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).

The 2017 edition of the European Association of Urology (EAU) Guidelines are comprehensive, continuously updated guidelines available for urologists and related specialties. Produced by a dedicated Guidelines Office involving approximately 300 international experts, they are recognized worldwide as an important resource for clinical practice, medical education, and evidence-based methodology. This edition also includes new topics: Renal Transplantation and Thromboprophylaxis.
This text outlines the principles and techniques for eyelid reconstruction following defects caused by trauma, burns, congenital anomalies, or tumor removal. It covers critical concepts such as surgical decision-making, minimization of donor site morbidity, informed consent, and classification of repair methods, including various skin flaps (random, axial, island, free) and specific techniques like the Orbicularis Sandwich Flap. Special attention is given to thinking in zones and layers (skin, orbicularis, tarsus, conjunctiva) and managing medial and lateral canthal defects.
A highly detailed, comprehensive surgical reference providing expert step-by-step instruction on operative approaches for common and complex orthopaedic fractures and trauma.
This beautifully illustrated comprehensive surgical atlas describes procedures used to remove tumors mainly using anterior approaches. It provides detailed, meticulous descriptions of a variety of techniques tailored to the resection of tumors, both benign and malignant, that take origin in the nasal and paranasal sinus mucosa, nasopharynx, orbit, and palate with extension through the anterior and middle bony supports of the brain.
A copyright-free basic anesthesia manual intended for free use, copying, translation, and distribution in developing countries to promote fundamental anesthesia knowledge and skills. It serves as an introductory guide, not a replacement for comprehensive information.
All neurosurgeons must undergo rigorous training in the laboratory and practice bypass techniques repetitively before performing microneurosurgery on a patient. Microsurgical Basics and Bypass Techniques is a comprehensive yet succinct manual on fundamental laboratory techniques rarely included in clinical textbooks. The resource simplifies repetitive microsurgical practice in the laboratory by providing a menu of diverse, progressively challenging exercises. Step-by-step instructions accompanied by easy-to-understand illustrations, expert commentary, and videos effectively bridge the gap between laboratory practice and operating room performance. The book starts with an opening chapter on four founding principles of microsurgical practice inherited from great thinkers and concludes with a chapter featuring cerebrovascular bypass cases. Chapters 2-8 offer a complete one week curriculum, with a different lab exercise each day, focused on learning basic microsurgery skills.
