Critical Care for Surgical Patients
نویسنده
چکیده
In the first section respiratory failure and management is described in a most lucid and readable style. This is followed by a section on circulatory crises in which monitoring is clearly explained and such mysteries as the Swan Ganz catheter are unveiled. Fluid balance is well handled but this is followed by a very weak chapter on the acute abdomen. It is difficult to see why Mittelschmerz, herpes zoster or spider bites are included in this book.
