Description: "Care of the Critically Ill Child is a unique and practical guide to the principles and practice of modern paediatric intensive care. It gives clear and concise advice on managing critically ill and injured children, from presentation, through emergency room care, safe transfer to paediatric intensive care, acute complications and the provision of definitive care. The information provided will enable those less familiar with such children to act more effectively in emergencies. Background physiology and epidemiology are also given to assist the process of understanding, diagnosing and treating childhood critical illness and injury."--BOOK JACKET.
