Scribe Publications Every Deep-Drawn Breath: an intensive-care
Book SynopsisAn intensive-care doctor reveals the long-term problems caused by ICUs, and how these can be prevented. Thousands of people are admitted to intensive-care units (ICUs) every day, and this is only increasing with the Covid-19 pandemic. Most of these admissions will be sudden, unexpected, and harrowing — an experience that can alter patients and their families in physical, emotional, and spiritual ways, with effects that endure for years. But there is hope. Dr Ely is a leading ICU doctor. His unconventional methods minimise patients being harmed by the cutting-edge technologies that are saving their lives; post–intensive care syndrome (PICS) is a well-established complication that millions of ICU survivors battle, which Dr Ely aims to eradicate. His cutting-edge studies have convinced doctors around the world to change their ICU practices for the better. Through captivating stories, Dr Ely shows how he and colleagues from around the world have re-introduced humanity into the ICU, creating pathways that bring hope and healing to healthcare. This is the future of medicine, and is a must-read for healthcare professionals, patients, and their families.Trade Review‘A stunning, heartbreaking, and hopeful book, expressing Dr Ely's profound union of compassion and medical skill. Given that most of us will stay in an ICU, attend a loved one there, or even die in one, I hope that many readers demand treatment according to the humane practices Dr Ely has pioneered. I equally hope that every critical-care doctor and hospital administrator reads this beautiful book, puts its protocols into practice, and makes their ICUs more humane and medically effective.’ -- Katy Butler, author of Knocking on Heaven’s Door‘Every Deep-Drawn Breath is an enthralling journey through the ongoing evolution of critical care. In this richly illustrated book, with stories of people who teetered on the edge of death and survived to find their lives forever changed, Dr Ely, a thought leader in his field, reveals hard lessons he’s learned, innovations he’s led, and his compelling, bright vision for the future of medicine.’ -- Dr Ira Byock, active emeritus professor at Dartmouth Geisel School of Medicine, author of Dying Well and The Best Care Possible, founder and chief medical officer of the Institute for Human Caring‘Through rich and remarkable accounts of caring for patients in the ICU, Dr Wes Ely places the humanistic mission of medicine front and centre, where it belongs, in this outstanding book.’ -- Dr Eric Topol, professor at Scripps Research, author of Deep Medicine‘A remarkable book from a legendary physician. Dr Ely revolutionised critical care and now, through stories that are intimate, honest, and brave, he reveals the failings and the great promise of the field. This could not be more timely — in the wake of a pandemic that challenged the humanity of our profession, Ely shows us the road forward. A must read.’ -- Dr Daniela Lamas, author of You Can Stop Humming Now: a doctor’s stories of life, death, and in between‘Every Deep-Drawn Breath is a beautiful, honest gem. If you’re interested in the wild world of the ICU, in the interface between nature and human nature, in how medicine (at its best) learns from good intentions gone awry, in the difference between in vitro and in vivo, or in how a good doctor becomes great, here is the book for you. I’m grateful to Dr Ely for his candour and his storytelling.’ -- Dr B. J. Miller, author of A Beginner’s Guide to the End‘Thanks to Dr Wes Ely and his colleagues, help is on the way for ICU patients, as well as the healthcare professionals who care for them. Every Deep-Drawn Breath is a must read for anyone who may someday be impacted by an ICU, which means all of us.’ -- Dr Jessica Zitter, MPH, author of Extreme Measures‘The ICU is an important, mysterious character in the story of modern medicine, and Every Deep-Drawn Breath is its deeply felt, thoroughly researched biography. With compassion, grit, and grace, Dr Ely takes us into this liminal space and shows us, through the stories of his patients and his life, what it means to mobilise technology to save lives while also confronting the unintended pain and suffering that ICU care can inflict. This book illuminates the humanism, heroism, and humility required to stand with people at life’s edge, and reminds us to seek meaning and purpose in the life we have, a life sustained by each breath we take.’ -- Dr Sunita Puri, author of That Good Night: life and medicine in the eleventh hour‘In this fascinating and eye-opening book, Wes Ely makes the radical argument that we should be helping critically ill patients stay awake and engaged, not routinely sedating them into unconsciousness. Combining dogged research, intense reflection, and page-turning stories, Dr Ely reminds us that we have to treat the patient, not just the disease.’ -- Dr Danielle Ofri, PhD, Clinical Professor of Medicine at NYU School of Medicine, and author of When We Do Harm‘With the storytelling sensibilities of Oliver Sacks and the surgical precision of Atul Gawande, Dr Wes Ely has given us an unforgettable journey of patients and doctors travelling in the disorienting world of intensive care, ultimately leading toward redemption for Dr Ely himself. Required reading for all mortals. If you liked When Breath Becomes Air, you will love this book.’ -- Dr Angelo Volandes, author of The Conversation: a revolutionary plan for end-of-life care‘A treasure trove of hard-won wisdom. Reading Every Deep-Drawn Breath is like getting a backstage pass to the cloistered world of medical science. A gifted storyteller, Wes Ely brings his humanity to every moment, inspiring us to re-examine our own beliefs and re-imagine what is possible. He has seamlessly woven together the private stories behind the very public successes and failures of our well-intentioned ICU care. Illuminating and generous, he revisits with humility the pivotal moments of his career in this wise gift of a book.’ -- Dr Rana Awdish, author of In Shock: my journey from death to recovery and the redemptive power of hope‘Every Deep Drawn Breath deserves a wide and deep readership … it summons physicians to seek relief for their patients’ endemic suffering, but not by standard yet short-sighted procedures that ignore post-ICU torment. On the contrary, doctors must humbly recognise their own limits, indeed their inevitable mistakes. Precisely and ever so admirably, this is what Wes Ely has done.’ -- Ralph C. Wood, Emeritus Professor of Theology and Literature at Baylor University‘Ely, a critical care doctor, debuts with a remarkable look at transformations in ICU care … This humble — and humbling — look at the limits and potential of medicine will stick with readers.’ * Publishers Weekly, starred review *‘In this dynamic, often touching debut, the author chronicles a personal, passionate return to the ethical heart of the Hippocratic oath. In addition to a timeline of the ICU and its history of medical innovations, Ely details a succession of individual bedside narratives … The author effectively illuminates the daily pressures placed on caregivers … Ely also provides a thoughtful exploration of the ICU treatment culture of sedation and immobilisation, and analyses how it can be recentred around a core value of “humanity in doctoring” … As Ely conveys through anecdotes and experience, physicians can maximise their knowledge by focusing on, listening to, and learning from their patients. Meaningful, thought-provoking insight into the world of critical care.’ * Kirkus Reviews *‘An intensely emotive journey through the science and history of the intensive care unit … Every Deep-Drawn Breath is a paragon of humanity that will have lasting positive effects.’ * The Lancet *‘[A] powerful new book … provides true insight into what can be accomplished with humility, perseverance, dedication and above all else, love.’ * Intima: a journal of narrative medicine *‘Timely.’ * St. Louis Post-Dispatch *‘With its vivid observations and heartfelt tone, Every Deep-Drawn Breath is a joy to read. Ely’s passion for his patients leaps from the pages, inspiring readers to channel Ely’s humility and love for life to brighten the future of medicine, and mankind.’ * The Federalist *

