Bongard Frederic, Darryl Sue. Diagnosis and Treatment Critical Care

McGraw-Hill Medical, 2008 - 888 p.
LANGE CURRENT Series.
The third edition of Current Diagnosis & Treatment: Critical Care is designed to serve as a single-source reference for the adult critical care practitioner. The diversity of illnesses encountered in the critical care population necessitates a well-rounded and thorough knowledge of the manifestations and mechanisms of disease. In addition, unique to the discipline of critical care is the integration of an extensive body of medical knowledge that crosses traditional specialty boundaries. This approach is readily apparent to intensivists, whose primary background may be in internal medicine or one of its subspecialties, surgery, or anesthesiology. Thus a central feature of this book is a unified and integrated approach to the problems encountered in critical care practice. Like other books with the Lange imprint, this book emphasizes recall of major diagnostic features, concise descriptions of disease processes, and practical management strategies based on often recently acquired evidence.AuthorsPhilosophy & Principles of Critical Care
