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.

Resuscitation is a two-stage process comprising the achievement/maintenance of spontaneous circulation and post- resuscitation management. The approach is complex and multifaceted and entails the integration of new physiological insights, pharmacological options, and technological advances. The purpose of this volume, written by top experts in the field, is to promote, share, and disseminate new advances in resuscitation and post- resuscitation care. The issues addressed are wide ranging and of great topical interest or controversy. They include priorities of intervention, quality of resuscitation, use of mechanical supports, new defibrillation strategies, prevention of organ damage, strategies in cases of sudden cardiac death, new pharmacological treatments, and post-resuscitation care, including temperature management and prediction and improvement of outcome after cardiac arrest. Particular attention is devoted to up-to-date evidence from the most recent experimental and clinical trials on resuscitation science and to gold standard evidence-based resuscitation and post-resuscitation treatments and interventions. In addition, organizational models and integrated care systems for trauma are considered, and critical care education and the process of guideline development are reviewed.

Per governo clinico si intende la capacita di gestione del sistema sanitario, caratterizzato, come noto, da una notevole complessita. Gli obiettivi di questa gestione si articolano su numerosi fronti di sviluppo, tra cui il miglioramento delle prestazioni assistenziali, la riduzione degli errori in medicina, la garanzia della sicurezza per i pazienti, l'appropriatezza nel decision making in tema di salute, il controllo del livello di competenza del personale, fino al controllo delle risorse disponibili e dei costi di gestione.

Questo volume affronta gli aspetti che gravitano attorno al governo clinico e alla sua introduzione in settori cardine quali l'anestesia e la medicina del malato critico. Dopo una prima sezione dedicata alle good practices, al professionalismo e al ruolo dell'errore in medicina, la trattazione affronta nel dettaglio numerose questioni di grande rilevanza nel perioperatorio: etica e deontologia, costi, procedure e audit, organizzazione del team, monitoraggio del dolore in eta pediatrica, fino a importanti considerazioni sul punto di vista del paziente. Completano il volume una sezione sul ruolo della ricerca clinica e un glossario. Caratterizzato da una particolare completezza e varieta di argomenti, questo testo vuole offrire ai diversi professionisti e operatori del settore indicazioni utili ed efficaci su come articolare l'organizzazione del sistema sanitario moderno.
