Summary:This pocket book succinctly describes 318 errors commonly made by attendings, residents, interns, nurses, and nurse-anesthetists in the intensive care unit, and gives practical, easy-to-remember tips for avoiding these errors. The book can easily be read immediately before the start of a rotation or used for quick reference on call. Each error is described in a short, clinically relevant vignette, followed by a list of things that should always or never be done in that context and tips on how to avoid or ameliorate problems. Coverage includes all areas of ICU practice except the pediatric intensive care unit(a quien le importa!!!).

Description: Sepsis (or septic shock) is one of the leading post-surgical or post-traumatic complications in today's hospitals. This pervasive condition is the major cause of morbidity and mortality in intensive care units worldwide, as well as the leading cause of death in non-coronary patients. This is a concise, practical soft cover volume devoted to covering only the most practical information for physicians. Charts, tables, and other figures are used to illustrate easy-to-follow treatment guidelines for those professionals who regularly treat patients in the ICU.041. When to Transfuse Septic Patients.- 2. Sepsis Occurrence and its Prognosis in Latin America.- 3. Novel Therapies in Critically Ill Septic Patients.- 4. Dissemination Control of Antimicrobial Resistance in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU).- 5. Diaphragmatic Dysfunction in Intensive Care.- 6. Myocardial Depression in Sepsis and Septic Shock.- 7. Towards a Consensus on Intra-Abdominal Hypertension (IAH).- 8. Resuscitation Goals in Severe Sepsis and Septic Shock.- 9. Coagulation Disorders in CriticallyIll Septic Patients.- 10.

Practical Echocardiography(Greenwich Medical Media) By Catherine A. Walsh, Peter Wilde Practical Echocardiography is a highly illustrated guide to the principles and practice of echocardiography written by cardiologists, radiologists and radiographers for all healthcare professionals needing to learn the techniques and interpretative skills involved in the scanning of the heart. It includes discussion of the main applications of echocardiography in the diagnosis of acquired heart disease, but also has specialist chapters on less common techniques, such as transoesophageal echo and the use of echocardiography in the investigation of congenital heart disease. The combination of emphasis on technique as well as diagnosis makes this book especially valuable to trainee clinicians, be they cardiologists, cardiac surgeons or radiologists, as well as the radiographer who (especially in the UK) will often be the person to perform the investigation. http://rapidshare.com/files/25686992/PE-bloodDR.rar http://www.4shared.com/file/6169989/cff86ab1/Practical_Echocardiography.html?s=1

Respiratory failure is a complex disease process whereby the underlying disease and therapeutic measures interact. The patient’s outcome is determined by a variety of factors including how we use therapeutic maneuvers such as mechanical ventilation for prevention of complications, e.g., ventilator associated pneumonia. This book is a comprehensive review of all aspects of acute respiratory failure, providing critical reviews of various topics related to respiratory failure and discussing the clinical evidence available for the diagnoses and management of patients with respiratory failure. This book contains an extensive bibliographic review, focusing on preventive and therapeutic studies, that was methodologically standardized, with authors assessing and classifying studies according to statutes of evidence-based medicine. It considers epidemiology and outcome of mechanical ventilation; addresses ventilator modes and utility of pulmonary mechanics monitoring for treatment; analyzes physiologic effect and patient-outcomes of pulmonary recruitment and lung protective ventilation procedures; describes complications that can be present in these patients such as ventilator associated pneumonia and useful methods to prevent respiratory infections; covers the impact of bronchodilators, corticosteroids, and antibiotics in acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease; discusses how, when, and in whom to do tracheostomy; and evaluates the use of sedation and neuromuscular blockade, as well as current clinical trials in acute lung injury. In summary, this book on the Evidence-based Management of Patients with Respiratory Failure provides important information to improve patient outcome by clearly identifying the research evidence that we can apply in daily clinical practice.

Multiple epidemiological studies have established and continue to emphasizethe fact that sepsis is the dominant syndrome in modern Intensive CareUnits. Severe sepsis occurs in approximately 50 to 100 cases/100,000 people/year and is the most common cause of death in intensive care patients. Severesepsis and septic shock are now also the most common cause of kidney failurein intensive care and the most common cause of severe kidney failure requiringin general renal replacement therapy. This kind of kidney failure, however, israrely seen in isolation. Most commonly, it occurs as part of a syndrome ofmultiple organ failure, where the kidney is one of several organ systems thatbecome profoundly dysfunctional. In this setting, vasodilatory shock is frequent,mechanical ventilation is frequent and disorders of bone marrow function,acid-base balance, gastrointestinal activity and cerebral function arecommon. Thus, severe sepsis links kidney function, multiple organ function andpatient outcome from the start to the end.

It is not only our goal in the issue to review the basic aspects of mechanical ventilation, such as modes of mechanical ventilation, ventilatory monitoring, and weaning from ventilation, but we wish to also develop discussion on some of the common controversies such as alveolar recruitment and stabilization. This issue also addresses some of the cutting edge concepts of mechanical ventilation such as therapist-driven protocols to standardize our care within specific disease groups.
More and more, we use the education and expertise of respiratory therapists to provide a comprehensive team approach in patient management.
Introduction of computer-based closed loop ventilation will also surely change the face of critical care practice as we allow technology to aid us in the 24/7 environment of the modern ICU.We have also started to address three major complex patient disease groups in this issue:massive chest trauma, the complex environment of the neurologic ICU, and the fast-track world of the cardiovascular patient. Aspects of each of these may have implications in the care of other less specialty- based patients. No issue of a monograph on mechanical ventilationcan be complete without focusing on a major question in our society, that of end of life. We are hopeful that this issue will be useful and spur broad-based discussion on how to wean mechanical life support during that highly emotionally charged period.
