From the reviews:
„No other condition that afflicts critically ill individuals has captured the interest of clinical researchers as much as sepsis and its dreaded complication, septic shock. … what probably began as a well-meaning attempt to collate our current knowledge on sepsis into a concise volume ended up as an easy-to-read, relatively succinct review of the pathophysiology and treatment of acute pulmonary conditions in critically ill individuals. … it is a digestible compendium on the causes and treatment of respiratory conditions on critically ill individuals.“ (Guillermo Gutierrez, Respiratory Care, Vol. 50 (9), 2005)
Sepsis or septic shock is a type of condition/infection which represents one of the leading post-surgical or post-traumatic complications. Sepsis is the major cause of morbidity and mortality in intensive care units worldwide. Also, sepsis is the leading cause of death in non-coronary patients, with pulmonary sepsis accounting for most cases as it relates to lung dysfunction.
This is a concise, practical softcover volume devoted to covering only the most practical information for physicians. Charts, tables, and other figures are used to illustrate easy-to-follow treatment guidelines for those professionals who regularly treat patients in the ICU.
