Soubani This book serves as a guide to the pulmonary and critical care complications  of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). HSCT is an important therapeutic modality for a variety of malignant and non-malignant conditions. The outcomes of these patients have been improving and the number of HSCT cases is increasing around the world. These patients, however, continue to have post-transplant complications related to conditioning regimens and graft vs. host disease. Pulmonary complications following HSCT remain a major cause of morbidity and mortality in this patient population. The book begins with an overview of HSCT and graft vs. host disease. Chapters then cover particular complications, including immunological changes in lungs, diffuse alveolar hemorrhage, bronchiolitis obliterans and pulmonary fibrosis. Other complications, including neurologic, renal, gastrointestinal, and cardiac, are covered. Chapters are comprehensive and consistent with each defining the scope of the complication, epidemiology, risk factors, diagnostic approach, management, outcome and predictors of outcome, and future directions. The book provides insight as well on matters that arise during the care of HSCT patients such as provider burnout, nursing care, intensive care unit organization, nutritional support, and pulmonary and physical rehabilitation. This is an ideal guide for pulmonologists, critical care physicians, transplant specialists, oncologists, and relevant trainees caring for patients who have undergone HSCT.

Weinhouse, John W. Devlin For decades heavily sedated ICU patients were assumed to be asleep.  However, in the past 20 years, physiologic and epidemiologic studies have established sleep is frequently disrupted in the ICU.  The inter-relationship between ICU sleep, delirium, and survivorship has come to the forefront of ICU practice.  We now routinely aim for lighter sedation, delirium assessment has become standardized, and knowledge regarding the ICU factors leading to Post- Intensive Care Syndrome (PICS) has evolved. The importance of sleep in routine ICU management was codified for the first time in SCCM’s 2018 PADIS guidelines. This state of the art book summarizes current knowledge regarding sleep during critical illness and recovery and how the risk factors, recognition, and outcomes associated with sleep in the ICU differ from those of healthy adults. Chapters address sleep quality in both the research environment and during routine care, the factors that disrupt sleep architecture and circadian biology in the ICU setting, medications that alter sleep architecture and those that can be used to improve it, the relationship between sleep and sedation and between sleep and delirium, and current strategies that can be used to improve sleep in the vulnerable ICU population. Written by experts in the field, Sleep in Critical Illness is a valuable resource for all members of the ICU interprofessional team including critical care physicians, nurses, physician assistants, pharmacists, and respiratory therapists as well as clinicians who consult in the ICU and post-ICU settings.

Schmidt This new edition presents an evidence-based review of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) for adults, with a particular focus on veno-venous (VV) ECMO. Due to the dramatic impact of COVID-19, the number of institutions offering ECMO, thus the number of clinicians performing ECMO (or referring their patients for ECMO), has exploded in a truly unprecedented way. While the pandemic may fade, programs built in response will survive by extending the application of ECMO to previously overlooked populations. This fully updated second edition refines its focus to VV ECMO, which has seen the most dramatic increase and relevance. This allows expert authors to go further in depth regarding VV ECMO and provide readers with better guidance from the physiology of VV ECMO to weaning and decannulation. Several areas have been expanded, including anti-thrombotic approaches; how to set the mechanical ventilator and judge the complex interactions between patient, ventilator, and ECMO circuit; assessing the systemic circulation during VV ECMO (especially right ventricular function and intravascular volume); and recognizing membrane lung dysfunction. Finally, new chapters addressing how the VV-capable clinician should think about VA ECMO and how to incorporate ethical principles in patient selection and withdrawal of ECMO have been added. This is an ideal guide for intensive care and respiratory medicine specialists, fellows training in critical care, ECMO specialist staff, perfusionists, nurses, and respiratory therapists.

Heri Iswanto Lean healthcare is waste elimination in every service area with the goal of reducing inventory, cycle time of service, and cost, so that high-quality patient care can be provided in a way that is as efficient, as effective, and as responsive as possible while retaining the financial integrity of a hospital. The Lean philosophy in healthcare demands a person’s attitude, in all aspects of care, understand the process which happens, observe it, and gather information in order to identify the root of an inefficiency of the process. In short, Lean and its emphasis on efficiency can be a critical tool in the management of health services in hospitals around the world. This book provides guidance and examples on how Lean principles can be implemented into the infrastructure and every day operations of a hospital from the emergency room to hospital facilities and maintenance. The book also demonstrates how Lean is the cultural commitment of organizations to implement the scientific method in designing, conducting, and improving work sustainably through teamwork, bringing in better value and satisfaction to the patient. It shortens the time between ordering and service delivery by eliminating waste from the service flow value.

