Pediatric Intensive Care (Pittsburgh Critical Care Medicine)

Pediatric intensive care provides clinicians and trainees with concise, evidence-based, bedside guidance on the acute management of critically ill children. Chapters address critical conditions of anatomic systems: cardiovascular, respiratory, nervous system, renal, as well as specific problems such as resuscitation and stabilization, shock, fluid and electrolyte imbalances, metabolic, crises, toxicology, burns and trauma, sedation and analgesia, and transport of the critically ill child. Basic principles of monitoring and pharmacology are reviewed as are common pediatric intensive care unit procedures. The volume concludes with a chapter on the end of life and symptom management.
