The Veterinary ICU BookWayne Wingfield, Marc Raffe A resource designed for the veterinary practitioner, technician, and student in any critical care or emergency setting. This book is dedicated to the fundamental clinical signs of astute observation, careful differential diagnosis and analytical therapeutic decision making. The title clearly defines the physiological and clinical principles that are fundamental to the management of the critically ill small animal patient. This practical presentation includes clear guidelines for organizing, equipping and staffing an emergency/Critical Care unit and discusses ethical and legal concerns in Emergency/Critical Care medicine. Veterinary ICU is consistent in layout and liberally uses algorithms, diagnostic imaging and original line art. It is the product of eighty expert contributing authors who have created a concise, clinically specific resource for the specialist, residents in training, veterinary practitioners, technicians and students. Published by Teton New Media in the USA and distributed by Manson Publishing outside of North America. |