There is a wide spectrum of conditions managed, and these present unique challenges for those who work in this field. Written in lay language by experienced ICU doctors (Intensivists), Psychiatrists, healthcare professionals outside of medicine and other stakeholders, “Stories from ICU doctors” provides insight and commentary around the nature and management of stressors for senior doctors working in the ICU. The first five sections of the book describe the distinctive nature of the ICU environment: the human factors involved, the characteristics of thriving Intensivists, the emotions they experience, and how they behave in response. The final three sections provide a synthesis of the advice of these clinicians for both current and future Intensivists, the advice from those who surround the Intensivist both at work and at home; and some concluding remarks about trainee suitability and selection for intensive care medicine. This book is for ICU patients and their families, it is for the families of ICU doctors, it is for doctors from other specialities, it is for the nurses and others that work alongside ICU doctors, and for anyone considering a career in ICU medicine and those who care for them.  We share these stories in hope that readers might better appreciate the human side of these doctors, better understand the complex working environment in which they practice, and perhaps better empathize with their stressors and struggles. Most importantly, this book is also for the ICU doctors who currently work within the specialty, to validate their feelings and experiences, and ultimately provide support by reminding them that they are not alone in navigating the difficulties they face.

Critical Care Assessment by Midwives also notably sets out a template for assessment of women that will enable early identification of deteriorating health. Serious illness can arise subsequent to an emergency, a pre-existing illness or a complication of pregnancy but can also occur in the context of what appears to be a low risk pregnancy.

Performance improvement has a significant impact on a hospital’s over financial and strategic performance. Performance improvement involves the deployment of quantitative and scientific methods to model and influence the functioning of organizations. Performance improvement professionals are tasked with managing a variety of activities, such as deploying new information technologies, serving as project managers for construction events, re-engineering departmental process workflow, eliminating bottlenecks, and improving the flow and movement of patients between resource-intensive clinical areas.

Firstenberg As demonstrated in the first book, the management of patients with profound respiratory failure or cardiogenic shock has evolved significantly over the years with advances in diagnostic and therapeutic options. While the mortality for these often-overlapping problems remains high, progress in the multi-disciplinary approach to these complex clinical problems has improved survival substantially. The focus of this second book is to explore some of the advanced topics and current literature regarding the management of patients requiring extra-corporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). As illustrated in the spectrum of topics discussed, ECMO is not only a complex therapy in itself, but the challenges, problems, and complications that arise in this unique area of medicine require engagement by many diverse disciplines. While there are many physiological issues such as organ protection, management of circuit complications, and optimal lung and cardiac protection for recovery, the use of ECMO also introduces a variety of legal and ethical challenges, particularly end-of-life issues (including brain death) in patients for whom recovery, despite extra-corporeal support, is most likely futile. Each of the chapters, written by world-renowned experts in the field, highlights a different important aspect in understanding the complex dynamics of extra-corporeal support and its impact on human pathophysiology. Many of the topic discussed highlight the state-of-the-art literature along with expert experiences and perspectives as we try to learn more about the overlapping art and science of a field of medicine that has only recently been accepted as a mainstream treatment option.

Green (ed.), George A. Little (ed.) Each year, neonatal Intensive care units (NICUs) in the U.S. and around the world help thousands of sick or premature newborns survive. NICUs are committed to the ideals of family-centered care, which encourages shared decision-making between parents and NICU caregivers. In cases of infants with conditions marked by high mortality, morbidity, or great suffering, family-centered care affirms the right of parents to assist in making decisions regarding aggressive treatment for their infant. Often, these parents' difficult and intimate decisions are shaped profoundly by their religious beliefs. In light of this, what precisely are the teachings of the major world religious traditions about the status and care of the premature or sick newborn? Few studies have grappled with what major religious traditions teach about the care of the newborn or how these teachings may bear on parents' decisions. This volume seeks to fill this gap, providing information on religious teachings about the newborn to the multidisciplinary teams of NICU professionals (neonatologists, advance practice nurses, social workers), as well as to parents of NICU patients, and students of bioethics. In chapters dealing with Judaism, Catholicism, Denominational Protestantism, Evangelical Protestantism, African American Protestantism, Sunni and Shi'a Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, Navajo religion, and Seventh Day Adventism, leading scholars develop the teachings of these traditions on the status, treatment, and ritual accompaniments of care of the premature or sick newborn.

This has led to the use of new measures and communication techniques, including shared decision-making and motivational interviewing. Using patient-reported outcomes at the point of service helps providers identify what matters most to the patient in front of them now. Describing treatment options and deciphering a patient’s preferences effectively is a process, which has been likened to arriving at a diagnosis. Providers make a medical diagnosis by discerning a patient’s primary complaints, past history, exam findings, and test results. A preference diagnosis can be thought of similarly. Providers work with their patients to identify what matters most to them, discuss the risks and benefits of the available treatment options, and support the patient as needed through the decision-making process. Once informed of their options, patients frequently chose treatments that require modifying their habits. Motivational interviewing helps patients and providers understand what matters most now and design care plans that provide appropriate support. While many healthcare providers and leaders may be familiar with patient-reported outcomes from research articles, and have heard of shared decision-making and motivational interviewing, few have experience using them. Fewer still understand how each relates to the other. This book helps leaders and healthcare providers better understand how to use patient-reported data to their advantage at the point of service.

