Summary: author's synopsis
Rating: 5
This book contains everything you really need to know about acute care that you can't find in a standard textbook and have probably never been taught before. It is written for:
- junior trainees in internal medicine, general surgery, emergency medicine, anaesthesia and critical care
- clinical medical students
- nursing staff and allied professionals working in critical care areas

Two experienced teachers explain the principles of acute care simply yet comprehensively. This book is practical and case-based. Throughout, `mini-tutorials' expand on the latest thinking or controversies.

Chapters include: patients at risk (recognising critical illness and the use of early warning scores), oxygen, acid-base balance, respiratory failure, fluid balance and volume resuscitation, circulatory failure and the use of inotropes, sepsis, acute renal failure, brain failure and optimising physiology before surgery.

This book is essential reading for anyone who looks after acutely ill adults.
