Book SynopsisDr. Paul L. Marino's concise, engaging writing style is just one of many reasons that Marino's The ICU Book is the best-selling reference in critical care. This highly regarded, full-color resource contains the essential information needed to care for patients in any ICU, regardless of the specialty designation of the unit. The newly revised Fifth Edition continues the focus on practical aspects of patient care and will appeal to anyone with an interest in the care of critically ill patients. The intended audience incudes medical students, interns and residents in medicine, surgery, and anesthesiology, critical care physicians and nurses, physician's assistants, respiratory therapists, and paramedics. Dr. Marino has been a practicing critical care specialist for 44 years, and the material in his book is a reflection of this vast experience. The text has been completely rewritten and incorporates the latest concepts and most recent clinical practice guidelines. Because this is a single-author text, the writing and style are consistent from chapter to chapter, and redundancies are held to a minimum. New chapters have been added on fluid management, approaches to clinical shock, acute pulmonary embolism,liver failure, and acute pancreatitis. As in prior editions, there are numerous illustrations and tables that highlight the material in the text, and each chapter ends with a section called A Final Word that presents a take-home message from the chapter. The text will be updated quarterly to include recently published guidelines and pertinent clinical studies.

Book SynopsisIntensive care medicine is a dynamic and evolving specialty, requiring its practitioners to be part physician, physiologist and anaesthetist. This requires a firm foundation of knowledge and an ability to apply this to the clinical situation. This book contains 270 multiple choice questions allowing self-assessment of the breadth of knowledge required of the modern intensivist. The book is divided into three papers each consisting of 60 multiple true false (MTF) and 30 single best answer (SBA) questions covering areas including resuscitation, diagnosis, disease management, organ support, and ethical and legal aspects of practice. The MTF questions test factual knowledge and understanding of the evidence base underpinning intensive care medicine, while the SBA questions test the ability of the candidate to prioritise, compete options and make the best decision for the patient. Each question is peer reviewed and accompanied by concise and detailed explanatory notes with references to guide further reading. All the authors are practising intensive care physicians with first-hand experience of professional examinations in the specialty. This book will appeal to intensive care physicians approaching professional examinations worldwide, including the European Diploma, American Board and Faculty of Intensive Care Medicine examinations. In addition, it will appeal to intensive care nurses and allied healthcare professionals wishing to update their knowledge as part of continuing professional development, and to physicians sitting professional examinations in related specialties requiring knowledge of intensive care medicine such as general medicine, general surgery and anaesthesia. This book will complement the existing international best-selling title "Multiple Choice Questions in Intensive Care Medicine" (9781903378 649), also written by Dr Steve Benington.

Book SynopsisThis book will provide 300 practice MCQs divided into three practice papers. Correct answers will follow, accompanied by short referenced notes drawing from recent important journal articles, major critical care textbooks and selected internet resources. Since there is no other dedicated intensive care MCQ book on the market, this book would be relevant to the following groups: junior intensive care trainees, senior intensive care nursing staff wishing to enhance their medical knowledge, intensive care consultants as a teaching aid and trainees preparing for professional examinations. This MCQ book will also be ideal in preparation for the European Diploma in Intensive Care Medicine (EDIC) Part 1 examination, as the questions will be matched as closely as possible in style and difficulty to those in the EDIC Part 1. The EDIC is an internationally recognised qualification for medical trainees in intensive care, set by the European Society for Intensive Care Medicine (ESICM). It is a two-part examination consisting of a 100-question multiple choice paper (Part 1) and a clinical and viva voce examination (Part 2). To ensure relevance, the questions will be designed with reference to the training syllabus provided by the ESICM.

Book SynopsisThe fifth edition of this popular textbook continues to provide a solid foundation of pharmacological knowledge for all those working in anaesthesia and intensive care. The content has been thoroughly revised to include expanded chapters with clearer figures, ensuring readers are kept abreast of the ever-changing landscape of clinical pharmacology. Conveniently divided into four sections covering the basic principles of pharmacology, core drugs in anaesthetic practice, cardiovascular drugs, and other important drugs and complemented by new diagrams, tables and chemical formulae to facilitate learning. All four chapters on core drugs in anaesthetic practice have been updated along with others exploring applied pharmacokinetic models, antimicrobials, and drugs used in diabetes. An ideal aid to study and practice for junior and trainee anaesthetists and intensive care specialists preparing for exams. Also an invaluable resource for theatre practitioners, ICU nurses and physicians working in areas that demand a solid knowledge of pharmacology.Trade Review'This outstanding book differentiates itself from others through its effective use of figures and diagrams that enhance learning. It is comprehensive and provides sufficient detail for the use of these medications. The information is not so overwhelming as to render it forgotten after reading. The inclusion of new anticoagulants and their reversal and the update on antibiotics make this new edition necessary.' Robert R. Gaiser, Doody's Notes'… an invaluable resource for anyone, both doctor or nurse/ODP working in anaesthesia and intensive care. Its well-written explanations on the topics offer easy to understand insight which will only benefit the reader and lead to a greater depth of knowledge.' Daniel Morgan, The Journal of Perioperative Practice'A pleasant surprise for the reader will be how easily these subsections flow as the authors keep the more detailed and in-depth information accessible and interesting by associating the concepts to relevant drugs … This book is useful for trainees preparing for examinations and for experienced practitioners as a shelf reference; it is well organised so that specific topics or drugs can be individually reviewed.'

Book SynopsisTrade Review"The editors have organized the text around a remarkable concept that five psychoses account for much of functional psychotic disorders. These five psychotic disorders have common causal factors that contribute to psychosis proneness. Three of these psychoses are already well recognized, and all five appear to be associated with a specific anxiety or depressive disorder. All this implies that neuroleptic treatment, when combined with properly specific anxiety and depression treatment, can make patients much better than with neuroleptics alone. Both editors have contributed to the supporting literature, but there is also a fascinating agenda for further research to explore and expand these concepts. When further documented by additional research, these diagnoses and treatments could have effects on psychotic disorder diagnosis and treatment that could be exceptional, if not ground-breaking. This is clearly a book that needs careful attention in a review, and a wide mental health audience." -- Ira D. Glick, M.D., Professor Emeritus of Psychiatry & Behavioral Sciences, Department of Psychiatry, Stanford University School of Medicine " Anxiety disorders have suffered relative neglect by psychiatry and psychopharmacology over the past several decades. Drs. Veras and Kahn have done the field a great service by putting together a volume that highlights the important overlap of these disorders, not just with mood disorders, but with schizophrenia spectrum illness as well. Psychotic Disorders will serve as a useful reminder of these under-appreciated comorbidities, in the service of more meaningful classification of psychoses and more effective treatment of those suffering from them." -- Edward Silberman, Professor of Psychiatry, Tufts University School of MedicineTable of Contents1.
