Informationen zum Autor Assistant Professor and Consultant; Director of Transplant Intensive Care Unit, Department of Critical Care Medicine, University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania Klappentext Pre- and post-operative care of transplant patients is an aspect of Critical Care Medicine in which most ICU physicians and nurses have received little or no formal training and are left to cope with this complex population with only spotty, incomplete 'on-the-job experience' as a guide. In response to this clinical knowledge gap, this book provides a concise 'at the bedside' resource for clinicians caring for abdominal organ transplant patients before and after surgery. "This is a quick introduction to care of a complex patient group. The presentation is clear, but additional diagrams and references could be helpful. Readers should be aware that the greatest emphasis is on liver transplantation, which is the topic of half of the chapters." -- DOODY'S Zusammenfassung Pre- and post-operative care of transplant patients is an aspect of Critical Care Medicine in which most ICU physicians and nurses have received little or no formal training and are left to cope with this complex population with only incomplete 'on-the-job experience' as a guide.
