Analysis of the evidence supporting lung-protective mechanical ventilation strategies, including the use of lower tidal volumes, to prevent ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI) in patients with and without ARDS. The content reviews historical practices, animal models, and key clinical trials (e.g., ARDS Network) linking MV practices to patient outcomes and multiple organ dysfunction.
This book addresses the specific challenges and management strategies for mechanical ventilation in critically ill obese patients, highlighting the increasing prevalence of obesity-associated cardio-respiratory disorders and conditions like obesity hypoventilation syndrome.
A comprehensive clinical manual covering all aspects of intensive care medicine, designed for consultants, trainees, and healthcare professionals working in critical care units.
This volume is part of the 'Lessons from the ICU' series, published under the auspices of the European Society of Intensive Care Medicine (ESICM). The aim of the series is to provide focused and state-of-the-art reviews of central topics in Intensive Care, specifically covering hemodynamic monitoring. It serves as an excellent guide for residents new to the ICU, senior consultants, nurses, and allied healthcare professionals, detailing pathophysiological background, diagnosis, and treatment, with practical examples and 'Take Home Messages'.
This book aims to clarify the fundamental concepts of mechanical ventilation, which is described as one of the most complex and integral aspects of critical care medicine. It addresses common misconceptions stemming from inconsistent nomenclature and emphasizes the importance of monitoring and adjusting the ventilator in concert with the patient’s respiratory system.
A comprehensive handbook covering the methods and therapy for critical care and critical illness, intended for medical professionals in the intensive care setting.
A concise guide detailing the roles and treatment modalities of physiotherapists in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU), covering cardiopulmonary function optimization, early mobilization, secretion management via suction, manual hyperinflation (MHI), ventilator hyperinflation (VHI), and recruitment maneuvers.
Comprehensive manual on Intensive Care Medicine covering the pathophysiology, clinical diagnosis, monitoring, and therapeutic approaches for critically ill adult patients, widely used in Latin American medical education.
A comprehensive set of study notes detailing the general principles of hemodynamic monitoring, focusing specifically on indirect methods, including sphygmomanometry, proper cuff sizing, the auscultation (Korotkoff) method, and the oscillometric method of blood pressure measurement.
A comprehensive pocket manual designed for critical care professionals, covering the diagnosis and management of severe conditions across multiple systems, including neurological emergencies (stroke, TBI, status epilepticus), cardiovascular crises (ACS, arrhythmias, shock), pulmonary failure (ARDS, mechanical ventilation), GI bleeding, hepatic failure, and endocrine and toxicological emergencies (DKA, poisoning).
This BAPM Framework provides guidelines for the assessment and management of bilious vomiting in the newborn, a symptom often raising concerns about malrotation/volvulus. It suggests a care pathway for term and preterm infants and outlines minimum standards for radiological support for various neonatal units (NICUs, LNUs, and SCUs).
A multiple-choice question summative examination covering advanced topics in Neuroanatomy, Neuroembryology, and basic neurophysiology. Topics include the development of the CNS, structure of the spinal cord, cerebral ventricles (Fornix, Hippocampus), arterial supply, and gross anatomy (e.g., sternocleidomastoid muscle and brainstem).
This chapter details the public health approach necessary for the management of epidemics and pandemics. It outlines the core role of public health authorities in prevention, preparedness, and response, defines key epidemiological terms (sporadic, endemic, epidemic, pandemic), and discusses the importance of leveraging modern practices like genomic sequencing and data analytics alongside traditional epidemiology. It also emphasizes the required collaboration among various public health authorities and international organizations like the World Health Organization.
