Overview

This extensively updated textbook comprehensively reviews the latest developments in evidence-based critical care. Topics are covered in a case study format with an emphasis on the principles of diagnosis and therapy. Each topic is covered using a variety of case studies and features a case vignette, clinical question and an additional discussion section to clarify areas of particular importance. Topics including cytokine release syndrome, sympathomimetic overdose and palliative care in the intensive care unit have been extensively revised, while new sections focusing on neuromuscular disease and subarachnoid hemorrhages have been added.

Evidence-Based Critical Care, 2^nd edition is a critical resource for critical care practitioners, fellows, residents; allied health professionals and medical students who wish to expand their knowledge within critical care.

Editorial Reviews

Reviewer: David James Dries, MSE, MD (Regions Hospital)
Description: This is the second edition of a case-based critical care textbook. The original edition was published in 2017.
Purpose: The purpose is to present a survey of cases selected by the contributing authors of each chapter. Chapters review treatment strategies for the clinical problem and present standard as well as more controversial management options.
Audience: This book, written by a multidisciplinary group of contributors, will benefit senior trainees in critical care medicine coming from the core disciplines of internal medicine, anesthesiology, and surgery. The authors and contributors are affiliated with the medical school at the University of Michigan.
Features: The book contains groups of chapters divided by organ system and the clinical service providing care to patients with specific problems. The initial chapters discuss critical care in the emergency room with topics including cardiac arrest, shock, respiratory failure, toxicology, and hypothermia. Subsequent chapter groups include topics consistent with traditional cardiopulmonary disease, neurologic disorders, renal and metabolic disease, endocrinopathies, infectious disease, gastrointestinal crises, and hematologic problems. The cardiac chapters emphasize rhythm problems and coronary artery disease. Respiratory topics emphasize mechanical ventilation and its complications. Neurologic disorders include status epilepticus, meningitis and neuromuscular disease. The renal presentations include electrolyte disorders and management of acute kidney injury. The endocrine chapters discuss endocrine organs individually. Infectious disease presentations include sepsis but emphasize atypical pathogens such as malaria, leptospirosis, and dengue. Gastrointestinal disorders include peritonitis, bleeding, and pancreatitis. Hematologic topics emphasize coagulopathy and complications of hematopoietic cell line disorders. Two brief sets of chapters describe surgical problems and critical care in obstetrics. A small number of topics related to trauma and surgical infections are included as well as one presentation on ECMO. Concluding presentations describe administration and ethical concerns. The chapters are clearly written and contain three parts. First is a brief case presentation in one or two paragraphs followed by a literature-based discussion of standard management. The third portion of the chapter includes controversial aspects of management for the clinical issue listed. Illustrations are frequently used and effectively presented. Some are clinical photographs. Line drawings describe treatment strategies. Each chapter contains an ample reference list. While some topics have references dating to within one year of publication of this volume, other chapters have few references more recent than 10 years prior to release of this book. The table of contents groups chapters according to organ system while a brief subject index offers adequate access to content.
Assessment: This edition is a clear update to the original version of the book. The number and quality of illustrations is improved. Overall presentation of this hardbound volume is impressive. At times, however, discussion of topics is limited by the bounds of the presented cases. In addition, some of the management strategies described for individual problems may be viewed as controversial. While the range of included topics is impressive, it is likely to be perceived as a board review book rather than a comprehensive survey volume.

Doody's Review Service

Evidence-Based Critical Care: A Case Study Approach is an invaluable source of knowledge and reference for anesthesiologists and perioperative physicians. This textbook is a well-written, easy-to-understand reference that covers a broad range of critical care topics organized according to syndrome or diagnosis. ... Clinicians in training will benefit from the entirety of the chapters, whereas attending physicians may find the greatest value in the evidence portions.” (Warren Luksun and Marcin Wąsowicz, Anesthesia & Analgesia, Vol. 126 (4), April, 2018)
