Features: This concise manual on managing critically ill patients combines pathophysiology with clinical characteristics of diseases, helping doctors make rapid diagnoses and determine the optimal treatment order. It guides doctors to complete patient care step by step while waiting for specialists to arrive. Whenever possible, the authors have referenced published guidelines to ensure the book reflects current evidence-based recommendations for emergency care. Content on specialized treatments is also included to provide readers with further treatment information. The purpose of this manual is to offer clinicians effective and safe advice and recommendations for managing critically ill patients, as well as to complement the Oxford Clinical Series manuals. In many books, the sections on critical care are written by senior doctors who are not frontline practitioners, and their perspectives may be speculative or overlook details. In contrast, this manual is written by doctors with extensive hands-on clinical experience.
