Description
This book provides the basis needed for a dialogue between intensivists and emergency surgeons regarding the management and monitoring of acute care surgery (ACS) patients who require Intensive Care Unit (ICU) admission. It puts forward a practical approach to the treatment of common emergencies in daily clinical practice, and shares essential information on the treatment and monitoring of hemodynamic, respiratory, metabolic and neurological problems related to acute surgical patients requiring ICU admission. Furthermore, it includes two chapters regarding diagnostic and interventional radiology (fundamentals in daily emergency clinical practice), and addresses important issues such as ethics, mass casualty care, and care in low-resource settings. As such, the book not only offers a valuable guide for all practicing surgeons and intensivists, but is also relevant for residents and fellows who are newcomers to ACS.
Reviews
This book is so amazing to have when you’re on the wards. As a medical student, it has been invaluable to me being on the medicine wards. It has so much information in it, especially the specifics. For instance, you may know generally what the treatment is for something, but the exact dosing and whatnot are clearly written out for you in this book. It’ll make you look like a superstar with your attendings. It’s also a great conversation piece because many of the attendings and residents will recall using the same book and talk about how great it is. It’s definitely saved me quite a few times and I highly recommend this!
