Challenging Concepts in Critical Care: Cases with Expert Commentary

Edited by Christopher Gough, Justine Barnett, Tim Cook, and Jerry Nolan

Abstract

This book includes 18 challenging topics in critical care. Each chapter is centred on a clinically relevant case study and comprises a full case history, punctuated by evidence-based, up-to-date learning points which highlight the critical information for the reader. Every chapter has additional commentary from an expert on that topic, providing further insight to some of the key points and controversies. This book provides essential reading for those working for intensive care exams, but will also be a valuable resource for experienced critical care clinicians looking for a concise update on a range of challenging topics. The book will be of equal interest to senior intensive care unit nurses and allied health professionals. The arrangement of information around relevant case studies stimulates interest and facilitates learning.
