Main description:

Manual of ICU Procedures is a comprehensive, step-by-step guide to intensive care procedures.

The book is divided into four anatomical sections, and a final miscellaneous section. Section one covers airway and respiratory, followed by; vascular and cardiac; neurological; gastrointestinal, abdominal, and genitourinary procedures. Each section covers an extensive range of procedures, and each chapter begins with basic principles before describing the procedure step-by-step.

Enhanced by 428 colour images and illustrations, Manual of ICU Procedures is an ideal resource for all critical care professionals.
