Intensive & Critical Care Medicine (PDF)

By Volker Herold
Intensive and Critical Care Medicine is a comprehensive, practice-oriented handbook designed for clinicians working in intensive care units, emergency medicine, and acute care settings.
Intensive care medicine is complex, fast-paced, and requires sound clinical judgment under time pressure. This book provides clear, structured, and evidence-based guidance to support everyday decision-making at the bedside. The focus is deliberately placed on practical management strategies rather than theoretical background, making it a reliable reference for real-world clinical situations.
The content covers a broad range of topics in intensive and critical care medicine, including:

Airway management and mechanical ventilation
Hemodynamic monitoring and shock management
Sepsis, infections, and antimicrobial therapy
Cardiovascular, respiratory, and neurological emergencies
Renal replacement therapy and extracorporeal support
Sedation, analgesia, and delirium management
Ultrasound and imaging in critical care
Ethical considerations and end-of-life decision making

Clinical concepts are presented in a concise and structured format, supported by tables, algorithms, figures, and illustrative images to facilitate rapid orientation during clinical practice.
This handbook is intended for:

Intensive care physicians
Emergency physicians
Anesthesiologists
Residents and fellows in critical care training
Advanced practice providers and experienced ICU staff

Intensive and Critical Care Medicine serves as a practical bedside reference as well as a structured learning resource for clinicians seeking reliable guidance in the management of critically ill patients.
