Now thoroughly updated by Drs. Clifford S. Deutschman, Patrick J.

  • Tap into the expertise of nearly 200 critical-care experts who discuss the wide variety of clinical options in critical care, examine the relevant research, and provide recommendations based on a thorough analysis of available evidence.
  • Think through each question in a logical, efficient manner, using a practical, consistent approach to available management options and guidelines.
  • Find the information you need quickly with tables that summarize the available literature and recommended clinical approaches.
  • Navigate a full range of challenges from routine care to complicated and special situations.
  • Stay up to date with new issues and controversies such as the redefinition of sepsis ? changing approaches to fluid administration ? immune suppression in sepsis ? monitoring the microcirculation ? the long-term sequelae of critical illness ? minimizing ventilator associated lung injury ? the benefits of evidence-based medicine management guidelines ? rapid response teams ? and more.
  • Benefit from all-new sections covering persistent critical illness and the role of advanced practice nurses and physician assistants in the ICU.
