Applied Physiology in Intensive Care Medicine With (116 Figures and 21 Tables)
Document Content and Description Below
The practice of intensive care medicine is at the very forefront of titration of treatment and monitoring response. The substrate of this care is the critically ill patient who, by definition, is at... the limits of his or her physiologic reserve. Such patients need immediate, aggressive but balanced life-altering interventions to minimize the detrimental aspects of acute illness and hasten recovery. Treatment decisions and response to therapy are usually assessed by measures of physiologic function, such as assessed by cardio-respiratory monitoring. However, how one uses such information is often unclear and rarely supported by prospective clinical trials. In reality, the bedside clinician is forced to rely primarily on physiologic principles in determining the best treatments and response to therapy. However, the physiologic foundation present in practicing physicians is uneven and occasionally supported more by habit or prior training than science. [Show More]
