Infectious Diseases and Antimicrobial Stewardship in Critical Care
Medicine 4E has been fully updated and revised. The clinical
diagnostic approach to common infectious disease problems in the
CCU is the underlying theme in the book. Emphasized throughout is
the importance of formulating an accurate early presumptive
clinical syndromic diagnosis which is the basis for selecting
optimal initial antimicrobial therapy in the CCU. Without an
accurate presumptive clinical diagnosis, effective therapy is
unlikely at best. Based on the most probable clinical diagnosis,
optimal antibiotic empiric therapy, based on antimicrobial
stewardship principles, minimizes resistance and antibiotic
complications in the CCU. This new edition features chapters that
explain the tenets of differential diagnostic reasoning,
differential diagnostic characteristics of fever patterns in the
CCU. The proper interpretation of rapid diagnostic tests, in the
appropriate clinical context, is included. The diagnostic
importance of cardinal clinical findings, particularly when
combined, in the appropriate clinical context is emphasized and
remains the basis for clinical problem solving in the CCU.
Uniquely, critical diagnostic physical findings in the CCU,
including color atlas of diagnostic eye findings, are included as
important diagnostic determinants in the CCU. Written by infectious
disease clinicians for CCU consultants, Infectious Diseases and
Antimicrobial Stewardship in Critical Care Medicine 4E remains a
useful evidence based and experience tempered key clinical resource
for infectious disease problems in the CCU. Key Features Essentials
of the tenets of clinical diagnostic reasoning is explained as it
relates to formulating a rapid and accurate clinical syndromic
diagnosis in the CCU The diagnostic significance of fever patterns
and their relationship to the pulse rate in the proper clinical
context is explained in depth as related to the CCU setting
Formulating an accurate early clinical syndromic diagnosis is
presented as essential since it is the basis of effective empiric
antibiotic therapy in the CCU How to combine key non-specific
laboratory and imaging findings to increase diagnostic specificity
and diagnostic probability in the CCU is presented Clinical
perspective on the proper interpretation of the clinical
significance of rapid diagnostic test results in the CCU is
included A clinical approach to apparent "antibiotic failure" in
the CCU is presented either due to actual antibiotic failure or
seeming but unrelated non-antibiotic failure Section focuses on the
practical aspects of antimicrobial stewardship particularly as
related to optimizing dosing effectiveness while minimizing
resistance and adverse effects in the CCU
