Summary: "Everything you need to know about Critical Care Medicine...at a Glance! Critical Care Medicine at a Glance provides a succinct, accessible, highly illustrated introduction to the care of the critically ill patient. Designed for medical students and junior doctors and nurses alike, this authoritative revision guide covers the essential clinical, diagnostic, and therapeutic skills required to manage critically ill patients with a wide range of conditions in a variety of settings. Colour-coded chapters, each of which are presented on a double-page format, contain concise explanatory text, applications to practice, and numerous high-quality photographs, illustrations, diagrams and tables. Fully revised to reflect current guidelines, changes in practice and recent medical innovations, the fourth edition includes expanded coverage of resus, sepsis, covid-19, ECMO, dermatological emergencies, envenomation and other key conditions and procedures. Updated chapters incorporate current assessment methods used by medical schools and postgraduate training programmes, whilst additional 'Pearls of Wisdom' boxes and Wise Owl Reading' reference suggestions are integrated throughout to aid learning and comprehension"-- Provided by publisher.
