Dysfunction of the gastrointestinal tract in critically ill
patients has recently become a focus of intensive research. This
book, the first one on this topic, is a comprehensive overview of
what is currently known about the role of the gut in patients
requiring intensive care. The definitions and pathogenesis of
intestinal dysfunction are critically evaluated. Currently
available and potential new ways to monitor intestinal function in
the intensive care setting are presented. Emphasis has been placed
on the evaluation of therapeutic strategies in the prevention and
treatment of gut dysfunction. Options for monitoring and treating
gut dysfunction in critically ill patients are rapidly evolving.
This volume provides state-of-the-art information for both
clinicians and clinical researchers.
