Fundamental Critical Care Support: Resource Limited 2020 AZW3 + EPUB + Converted PDF

Fundamental Critical Care Support (FCCS): Resource Limited is designed for multiprofessional caregivers who may encounter critically ill or injured patients in austere and operational environments. FCCS: Resource Limited addresses the unique challenges faced when resources are limited and the impact these limitations have on providing critical care. The book and course curriculum also emphasize the unique injuries and illnesses associated with armed conflict, such as burns, blasts, and polytrauma, as well as injuries and illnesses in such areas as tropical diseases, neurology, coronary syndromes, pediatrics, and obstetrics that are often encountered in other resource-limited settings. Delivery of care is presented in a manner that is specific to managing resource limitations, resource allocation, triage, and ethical implications of these environments. FCCS courses introduce important critical care principles to nonintensivists who may treat critically ill or injured patients. The focus is on early recognition and assessment of the critically ill patient and discussion of core management strategies during the first 24 hours of critical illness.
