ICU Care Of Abdominal Organ Transplant Patients (Pittsburgh Critical Care Medicine) Available To Downloads
Pre- and post-operative care of transplant patients is an aspect of Critical Care Medicine in which most ICU physicians and nurses have received little or no formal training and are left to cope with this complex population with only incomplete "on the job experience" as a guide. In response to this clinical knowledge gap, ICU Care of Abdominal Organ Transplant Patients provides a concise at the bedside resource fo intensivists, surgeons, and nurses caring for abdominal organ transplant patients before and after surgery.In a concise, practical style, the authors offer concrete solutions to questions and situations confronted by ICU clinicians. Chapters address general principles of immunosuppression, infectious complications, management, and nursing considerations plus indications, approach to anesthesia, transplant procedure, and post-operative course for liver, kidney, pancreas, islet cell, and small bowel and multivsceral transplantation.

The world of abdominal transplants – especially involving the liver – was once a rarified place. But as more and more medical centers have developed the capability to perform these complex surgeries, the care of patients has become an urgent matter and one that is of widespread interest. In this well-organized book, Dr. Ali Al-Khafaji, of the Department of Critical Care Medicine at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, lays out the key issues and the best practices associated with pre- and post-operative care for each surgery and each of the many complications. Because UPMC was for many years the epicenter of this activity, under the transplant pioneer, Dr. Thomas Starzl, the UPMC team probably has more experience in the field than any other medical center. Each chapter is written by a noted, experienced practitioner, or sometimes is co-written with Dr. Al Khafaji. Among these experts, incidentally, is Dr. Su Min Cho, the well-known gastroenterologist and Dr. Al-Khafaji’s wife. The book is number six in the Pittsburgh Critical Care Medicine Series, published by Oxford University Press, and it is one of the finest examples in a very good group of titles.
This concise book contains wealth of information that is hard to find elsewhere. Extremely useful to both junior and senior doctors alike, as well as medical students. I would highly recommend this book to anyone wishing to learn more about abdominal transplant.
This book gives a good introduction in that field from an oncologist's view. The needs to read this book may be different from those who take direct care of transplant patients.
It's a very nice choice
not what i expected. A basic book.