Springer Nature Switzerland AG Anesthesia for Hepatico-Pancreatic-Biliary
Book SynopsisThis concise, accessible book covers anesthesia for hepatico-pancreatic-biliary (HPB) surgery and transplantation, based on randomized clinical trials, meta-analyses, case series, reports, and hands-on experience. The anatomy, physiology, pathophysiology and clinical consequences are discussed, and the close ties between HPB resection and transplant anesthesia are explored. The content reflects current real-world practice, as liver and pancreatic transplant surgeries have substantially improved in terms of blood-loss reduction, fast tracking and reduced risk. The book also addresses anesthetic aspects in connection with the recently introduced and rapidly expanding practice of laparoscopic surgery; with enhanced recovery; and with pancreatic surgery. Anesthesia for Hepatico-Pancreatic-Biliary Surgery and Transplantation is intended for aspiring HPB and transplant anesthetists, anesthesia trainees, and consultants with experience in HPB anesthesia who want to see whether or not they’re up to date on the current standards. Trade Review“The editors and publishers have aimed this book at a wider audience than just those specializing in liver transplant and specialist hepatobiliary anesthesia. … This book is at its best when recounting the authors’ real-world practice, which feels up-to-date and evidence-based. Anesthesia for Hepatico-Pancreatic-Biliary Surgery and Transplantation will be a welcome addition to the shelves of the world’s transplant centers, but it should also find a home on less lofty shelves.” (Nicholas Weston and David W. Hewson, Anesthesia & Analgesia, Vol. 132 (6), June, 2021)“This book makes an excellent read not only for the budding hepato-pancreato-biliary anaesthetists amongst us, but also as a worthy aide memoire for those experienced in HPB anaesthesia who want to see whether they are up to date with the current standards.” (Ned Gilbert-Kawai, EJA European Journal of Anaesthesiology, Vol. 38 (5), 2021)Table of ContentsPart 1: Anatomy and Physiology of the Liver.- 1.

