Each chapter introduces an initial patient scenario and as the
chapter progresses, the patient scenario develops with the
theoretical perspectives and application. In this way, it is
evident how multi-organ dysfunction develops, impacting upon and
influencing other body systems, demonstrating the multi-organ
impact that is often experienced by the critically ill patient. In
this way, consequences of critical illness such as acute renal
failure, haemostatic failure and liver dysfunction are explored.
Throughout the text, key research findings and critical care
treatment strategies are referred to, applied and evaluated in the
context of the given patient case study. Advanced assessment
techniques are explained and the underlying pathophysiology is
discussed in depth. Advanced Practice in Critical Care is an
essential resource for experienced practitioners within critical
care whom primarily care for patients requiring high dependency or
intensive care.
