Description:
Patterned after the renowned Walls Manual of Emergency Airway Management, Manual of Airway Management in Critical Care is a concise, focused reference on this challenging topic specifically for ICU providers. Drs. Jarrod M. Mosier, Calvin A. Brown III, Matteo Parotto, and Raquel R. Bartz bring their extensive expertise in critical care airway management to this all-new volume, as well as Dr. Mosier's experience as director of the nationally recognized The Difficult Airway Course: Critical Care(tm). An excellent resource for intensivists, advanced practice providers, critical care nurses, and respiratory therapists, this first-of-its-kind text reflects ICU airway management from cover to cover: its unique standards of care, its unique risks, and its unique body of literature that set it apart from other medical disciplines.