Springer Nature Switzerland AG Reducing Mortality in Critically Ill Patients
Book SynopsisThe 2nd edition of this book describes the recent techniques, strategies, and drugs that have been demonstrated by multicenter randomized trials to influence survival in critically ill, defined as those who have acute failure of at least one organ, due to either a pathological condition or a medical intervention, and require intensive care treatment. Each chapter focuses on a specific procedure, device, or drug. The scope is accordingly wide, with coverage of topics as diverse as noninvasive mechanical ventilation, protective ventilation, prone positioning, intravenous salbutamol in ARDS, high-frequency oscillatory ventilation, mild hypothermia after cardiac arrest, daily interruption of sedatives, tranexamic acid, diaspirin cross-linked hemoglobin, albumin, growth hormone, glutamine supplementation, tight glucose control, supranormal oxygen delivery, and hydroxyethyl starch in sepsis. The topics selection was performed with the help of hundreds of specialists from dozens of countries; they expressed via web if they agreed or not with these topics and if they used them in their daily clinical practice. The clear text is supported by "how to do" sections and "key point" boxes that provide easily accessible practical information. Written by acknowledged international experts, Reducing Mortality in Critically Ill Patients is of interest for a wide variety of specialists, including intensivists, emergency doctors, and anesthesiologists.Table of ContentsThe process of consensus building.- Non-invasive ventilation.- High Flow Nasal Cannulae.- Restrictive inspiratory oxygen fraction.- Mechanical ventilation.- Early tracheostomy.- Pharmacological Managment of cardiac arrest.- Non pharmacological Managment of cardiac arrest.- Avoidance of deep sedation.- Hydrocortisone in sepsis; Goal directed therapy.- Levosimendan in cardiogenic shock and low cardiac output syndrome.- Drugs in myocardial infarction.- Tranexamic acid in trauma patients.- Procalcitonin-guided antibiotic discontinuation.- Selective decontamination of digestive tract.- Nutrition.- ECMO.- Ultrasound.- Alternative medicine.- Interventions increasing mortality.- Conflicting.- Latest evidences.

Springer Nature Switzerland AG Mechanical Ventilation from Pathophysiology to
Book SynopsisThis book aims to give a comprehensive overview of the current challenges and solution posed to the health care professionals who need to use mechanical ventilation to treat their patients.Mechanical ventilation is a cornerstone of the treatment of critically ill patients, as also dramatically underlined by the recent COVID-19 pandemic. The topic is not simple to approach, since it requires integration of multiple data which, in turn, result from complex interplays between patient’s condition and ventilatory settings. While technological development empowered advanced monitoring and decision support, these also increase the burden of data on the practitioners. Furthermore, considering that sometimes mechanical ventilation is seen under two, apparently opposite, approaches, “physiology vs. protocols”, the book aims to reconcile these two aspects. And this has been done by each author following the above trajectory in their chapters. The exposure of the topic begins from the “pathophysiology” (i.e. the “physiology of the disease”) so that the reader can better understand the concept and rationale of any given approach. At the same time, any rationale or hypothesis (for as much as supported by physiology) must hold at the proof of clinical research and evidence, which is summarized in each chapter.In summary, the purposes is that the readers understand not only which is the best clinical practice to adopt but also why and which mechanisms this is based upon and how to approach a novel issue they might encounter. The book – addressed to physicians, nurses and respiratory therapist – features chapters on “novel” or “hot” topics like, obviously, COVID-19, ECMO, but also MV in low resource setting.Table of ContentsPart 1.

Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH & Co. KG Whole Body Ultrasonography in the Critically Ill
Book SynopsisOver the past two decades it has been increasingly recognized that whole-body ultrasound is an invaluable tool in the critically ill. In addition to offering rapid whole-body assessment, it has the advantage of being a bedside approach that is available at all times and can be repeated at will. Accordingly, it permits the immediate institution of appropriate therapeutic management. Whole-Body Ultrasound in the Critically Ill is the sequel to the author’s previous books on the subject, which were first published in French in 1992 and 2002 and in English in 2004. This new volume reflects the latest state of knowledge by including a variety of improvements, revised definitions, and updated algorithms. Findings in respect of individual organs are clearly presented, and a particular feature is the in-depth coverage of the lungs, traditionally regarded as an area unsuitable for ultrasound. Throughout, the emphasis is on the practical therapeutic impact of the technique. Its value in a variety of settings, including unexplained shock, management of hemodynamic instability, acute respiratory failure (the BLUE protocol), and the critically ill neonate, is carefully explained. Interventional ultrasound and less widely recognized applications, such as mesenteric infarction, pneumoperitoneum, and intracranial hypertension, are also described. Pitfalls of the technique receive due attention. Today, whole-body ultrasound touches upon every area of critical care. This book, from the chief pioneer in the field, shows that the technique enables critical care physicians to detect therapeutically relevant signs easily and quickly. It will serve as an invaluable guide to the practice of a form of visual medicine.Trade ReviewFrom the reviews:“Intensivists or radiologists with an interest in critical care applications of ultrasound are the intended audience for this work, edited by one of the fathers of critical care ultrasound. … This edition expands coverage of the abdomen and vascular system and increases the emphasis on the evaluation of deep venous thrombosis, pleural effusion, interstitial disease, and pneumothorax. … Chapters are written in a conversational style. … this remains an effective overview for intensivists.” (David J.

Elsevier - Health Sciences Division Psychotic Disorders
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.

Springer International Publishing AG Operative Techniques and Recent Advances in Acute
Book SynopsisThe aim of this book is to identify and shed new light on the main surgical practices involved in acute care and trauma surgery. Adopting an evidence-based approach, a multidisciplinary team of surgeons and intensivists illustrate basic and advanced operative techniques, accompanied by a comprehensive and updated reference collection. Emerging surgical procedures in Acute Care Surgery are also explored step by step with the help of ample illustrations. Further, the book offers an overview of treatment options for acute organ failure, with a focus on peculiar clinical situations that call for special treatment, including: extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), circulatory support and urgent liver transplantation. In order to identify the key determinants in decision-making and therapeutic support that can help avoid critical errors, authors not only define and discuss specific surgical techniques, but also present major issues and controversies related to it. In essence, the book can be considered a “What to do guide” that offers easy access to both basic and advanced lifesaving surgical procedures, due in part to text boxes highlighting “Tips, Tricks and Pitfalls” as well as advice on “Complications Management”. Many chapters are enriched by providing clinical case scenarios, an important educational resource including self–assessment questionnaires.Trade Review“Senior trainees and providers are an appropriate audience. … This book is an effective combination of the evolution in European thinking with considered inclusion of the North American approach to trauma care. The scope is expansive and reference lists feature major contributions from both North America and Europe. … this book adequately presents the growing number of techniques and treatment strategies available to acute care surgeons.” (David J.

Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH & Co. KG Hochkalorische parenterale Ernährung
Book SynopsisDie parenterale Ernährung hat in den letzten 15 Jahren eine stürmische Entwicklung durchgemacht und muß heute als fester Bestandteil der therapeutischen Medizin an gesehen werden. Ausreichende Kenntnisse über die technischen Möglichkeiten dieser Therapie, die Auswirkungen ihrer einzelnen Bausteine auf den Stoffwechsel des Kran ken sowie ihre Risiken sollten zum Rüstzeug jedes klinisch tätigen Arztes gehören. Es kann heute keine Entschuldigung mehr dafür geben, daß der Nahrungsbedarf eines Kranken ungedeckt bleibt, nur weil er nicht mehr in der Lage ist, oral genügend Nah rung aufzunehmen. Die Standardinfusionstherapie, üblicherweise bestehend aus 2 bis 3 Liter Elek trolyt-Aminosäuren- oder niedrigprozentigen Kohlenhydratlösungen unterscheidet sich von der hochkalorischen parenteralen Ernährung vor allem durch die Osmolarität des Infusionsgemisches und dem Zugangsweg. Bei der Standardtherapie ist der peri phere Zugang die Regel und ein Verlust an Struktur- oder Funktionsproteinen wird bewußt in Kauf genommen, da eine ausreichende Energiezufuhr zur Verstoffwechse lung der zugeführten Aminosäuren nicht möglich ist, ohne Schäden an der Venen wand hervorzurufen. Durch die hochkalorische parenterale Ernährung werden, wobei der zentrale Venenkatheter eine Grundvoraussetzung ist, dem Kranken hochprozen tige Kohlenhydratlösungen, Fette und Aminosäuren in einer Größenordnung verab reicht, die nicht nur seinen aktuellen Bedarf decken, sondern auch vorbestehende Mangelzustände ausgleichen können. Die Kathetertechnik und die Entwicklung der Infusionslösungen befindet sich auf einem so hohen Stand, daß eine parenterale Versorgung des Organismus mit Nährstoffen auch über Monate hinweg möglich ist. Besondere Beobachtungen erfuhr in der letzten Zeit die Anwendung der hoch kalorischen parenteralen Ernährung bei den entzündlichen Darmerkrankungen und in der Onkologie.Table of ContentsGrundlagen der hochkalorischen parenteralen Ernährung.- Meßgrößen zur Definition des Ernährungszustandes als Voraussetzung einer Ernährungstherapie.- Zur Frage der Wertigkeit der Erhebung des Ernährungszustandes bei Malignompatienten.- Technik und Komplikationen des zentralen Venenkatheters zur hochkalorischen parenteralen Ernährung.- Sicherung des Proteinbestandes als Voraussetzung einer effizienten Ernährungstherapie.- Aminosäuren- und Eiweißstoffwechsel bei beatmeten Polytraumatisierten unter hochkalorischer parenteraler Ernährung.- Stickstoffbilanz und Serumaminosäurenkonzentration bei polytraumatisierten Patienten unter totaler parenteraler Ernährung und Zufuhr von Wachstumshormon.- Das Verhalten der freien Plasmaaminosäuren während langfristiger totaler parenteraler Ernährung.- Umsatzkapazitäten und Nebenwirkungen von Zuckern und Polyolen bei parenteraler Applikation.- Der postoperative Stoffwechsel — Unterschiede bei prä- und postoperativem Beginn der totalen parenteralen Ernährung.- Funktion und Stellenwert von Neutralfett in der Ernährungstherapie.- Vergleich von Stoffwechselwirkungen bei zwei verschiedenen Fettemulsionen während parenteraler Zufuhr.- Parenterale Ernährung bei entzündlichen Darmerkrankungen.- Totale parenterale Ernährung bei der Behandlung chronisch entzündlicher Darmerkrankungen.- Hochkalorische parenterale Ernährung als Operationsvorbereitung bei Colitis ulcerosa und Ileocolitis granulomatosa Crohn.- Totale parenterale Ernährung als Primärtherapie des Morbus Crohn.- Parenterale oder elementar-orale Ernährung bei kompliziertem Morbus Crohn?

Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH & Co. KG The Open Packing — Laparostomy —: In Pancreatitis
Book SynopsisThe continued high mortality (up to 70 %) in patients with necro- tizing pancreatitis and diffuse peritonitis has led to the develop- ment of various surgical strategies within the past few decades. Up to the present decisions about the management of these disea- ses have been rather difficult because of the individual courses differ considerably, even being incomparable. Today, as a result of our in creased knowledge of the pathophysiology, the impro- ved imaging procedures, and the standaridized intensive care, the rend is moving toward delayed surgical intervention. The goals in the surgical treatment of necrotizing pancreatitis and diffuse peritonitis are still surgical removal of the focus of infection, elimination of endotoxins by lavage, and optimal drainage of the peritoneal cavity. Depending on the patient's general condition this cannot always be achieved in the first surgi- cal intervention. A number of surgical methods have therefore been developed, such as postoperative dorsoventral lavage, step- by-step lavage therapy, postoperative closed continuous perito- neal lavage, and open treatment (laparostomy). The last-mentioned method ist not new; it was first described by KOR'J;E in 1894 for the treatment of necrotizing pancreatitis. However, due to the progress in intensive care medicine (long- term respiratory therapy, hemofiltration, etc.) in the last few years this method of management has become successful and gai- ned in recognition.Table of ContentsI.

