This work discusses various aspects of critical care medicine, including the philosophy and ethics of critical care, imaging techniques, the clinical presentation, basic physiopathology and management of life-threatening illnesses involving various organ systems of the body. It also deals with critical care in trauma, following open heart surgery, and in poisonings. The critical care of fulminant tropical infections, particularly when complicated by multiple organ dysfunction has been of special interest. May be of value to those interested in critical care medicine, emergency medicine, physicians, registrars, postgraduate students and surgeons and those interested in acute infection management.
