Infections in the Adult Intensive Care Unit cover

The book will provide some basic aspects of the pathophysiology of infection, but essentially the book will be practical-based and use case-illustrations to highlight key aspects of diagnosis, management and prevention. Through a combination of text, tables, figures/line drawings, clinical illustrations and other illustrations, it is hoped to provide a comprehensive, interesting and stimulating approach to this important subject. Guidance on the appropriate use of laboratory investigations, as well as radiology, together with templates to use for deciding on the optimal choice of anti-infective agents will be amongst the strengths of this book.

From the reviews:

“This small book is devoted to the basic science and general epidemiology of infections that may complicate critical care practice. … Infectious disease consultants and laboratory staff supporting infection control programs are an appropriate audience for this work, written by three specialists from the U.K. … It emphasizes epidemiology and a scientific approach to infection in an effective presentation.” (David J. Dries, Doody’s Book Reviews, May, 2013)
