local resources and a different spectrum of infectious diseases causing sepsis. This prompted members of the Global Intensive Care working group of the European Society of Intensive Care Medicine (ESICM) and the Mahidol-Oxford Tropical Medicine Research Unit (MORU, Bangkok, Thailand) – among which the Editors – to develop with an international group of experts a comprehensive set of recommendations for the management of sepsis in resource-limited settings. Recommendations are based on both current scientific evidence and clinical experience of clinicians working in resource-limited settings. The book includes an overview chapter outlining the current challenges and future directions of sepsis management as well as general recommendations on the structure and organization of intensive care services in resource-limited settings. Specific recommendations on the recognition and management of patients with sepsis and septic shock in these settings are grouped into seven chapters. The book provides evidence-based practical guidance for doctors in low and middle income countries treating patients with sepsis, and highlights areas for further research and discussion.
Reviews
Review “This is one of the best books for walking beginning therapists and supervisors through the origination of family therapy and the many applications of it. Cases skillfully placed throughout the text help readers understand how each modern and postmodern approach facilitates change. Additionally, readers learn how to apply cultural humility and respect for social locations throughout the therapeutic process.” Jennifer Hodgson, PhD, LMFT, Professor and Program Director, Medical Family Therapy Doctoral Program, Department of Human Development & Family Science, East Carolina University “Hanna again provides a succinct, well-integrated, and contemporary overview of family therapy practice. This text draws thoughtfully on systemic origins and maps them to emerging ideas, research-informed strategies, and practical issues very frequently encountered in clinical practice. The book is brimming with realistic scenarios and thought-provoking questions; it is a vivid and very useful first look into the world of couples and family therapy.” Jeff Todahl, PhD, Co-Director & Director of Research, Center for the Prevention of Abuse & Neglect, University of Oregon
