Description
As the specialty of critical care medicine continues to emerge, there are a large number of important diagnostic and therapeutic procedures that can and should be done at the bedside. This atlas acts as a ready-reference for performing these procedures in the Intensive Care/Critical Care Unit. Utilizing an atlas format, text appears on one page, with complementing line drawings on the facing page. It differs from most books in the literature in that it is much more comprehensive and is specifically geared for the ICU/CCU-oriented audience. In addition, the atlas is cross-referenced to the leading textbooks of critical care medicine, most notably Hall's "Principles of Critical Care".