Man-made and natural disasters—including armed conflict, environmental catastrophes, forced displacements, and epidemics—affect thousands worldwide each year, causing loss of homes, livelihoods, and possessions. Complex humanitarian emergencies are increasing due to international conflict and civil war. The COVID-19 pandemic further underscored the need for efficient and equitable disaster responses, particularly for those in low- and middle-income countries. Pediatric-specific considerations in disaster response, especially in humanitarian emergencies and resource-constrained settings already burdened by preventable illness and limited healthcare access, remain an often overlooked yet critical component. Children make up a disproportionately large percentage of disaster victims due to their developmental and physical vulnerabilities. Those with complex healthcare needs or disabilities are at even greater risk. The devastating consequences of gaps in preparedness and response have also been demonstrated in well-resourced settings, as seen with Hurricane Katrina. Previous research has called for better training for medical trainees and disaster relief workers to improve pediatric disaster preparedness. Yet, programs specifically addressing children's needs are in short supply, and relief workers often lack the expertise to provide appropriate care. There is also a persistent gap in guidelines advocating for children’s unique needs in disaster settings. This book seeks to address these gaps.

Shallik (ed.) This book focuses on Flow-controlled Ventilation (FCV), the most recent innovation in the field of airway management and ventilation. In this book, the authors explain how ventilation through a straw-size or ultra-thin endotracheal tube is possible with FCV along with the clinical application of FCV in managing complex cases, particularly those presenting for head and neck surgery for a narrow airway diameter, totally obstructed airway and various cases of “cannot intubate, cannot oxygenate” situation. Readers will learn: the physical and physiological principles governing how FCV works; how to prepare and setup the FCV ventilators to be used with ultra-thin tube (outer diameter 4.4 mm and inner diameter 2.4 mm); identifying commonly encountered issues and troubleshooting; how to manage various cases of difficult airway encountered in various settings (prehospital or intra-operatively); how to tackle a “Cannot intubate, Cannot oxygenate” scenario in a simple way. The book is intended to be a reference guide that could be easily carried during the daily clinical work with the aim of providing a better healthcare and promoting patients’ safety. It is intended for healthcare providers working in various clinical settings including but not limited to intensivists, anaesthetists, pulmonary physicians, medical residents, medical students, medical fellows, anaesthesia residents, nurses, anaesthesia technical staff, respiratory therapists, certified registered nurses in anaesthesia, and paramedics.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Intensive Care","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48959716655278,"sku":null,"price":27.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0765\/8179\/8062\/files\/9783031774768-1.jpg?v=1787959243"},{"product_id":"isccm-textbook-of-critical-care-medicine","title":"ISCCM Textbook of Critical Care Medicine","description":"\u003cp\u003eBy Dhruva Chaudhry •It is the first comprehensive textbook on critical care from India, written by prominent intensivists of the country. The book covers day-to-day challenges in management faced by intensivists in India\/Low Medium Income Country (LMIC), where delivery of healthcare is variable, resources finite, and manpower challenges enormous. Therefore, to guide, each section starts with an approach to organ failure related to the section. •Section and chapters have been devoted on critical care of obstetrics to help reduce maternal mortality, geriatrics due to marked increase in their population and admission in ICUs. •High velocity trauma and poisoning are of epidemic proportion and major causes of unnatural deaths and admission in intensive care. Adequate space has been given with emphasis on snake envenomation, organophosphate compounds, aluminum phosphide poisoning, and alcoholic intoxication. •It also covers critical care management aspects of solid organ and bone marrow transplantation, as organ transplantation is well established and expanding. •It highlights adequately general critical care, ethical and administrative issues, especially end-of-life (EOL), latter still evolving in India, where physicians continue to have an ethical and moral dilemma. •Section on sepsis not only deals with the traditional aspects but also covers adequately tropical infections (travel medicine), deluge of which we see commonly post-monsoon. •It can be one-time reference for managing COVID-19, where from immunobiology to management is discussed in detail. Additional details as on vaccination and long COVID is also provided for interested readers. •It also introduces and gives insight into the concept of chronic critical care, which is a new jargon in the specialty of critical care medicine, to make practitioners aware about its identification, diagnosis, and catastrophic effects. •The language of the book has been kept simple and easy to make it readable and have better understanding with a hope to fulfill the long-felt need of intensivists of the country.
