Description
By Volker Herold
Intensive and Critical Care Medicine is a comprehensive, practice-oriented handbook designed for clinicians working in intensive care units, emergency medicine, and acute care settings.
Intensive care medicine is complex, fast-paced, and requires sound clinical judgment under time pressure. This book provides clear, structured, and evidence-based guidance to support everyday decision-making at the bedside. The focus is deliberately placed on practical management strategies rather than theoretical background, making it a reliable reference for real-world clinical situations.
The content covers a broad range of topics in intensive and critical care medicine, including:
- Airway management and mechanical ventilation
- Hemodynamic monitoring and shock management
- Sepsis, infections, and antimicrobial therapy
- Cardiovascular, respiratory, and neurological emergencies
- Renal replacement therapy and extracorporeal support
- Sedation, analgesia, and delirium management
- Ultrasound and imaging in critical care
- Ethical considerations and end-of-life decision making
Clinical concepts are presented in a concise and structured format, supported by tables, algorithms, figures, and illustrative images to facilitate rapid orientation during clinical practice.
This handbook is intended for:
- Intensive care physicians
- Emergency physicians
- Anesthesiologists
- Residents and fellows in critical care training
- Advanced practice providers and experienced ICU staff
Intensive and Critical Care Medicine serves as a practical bedside reference as well as a structured learning resource for clinicians seeking reliable guidance in the management of critically ill patients.
