About this ebook
The Washington Manual of Critical Care (4th Edition) covers comprehensive bedside diagnosis, clinical management algorithms, and treatment protocols for the most frequently encountered acute illnesses in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). [1, 2]
Core Clinical Topics & Systems
  • Shock & Sepsis: Pathophysiology, resuscitation, vasopressors, and targeted sepsis bundles.
  • Respiratory Disorders: Severe COPD, acute asthma exacerbations, and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).
  • Cardiac Disorders: Acute myocardial infarction (AMI), severe arrhythmias, and acute heart failure.
  • Neurologic Disorders: Stroke, status epilepticus, altered mental status, and neurotrauma.
  • Renal & Acid-Base: Acute kidney injury (AKI), continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT), and complex acid-base imbalances.
  • Gastrointestinal & Hepatic: Acute gastrointestinal bleeding, acute liver failure, and pancreatitis.
  • Hematopoietic & Oncologic: Thrombocytopenia, coagulopathies, and life-threatening oncologic emergencies.
  • Endocrine & Metabolism: Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), hyperosmolar hyperglycemic state (HHS), and severe electrolyte abnormalities.
  • Infectious Diseases: Nosocomial infections, severe community-acquired infections, and antibiotic stewardship.
  • Toxicology & Environment: Overdose management, toxic ingestions, and severe temperature deregulation. [1, 2, 3, 4]
Procedures & Appendices
