The importance of accurately diagnosing nosocomial infections and
providing appropriate therapies, including antimicrobial therapy
effective against the identified agents of infection, have been
shown to be important determinants of patient outcome. Critical
care practitioners are in a unique position to deal with infectious
diseases, as they are often the initial providers of care to
seriously ill patients with infections. Additionally, they have a
responsibility to insure that nosocomial infections are prevented
and that antimicrobial resistance is minimised by employing
antibiotic agents prudently. It is our hope that this textbook will
provide clinicians practising in the intensive care unit with a
reference to help guide their care of infected patients. To that
end we have brought together a group of international authors to
address important topics related to infectious diseases for the
critical care practitioner. Critical Care Infectious Diseases
should become an advanced standard reference work in the field of
infectious diseases and intensive care medicine. The content is
original and the first of its kind in this area. It is a reference
work for those physicians who care daily for critically ill
patients suffering from infectious complications. Residents and
other specialists interested in focused problems will benefit from
the wide spectrum of information provided in this book. Infectious
control practitioners and nurses will also benefit from this
collection by recognised experts who work with specific aspects of
infectious disease problems in the critically ill patient. Critical
Care Infectious Diseases includes seven sections addressing the
following topics: specificmicrobiologic and pharmacologic
considerations, epidemiology/infection control in the ICU,
anti-infective therapy in the critically ill patient, severe
respiratory infections, intra-abdominal infections, severe
skin/soft tissue infections, catheter-related infections, and other
infectious syndromes frequently seen in the intensive care unit.
