While critical care pharmacology and technology have become widely
available, paediatricians and primary care physicians must
frequently deal with critically ill children in understaffed
hospitals. Those who represent the first line of care know that the
first hours of treatment to a critically ill child have a
significant impact on the outcome.
This introductory overview of paediatric critical care is
written for medical students, paediatric residents, and residents
from other disciplines who rotate through paediatric ICU. In
addition to covering PICU topics, this tome reviews the initial
management and stabilization of critically ill children. Management
of life-threatening situations to critically ill children that are
also reviewed in this book include respiratory failure,
cardiovascular collagse, status epilepticus, status asthmaticus,
upper airway obstructions, toxic ingestions, and sepsis.
This easy-to-read manual outlines basic concepts of paediatric
ICU and makes for easy reading in a night on call. while also
satisfying the requirements for a quick reference text that can
help the unsuspecting health care worker in an emergency, its
engaging presentation motivates readiness for critical care.
