The administration of intravenous fluids is one of the most common and important therapeutic practices in the treatment of surgical, medical and critically ill patients.
The contents of this book are a selection taken from materials that have been developed during the preparation of continuing education courses (distance learning), whose scientific advisor is the volume editor, Professor Allaria, and that have never previously been published.
Since the very beginning of critical care medicine, much attention has been paid to the risk of bleeding, but only recently the risk of thrombosis has been recognized in critical patients; in fact, current laboratory investigations aimed to monitor blood coagulation are more focused on the assessment of the hemorrhagic than of the thrombotic risk.
Il volume presenta, in modo pratico e sintetico, l’essenziale dell’ecocardiografia generale, con un approfondimento delle tematiche specifiche che riguardano il malato critico in terapia intensiva, e ha lo scopo di fornire la base teorica per iniziare l’applicazione pratica della metodica in reparto.
La respirazione meccanica è una procedura con cui ogni medico che si occupi di medicina intensiva, di discipline chirurgiche e di medicina generale deve quotidianamente confrontarsi.
At the APICE '96 research scientists and clinicians were provided with updated guidelines for the treatment of patients with acute and chronic critical conditions.
The end of the second millenium is distinguished for the increasing interest in the field of critical care medicine, not only among physicians and clinical scientists but also on the part of the mass media.
The management of critically ill patients has,in the past few years, been a discipline at the forefront of development which continues to make progress with the support of basic and clinical research in the broadest sense.
Continuous update in critical care medicine is a real challenge due to the growing dimensions of its contents; these elements are the result of new research acquisitions, and of those clinical situations where the physician is able to intervene at a given moment, with the use of effective prevention techniques.

Trauma has assumed a prominent role in contemporary medicine as an event that can significantly influence clinical variables such as morbidity, functional deficits and consequential disability, and mortality.

The foundation of the World Federation of Societies of Anesthesiologists came to light in September 1955 after informal meetings had commenced in 1951 to explore the possibilities of a world body in anesthesia.
Basic research, progress in technology and informatics, and the success of clinical pharmacology are the fundamental bases of this interesting field of medicine.
Hyperbaric oxygen application has now become a useful technique for both diagnostic and therapeutic purposes in CNS, cardiovascular and respiratory diseases, as well as in soft-tissue and orthopaedic pathologies and haematologic disorders.
Si intende per monitoraggio non solo quello strumentale ben noto, ma anche l’acquisizione di un insieme di informazioni dalle più semplici (semeiotica) alle più complesse (emodinamica, equilibrio acido-base, coagulazione, scambi respiratori, funzione renale, metabolismo ecc.
Gli esami di valutazione della funzionalità respiratoria sono sempre più diffusi e hanno assunto un valore elevato nella decisione terapeutica e nella perizia medica.
Respiratory system and artificial ventilation are key topics when considering the main aspects of Anaesthesiology and Critical Care Medicine: assisted ventilation techniques are essential to preserve the patient's life, but just as any other treatments they can be also extremely pernicious.
For many years we have been talking about a very special patient, the embryo; and the numerous and encouraging successes brought about by embryofetal medicine in the application of both noninvasive therapies and invasive ultrasound-guided tre- ment are well known.
Incisional hernia surgery has witnessed an important progress over the last years, not only as far as the pathophysiological and etiopathogenetic aspects are concerned, but also from a technical point of view.
More than 20 years ago it was recognized by Stoutenbeek and colleagues that patients in the intensive care unit suffered from infections developed whilst being treated.
La respirazione meccanica è una procedura con cui ogni medico di medicina intensiva e ogni specializzando nelle discipline sia chirurgiche che di medicina generale si deve quotidianamente confrontare.
Questa monografia contiene una dettagliata descrizione del metodo MLAC e delle sue applicazioni e un'ampia ed aggiornata revisione degli studi più significativi sull'argomento e delle loro implicazioni cliniche.
Developing sectors in the intensive care field - and in critical care medicine in general - require specific levels of competence having a same common denominator: an in-depth knowledge of human pathophysiology.
Progress in the field of medicine over the last 50 years has led to important results for society, both in terms of prevention and in the treatment of single or variously associated pathologies.
