This book was released on 2020-02-26 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Merriam Press Medical Science. Since the early 1970s, Pueblo has become an academic medical center. Supported by its two hospitals, Pueblo is the only Colorado city, outside of the Denver metro area, that has two major medical residency programs. St. Mary-Corwin Medical Center has a Family Medicine residency program that trains 20 physicians each year and Parkview Medical Center has an Internal Medicine residency program that trains 30 physicians each year. Parkview Medical Center also has a Critical Care Medicine fellowship program that trains six physicians each year. The early 1970s was an exciting time in medicine and especially critical care medicine in southern Colorado. Bartecchi's goal in this review is to cover the early development of critical care medicine during the early 1970s, and for a number of years after, while he was still active in the care of critically ill patients. 27 photos/illustrations.
Download or read book Textbook of Post ICU Medicine written by Robert D. Stevens and published by Academic. This book was released on 2014 with total page 649 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Surviving critical illness is not always the happy ending that we imagine for patients. Intensive care unit (ICU) teams have traditionally focused on short term goals such as stabilizing or reversing organ system dysfunction, with little understanding of what became of patients once they left the ICU. However, research conducted in recent years has demonstrated that many ICU survivors can suffer from ill health and mental health issues for months or years to follow. The Textbook of Post-ICU Medicine: The Legacy of Critical Care identifies the long term outcomes of ICU and the steps that can be taken to improve patients' health and wellbeing. Describing the major clinical syndromes affecting ICU survivors, the book delineates established or postulated biological mechanisms of the post-acute recovery process, and discusses strategies for treatment and rehabilitation to promote recovery in the ICU and in the long term. The book serves as a unique reference for general practitioners, internists and nurses caring for long term ICU survivors as well as specialists in intensive care medicine, neurology, psychiatry, and rehabilitation medicine.

This book was released on 2016-06-11 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Merriam Press Medical Series #1 First Edition 2016 The early 1970s was an exciting time in medicine and especially critical care medicine in southern Colorado. My goal in this review is to cover the early development of critical care medicine during the early 1970s, and for a number of years after, while I was still active in the care of critically ill patients. I have no intention of covering the past few decades of critical care medicine in Pueblo, a time during which there has been much progress in that specialty and many new, well trained providers of care for the critically ill patients of southern Colorado. Pueblo, the largest city in southern Colorado has been the medical center for that region, having two major, well equipped hospitals, with a total of over 800 beds, during the early 1970s. Parkview Hospital and St. Mary-Corwin Hospital served as a backup for medical and surgical care in southern Colorado, from Pueblo south to New Mexico, east to Kansas and west to Del Norte, Colorado. A large land area, it contained about 100,000 people in Pueblo and over 300,000 in southern Colorado. Between the years 1970 and 1975, the largest concentration of medical and surgical specialists in southern Colorado was in Pueblo. However, it was believed that no new medical specialist had set up practice in that area during the prior 10 years, a time of great advances in critical care medicine and the beginnings of specialists who devoted their practices to critical care medicine. In the late 1960s and early 1970s, internists frequently received consultations on critically ill patients. At that time, without what we later thought of as specialized medical equipment, special X-ray and laboratory capabilities, medications, specialized nursing assistance and team medical concepts, though having all that was readily available to any physician, these physicians managed their critically ill patients as best they could with what they had and saved many lives. 27 photos and illustrations.

Download or read book Controversies in Intensive Care Medicine written by Ralf Kuhlen and published by MWV. This book was released on 2008 with total page 534 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years, many clinical interventions in intensive care medicine have been based on clear scientific evidence. However, at least as many clinical interventions still remain the subject of controversy, either due to a lack of rigorous data or due to the existence of conflicting data. In this book, these controversies are discussed by experts of international renown in their respective fields. The goal is twofold: To provide us with a balanced and unbiased presentation of the subject, explaining the different 'schools of thought' relevant to the controversy; To summarise the data with a clinically useful and valid recommendation for our practice. Virtually all fields of intensive care medicine are covered in over 50 chapters dealing with controversies over treatment options in acute illness states, organising and providing care for acutely ill patients, as well as how to answer ethical questions arising in critical care medicine every day.
