Intensive care is a rapidly changing area of medicine, and after
four years from the 2nd edition the volume editors and authors have
deemed necessary to update it. In the recent years, in fact, five
new randomised controlled trials and five new meta-analyses
demonstrate that selective decontamination of the digestive tract
[SDD] is an antimicrobial prophylaxis to prevent severe infections
of not only lower airways but also of blood. Additionally, SDD has
been shown to reduce inflammation including multiple organ failure
and mortality. An intriguing observation is the evidence that SDD
using parenteral and enteral antimicrobials reduces rather than
increases antimicrobial resistance. Moreover, a new chapter on
microcirculation had been added. The volume will be an invaluable
tool for all those requiring in depth knowledge in the ever
expanding field of infection control.
