Essential guide to acute care

"What you really need to know, but no one told you ..." "Starting with the concept of patients at risk, the Essential Guide to Acute Care explains how to recognise and manage the generic altered physiology that accompanies acute illness." "The principles of acute care are explained simply yet comprehensively. Throughout the book 'mini-tutorials' expand on the latest thinking or controversies, and practical case histories reinforce learning at the end of each chapter. The chapters are designed to be read by individuals or used for group tutorials in acute care." "Extensively rewritten and updated, this second edition is essential reading for anyone who looks after acutely ill adults, including: Foundation Programme trainees and trainers; trainees in medicine, surgery, anaesthesia and emergency medicine; final year medical students; and nursing staff and allied professionals working in critical care."--Jacket.
