Clinical research in critical care has exploded in the past several years and we now have a much better understanding of how to care for intensive care unit (ICU) patients in areas such as management of sepsis, fluid resuscitation, mechanical ventilation, antibiotic administration, and sedation and analgesia. However, despite improved clinical care, many critically ill patients continue to experience complications of critical illness - some complications are iatrogenic and preventable, while others are simply a component of the natural history of critical illness. These complications lead to increased mortality, morbidity, cost, and long-term chronic conditions. Non-Pulmonary Complications of Critical Care: A Clinical Guide is a valuable resource for trainees and clinicians who aim to better understand and improve the quality of critical care medicine. Armed with information about potential non-pulmonary complications of ICU care and strategies to minimize or prevent those complications, the critical care clinician will be able to help ICU patients potentially avoid much of the morbidity associated with critical illness. This book is organized by organ system such that it can be easily used as a bedside reference. Complications caused by pharmaceuticals are dispersed throughout every chapter and the concluding chapters provide a special emphasis on meticulous supportive care of the critically ill patient to allow the best chance for recovery.  .

Wenn wir durch einen Unfall oder eine nicht heilbare Erkrankung in eine lebensbedrohliche Krise geraten, sind wir stärker als sonst auf Andere angewiesen. Wenn wir uns nicht mehr äußern können, womöglich auf längere Sicht nicht mehr urteilsfähig sind, müssen Andere, in erster Linie die behandelnden Ärzte und Angehörigen, einen guten Weg in Bezug auf Diagnose und Therapie finden. Rasch kann die Frage aufkommen, an welchen ethischen Normen und Kriterien man sich orientieren soll, wenn ein Patient sein Recht auf Selbstbestimmung nicht mehr wahrnehmen kann und sich auch keine schriftliche Vorausverfügung und kein 'mutmaßlicher Wille' zuverlässig feststellen lassen. Ausgehend von historischen, empirisch-sozialwissenschaftlichen und theoretischen Überlegungen zur ärztlichen Praxis werden ethische Argumente auf ihre Tragfähigkeit hin geprüft. Im Zentrum des Buchs stehen u.a. die Unterscheidung von Tun und Unterlassen, die Bewertung von Lebensqualität und Leiden, die argumentative Kraft von Konzepten wie 'medizinische Nutzlosigkeit' 'künstliche' oder 'außerordentliche' Mittel und 'infauste' Prognose sowie der Stellenwert von Wünschen und Bedürfnissen Angehöriger.

A frank analysis of the medical and emotional inequalities that pervade the healthcare process for critically ill children Families who have a child with a life-threatening illness face a daunting road ahead of them, one that not only upends their everyday lives, but also strikes at the very heart of parenthood. In “Save My Kid,” Amanda M. Gengler traces the emotional difficulties these families navigate as they confront a fundamentally unequal healthcare system in the United States. Gengler reveals the unrecognized, everyday inequalities tangled up in the process of seeking medical care, showing how different families manage their children’s critical illnesses. She also uncovers the role that emotional goals—deeply rooted in the culture of illness and medicine—play in medical decision-making, healthcare interactions, and the end of children’s lives. A deeply compassionate read, “Save My Kid” is an inside look at inequality in healthcare among those with the most at stake.
