The adult critical care setting requires complex clinical decisions
to be made that have a dramatic impact on the lives of patients and
their families. This textbook offers evidence-based case histories
around shared decision making, providing practical advice to
clinicians who are trying to navigate routine clinical scenarios in
adult critical care. Early chapters explore the definition of the
shared decision making process and practical steps that aid its
implementation. The greater part of the book focuses on how shared
decision making can be practiced in specific situations that are
common in adult critical care, highlighting the relevant knowledge
base necessary to manage each situation. Do-not-resuscitate and
do-not-intubate orders, ECMO, and resolving conflicts regarding
potentially inappropriate treatment are among the topics covered.
An essential resource for healthcare professionals working in
critical care and those looking for a framework for the use of
shared decision making in this setting.
