Parrillo and Dellinger's Critical Care Medicine: Principles of Diagnosis and Management in the Adult, 6th Edition

Providing evidence-based, practical guidance on the full spectrum of adult critical care, Parrillo and Dellinger's Critical Care Medicine: Principles of Diagnosis and Management in the Adult, 6th Edition, brings you fully up to date with the latest advances in the field. Grounded in the principle that critical care is defined by the level of care delivered—not the location in which it occurs—this text is written for all clinicians who care for critically ill patients. Designed for those managing critically ill and injured patients across disciplines, care environments, and resource-variable settings, it provides practical, evidence-based guidance for real-world practice.

• Offers an expanded focus on health equity, clinician well-being, and AI-driven decision support in the ICU
• Covers diagnostic and procedural techniques, mechanical assist devices, extra-corporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), performance improvement and quality, and more
• Contains five new chapters on Quantitative and Qualitative Imaging of the Lungs in ARDS; Intracerebral Hemorrhage and Subarachnoid Hemorrhage; Burnout and Critical Care Resources; Health Inequities in Adult Critical Care; and Predictive Analytics and Artificial Intelligence in Critical Care
• Discusses key topics such as patient-ventilator synchrony and non-invasive ventilation for treating chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients with acute respiratory failure
• Presents content in an easy-to-read, problem-and-solution format, with summative key points, high-quality illustrations, tables, and boxes that highlight essential information
• Provides optimal visual guidance with numerous decision tress, clinical photographs, diagnostic imaging, illustrations, charts, and graphs
• Features robust online resources, including dozens of high-quality video clips depicting real-time echocardiography, ultrasonography, and tracheostomy at the bedside; more than 300 multiple-choice questions with answers and rationales; and comprehensive reference lists for further study
• An eBook version is included with purchase. The eBook allows you to access all of the text, figures, and references, with the ability to search, make notes and highlights, and have content read aloud. Additional digital ancillary content may publish up to 6 weeks following the publication date
