The South Asian Edition of The Washington Manual of Critical Care provides a multidisciplinary, clinically oriented approach to the management of patients in critical care. The book discusses the complete range of critical care subspecialties, including cardiology, pulmonology, gastroenterology, neurology, toxicology, nephrology, infectious disease, various procedures,and much more. This will serve as a bedside quick reference guide to the intensive care physicians. Tables and illustrations help provide a quick and easy bedside reference and give a practical approach to the management of these patients. Readers will find comprehensive and current information for the diagnosis and management of some of the most common illnesses and problems encountered in the critical care setting. This book willbe very helpful for the preparation of various critical care exit examinations in the country and abroad. Key Features: Addition of 2 new chapters relevant to South Asia and Indian subcontinent; Tropical fever in ICU, and Extracorporeal therapy in ICU. Extensive coverage of neuro critical care disorders, sepsis, shock, and infectious diseases in terms of updated guidelines, common drugs used, and the latest antibiotic policies in the Indian subcontinent. In the Toxicology section addition of organophosphate poisoning and anti-snake venom (ASV). Provides overviews of various procedures performed, and the physiological and pharmacological aspects of critical care. Includes concise, easy-to-read diagnosis and treatment algorithms for common conditions, and bibliographical references for additional, in-depth reading.

Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) is a procedure that uses a machine to take over the work of the lungs and sometimes the heart. The system provides heart-lung bypass support using a pump to circulate blood through an artificial lung back into the bloodstream, providing enough oxygen to the patient, whilst allowing time for the lungs and heart to rest or heal during or after serious illness. ECMO is often used for babies, but can also be used for children and adults (Medline Plus). The techniques for ECMO require professionals from multidisciplinary background to be involved in the procedure. This practical manual is a comprehensive guide to ECMO. Divided into eleven sections, the book begins with an introduction to the procedure and equipment. The following sections provide step by step discussion on initiation, maintenance of support and monitoring, and techniques of ECMO for different case scenarios. The final sections present multiple choice questions for self assessment and extensive appendices. Key points Comprehensive guide to Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) Highly relevant for intensivists, anaesthesiologists, surgeons, paediatricians and cardiologists Includes section of multiple choice questions for self assessment More than 186 full colour images and illustrations

This practical guide provides a multidisciplinary, clinically oriented approach to the management of patients in intensive care. The book discusses the complete range of specialties, including cardiology, pulmonology, gastroenterology, neurology, toxicology, and much more. Each condition is presented in a step by step process, covering pathophysiology, signs and symptoms, diagnosis, treatment, and other considerations such as age/developmental issues. The comprehensive appendices section covers essential data and assessment for the management of critically ill patients including discussion on drugs, dosages and side effects, clinical scores, indices and equations, normal biochemical values, ICU rounds and more. The text is highly illustrated with clinical images, diagrams and tables, and includes recent articles and current guidelines on management of sepsis and deep vein thrombosis (DVT).
