Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. 2nd Edition. Oversized paperback, second edition, xxiv + 771 pages, NOT ex-library. Clean, with unmarked text, no inscriptions, no stamps, firmly bound. Shipping weight over 1kg. -- As the first textbook in the field to explicitly adopt an evidence-based approach, the book serves both as a comprehensive educational foundation for those preparing for certification in pediatric intensive care and as a detailed resource for seasoned clinicians navigating the complex medical, technological, and ethical terrain of contemporary critical care environments. Divided into five parts, the volume explores not only the bedside care of critically ill children but also the institutional, scientific, and ethical infrastructures underpinning pediatric intensive care units (PICUs). Part I addresses the practice of pediatric critical care from multiple angles: global perspectives, legal frameworks, architectural design of PICUs, administrative structures, and the roles of nursing, pharmacology, and scoring systems in critical decision-making. It also considers emergent dimensions such as telemedicine, simulation training, and quality improvement initiatives, underscoring the field's growing reliance on multidisciplinary collaboration and systems-level thinking. Part II transitions into the molecular and genomic sciences that have begun to transform diagnostic and therapeutic strategies in PICUs. Chapters explore genetic polymorphisms, signal transduction pathways, oxidative stress mechanisms, and the roles of inflammatory mediators, emphasizing the trend toward personalized medicine and the integration of omics data into clinical algorithms. This scientific emphasis illustrates how critical care is increasingly anchored in translational research, aiming to tailor treatments to individual physiological profiles and improve prognostic accuracy. Part III focuses on resuscitation, stabilization, and transport logistics. Topics range from airway management and shock to traumatic injury and coma. A dedicated discussion of post-resuscitation care highlights the importance of nuanced outcome prediction and the use of emerging biomarkers in guiding therapy. Additional chapters address the ethical complexities of life-support withdrawal, brain death, and organ donor management, revealing the overlap between technological capacity and humanistic care. Part IV deals with the diverse modes of patient monitoring that define the modern PICU. The volume documents the obsolescence of traditional tools like the pulmonary artery catheter in favor of modalities such as continuous venous oximetry, near-infrared spectroscopy, and noninvasive brain monitoring. Nutritional and renal monitoring also receive detailed treatment, reflecting a holistic understanding of multisystem involvement in pediatric critical illness. The final section, Part V, delves into special scenarios including mass casualty events, chemical terrorism, pandemic response, toxic ingestions, and envenomation. These chapters contextualize critical care within broader public health and disaster medicine frameworks, while also illustrating how PICUs serve as front-line settings for a variety of acute emergencies. The volume's scope confirms its utility across a wide professional audience: clinicians, educators, administrators, and researchers. Its thorough documentation of cutting-edge technologies, globalized practices, and ethical considerations aligns pediatric critical care with current trends in healthcare modernization and interdisciplinary integration. Moreover, its emphasis on both the science and the art of care - evident in reflections on compassion and communication - ensures the human dimensions of the field remain central despite rapid technological advancement. With contributions from leading experts, this is a definitive educational text and a dynamic reflection of the field's evolution, offering enduring value for academic programs and clinical practice alike.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Sehr gut. Gebraucht - Sehr gut SG - leichte Beschädigungen oder Verschmutzungen, ungelesenes Mängelexemplar, gestempelt, Versand Büchersendung - The care of the critically ill or injured child begins with timely, prompt, and aggressive res- citation and stabilization. Ideally, stabilization should occur before the onset of organ failure in order to achieve the best possible outcomes. In the following pages, an international panel of experts provides an in-depth discussion of the early recognition, resuscitation, and stabilization of the critically ill or injured child. Once again, we would like to dedicate this textbook to our families and to the physicians and nurses who provide steadfast care every day in pediatric intensive care units across the globe. Derek S. Wheeler Hector R. Wong Thomas P. Shanley V Preface to Pediatric Critical Care Medicine: Basic Science and Clinical Evidence The eld of critical care medicine is growing at a tremendous pace, and tremendous advances in the understanding of critical illness have been realized in the last decade. My family has directly bene ted from some of the technological and scienti c advances made in the care of critically ill children. My son Ryan was born during my third year of medical school. By some peculiar happenstance, I was nearing completion of a 4-week rotation in the newborn intensive care unit (NICU). The head of the pediatrics clerkship was kind enough to let me have a few days off around the time of the delivery-my wife, Cathy, was 2 weeks past her due date and had been scheduled for elective induction.
