Abstract: |
This book is a concise guide that describes the basic principles that are necessary for the undergraduate student who wants to approach the medical problems of the critically ill. It also describes the basic skills of intensive care, listing with pictures and diagrams the basic stages of medical procedures necessary for the critically ill. The textbook is adapted to the modern needs of intensive care both at the level of diagnosis as well as at the level of therapeutic interventions. It follows the current literature in the thematic sections that it approaches so that the reader has a substantial picture of the problems faced by the critically ill as well as the solutions offered. For a more detailed analysis of the problems and their solutions, the reader can find them in the extensive literature on critical care.

It covers the following topics: Respiratory Failure, Acid-Base Balance Disorders, Principles of Mechanical Ventilation, Basic Principles of Cardiac Function and Heart Failure, Types of Circulatory Failure, Cardiogenic and Non-Cardiogenic Pulmonary Edema, the most common types of Infections in the Critically Ill, Vascular disorders and Thromboembolic disease, Βrain Injury and Nutrition of the critically ill patient.
