{ "item_title" : "Clinical Principles of Intensive Care and Emergency Medicine", "item_author" : [" Caleb R. Haverford "], "item_description" : "When a patient is deteriorating, you need more than memorized algorithms. You need a clear bedside framework for what to assess, what to treat first, and what to reassess next.Clinical Principles of Intensive Care and Emergency Medicine helps you connect acute stabilization with ongoing ICU thinking so you can understand critical illness as a continuous clinical process. Instead of treating emergency assessment, organ support, and ICU follow-up as separate topics, it shows how airway, breathing, circulation, disability, exposure, monitoring, reassessment, communication, and ethics fit together at the bedside.Across 20 focused chapters, you move through airway threats, respiratory failure, mechanical ventilation, shock, sepsis, hemodynamic monitoring, cardiac arrest, neurologic crises, trauma, renal and metabolic emergencies, toxicology, sedation, special populations, procedures, ultrasound, triage, and systems of care. Whether you are preparing for clinical rotations, strengthening emergency decision-making, or reviewing ICU fundamentals, you get a structured map for thinking under pressure.Inside this book, you'll discover: - Master a practical ABCDE approach that helps you separate immediate physiological threats from later diagnostic questions.- Recognize early deterioration through trends in respiratory effort, perfusion, mental status, oxygen needs, urine output, and treatment response.- Build safer airway and ventilation plans by linking oxygenation, carbon dioxide clearance, hemodynamics, sedation, and post-intubation monitoring.- Understand shock, sepsis, cardiac emergencies, trauma, toxicology, kidney injury, acid-base disorders, and endocrine crises as integrated bedside problems.- Apply team communication, handoff discipline, closed-loop instructions, and escalation habits that reduce avoidable errors during acute care.- Strengthen clinical judgment with evidence-informed explanations that show why decisions change across pregnancy, pediatrics, frailty, chronic disease, and limited resources.- Use procedures, devices, bedside ultrasound, triage, ethics, and family communication as essential parts of safe critical illness management.Ready to move from scattered facts to organized acute-care reasoning? Use this textbook as a practical foundation for study, review, clinical discussion, and safer bedside decision-making.", "item_img_path" : "https://covers4.booksamillion.com/covers/bam/9/79/818/541/9798185413579_b.jpg", "price_data" : { "retail_price" : "249.99", "online_price" : "249.99", "our_price" : "249.99", "club_price" : "249.99", "savings_pct" : "0", "savings_amt" : "0.00", "club_savings_pct" : "0", "club_savings_amt" : "0.00", "discount_pct" : "10", "store_price" : "" } }