Springer Verlag GmbH Clinical Neurophysiology in Disorders of Consciousness: Brain Function Monitoring in the ICU and Beyond
Book SynopsisOver the past two decades, electrophysiology has undergone unprecedented changes thanks to technical improvements, which simplify measurement and analysis and allow more compact data storage. This book covers in detail the spectrum of electrophysiology applications in patients with disorders of consciousness. Its content spans from clinical aspects of the management of subjects in the intensive care unit, including EEG, evoked potentials and related implications in terms of prognosis and patient management to research applications in subjects with ongoing consciousness impairment. While the first section provides up-to-date information for the interested clinician, the second part highlights the latest developments in this exciting field. The book comprehensively combines clinical and research information related to neurophysiology in disorder-of- consciousness patients, making it an easily accessible reference for neuro-ICU specialists, epileptologists and clinical neurophysiologists as well as researchers utilizing EEG and event-related potentials.Trade Review“This book takes an in-depth look at neurophysiologic modalities that may be used in the assessment of disorders of consciousness. … This book is concise and easily interpretable and will appeal to clinicians that care for patients with disorders of consciousness in the acute and chronic states. … Each chapter is well cited, with appropriate use of older and newer references. … This book should serve for a reference guide for any clinician caring for patients with disorders of consciousness.” (Amy Z. Crepeau, Journal of Clinical Neurophysiology, Vol. 32 (6), December, 2015)“This is a review of electroencephalography and evoked potentials in both critical care and subacute settings. … New providers treating patients with neurological illnesses and senior practitioners who wish to have a concise monograph to review recent developments in clinical neurophysiology will find this book a worthy introduction. … This is an excellent primer for the important horizon of neurological monitoring and prognostication.” (David J.

Springer Acid-Base Regulation and Body Temperature
Book SynopsisDuring the last 20 years two groups of investigators have concerned themselves with the problem of acid-base regulation at various body temperatures. Each group, in professional isolation, pursued a separate path. Surgeons and anesthe tists developed techniques and tools for hypothermic cardio-pulmonary by-pass operations and based their rationale for acid-base management on in vitro models of blood behavior. Physiologists and biochemists, on the other hand, endeavored to understand acid-base regulation in living organisms naturally subjected to changes in body temperature. Only in the last decade has there been an increasing awareness that each group could benefit from the other's experiences. With this goal in mind members of both groups were invited to present their views and observations in the hope of arriving at a better understanding of acid-base management during hypothermia and gaining a greater insight into the factors which control acid-base regulation during normothermia. This led to the presen tation of the present volume with the aim of providing the clinician with a survey of present theories and the resulting strategies for management of the hypother mic patient.

University of California Press Intensive Care
Book SynopsisOffers an account of life in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) of a major inner-city hospital, San Francisco. This book presents the stories of patients who show up with myriad disorders: asthma, cardiac failure, gastrointestinal diseases, complications due to AIDS, the effects of drug and alcohol abuse, and, emphysema.Trade Review"[Intensive Care] faces the raw edge of urban living. It is in the daily detail of an ICU at work that Murray wonderfully depicts a place of function and dysfunction. Murray shows that the ICU is a place of small successes rather than triumphant victories."-Richard Horton, New York Review of Books; "Dr. Murray is an evenhanded guide to the real world of intensive care medicine. His book is informative, a necessary counterweight to the medical fiction of popular entertainment. It may not be something to read for entertainment, but it is important to read if we are to know what crisis medicine can and cannot do for us."-San Francisco Chronicle Book Review; "Takes the reader on his daily rounds at the intensive care unit (ICU) of the San Francisco General Hospital. Between realistic scenes of bedside medical diagnoses and analyses, we also encounter the ethical dilemmas confronting today's medical establishment and society. Recommended for its naturalistic picture of inner-city hospital medicine."-James Swanton, Library Journal
