Respiratory
critical care is essential to modern critical care medicine. To
successfully support critically ill patients, an understanding of
specific lung conditions and syndromes, their pathophysiological basis,
and evidence-based management strategies is of vital importance. The Oxford Textbook of Respiratory Critical Care
provides an authoritative account of respiratory critical care medicine
with a clear focus on how to manage respiratory disease in the
critically ill.
The fundamentals of pathophysiology, diagnosis,
and treatment, for respiratory diseases and conditions are outlined with
a specific focus on management in the critical care setting. Across 66
chapters, common and unusual respiratory conditions are included as well
as those aspects of pulmonary disease in which the management in
critical illness is unique. The text equips the reader with up-to-date
knowledge of clinical practice for the respiratory system, lung diseases
within critical care medicine and the impact of critical illness on
lung biology.
Each chapter highlights advances in the field as
well as emphasising the importance of getting the basics right. Key
messages, controversies, and directions to further research points allow
both focused reading and deeper engagement. A dedicated chapter to
COVID-19, and sections throughout explore the impact of this novel virus
in specific areas of respiratory critical care.
Edited and
written by an international group of recognized experts from many
disciplines, this essential textbook is relevant to medics globally.
This is an indispensable guide for clinicians, researchers and nurses
working in Critical Care, Anaesthesia, Respiratory Medicine, Acute
Medicine, and Emergency Medicine.
