Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Handbook of Mediators in Septic Shock presents a comprehensive, systematic evaluation of the various putative mediators of septic shock through the use of meta-analysis. Experts of individual mediators have objectively evaluated the collective literature using classical Koch-Dale Criteria for causal relationships. A decision tree approach has been used to analyze the existing evidence for each of the four Koch-Dale Criteria for each individual mediator of septic shock. The book provides an integrated perspective that describes how these many mediators interact. It also covers how advances in mathematical modeling of complex realities are applied to the field of septic shock pathogenesis. CRC Handbook of Mediators in Septic Shock will be a useful reference for emergency room and intensive care physicians, trauma specialists, pathophysiologists, physiologists, biochemists, pharmacologists, and others interested in the topic.

Book excerpt: The Sepsis Handbook offers assistance in the rapid diagnosis of sepsis through an understanding of it's protean manifestations. Sepsis is a complex clinical syndrome that is characterized by the systemic manifestations of infection. It is the most common underlying cause of mortality in non-coronary ICU's. Mortality can be as high as 50% in cases of septic shock, the most severe form. Early recognition of sepsis and timely initiation of appropriate therapy are key for survival from this potentially devastating condition. The Sepsis Handbook provides the reader with an up-to-date overview on the impact of sepsis on public health (epidemiology), its pathophysiology (host response pathways) and early diagnosis. The latter is the prime focus of this book with a comprehensive discussion on the detection of the bacterial pathogens accounting for the majority of sepsis cases. Biomarkers of the host response are also discussed as these may provide further insight into the stage and severity of sepsis. The various topics are written by recognized experts in the field, both from Europe and North America. The contents are presented to the reader in a pragmatic format, integrating theory with daily practice. As such, the Sepsis Handbook is unique because the text is succinct and informative with cases provided to underscore clinical points. The book has abundant clinical cases, illustrations and tables, making the book easy to read and a valuable addition to the library of medical practitioners, students and other interested healthcare professionals. The intention of the Sepsis Handbook is to foster the outstanding ongoing educational efforts of existing sepsis expert networks such as the International Sepsis Forum (www.sepsisforum.org) and the Surviving Sepsis Campaign (www.survivingsepsis.org). It is the hope of the editors and authors that early diagnosis of sepsis will contribute to improved patient care and, ultimately, reduced mortality.

Download or read book Sepsis Management in Resource limited Settings written by Arjen M. Dondorp and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-02-08 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is open access under a CC BY 4.0 license. It constitutes a unique source of knowledge and guidance for all healthcare workers who care for patients with sepsis and septic shock in resource-limited settings. More than eighty percent of the worldwide deaths related to sepsis occur in resource-limited settings in low and middle-income countries. Current international sepsis guidelines cannot be implemented without adaptations towards these settings, mainly because of the difference in local resources and a different spectrum of infectious diseases causing sepsis. This prompted members of the Global Intensive Care working group of the European Society of Intensive Care Medicine (ESICM) and the Mahidol-Oxford Tropical Medicine Research Unit (MORU, Bangkok, Thailand) - among which the Editors – to develop with an international group of experts a comprehensive set of recommendations for the management of sepsis in resource-limited settings. Recommendations are based on both current scientific evidence and clinical experience of clinicians working in resource-limited settings. The book includes an overview chapter outlining the current challenges and future directions of sepsis management as well as general recommendations on the structure and organization of intensive care services in resource-limited settings. Specific recommendations on the recognition and management of patients with sepsis and septic shock in these settings are grouped into seven chapters. The book provides evidence-based practical guidance for doctors in low and middle income countries treating patients with sepsis, and highlights areas for further research and discussion.
