Overview, clinical evaluation, and chest radiology of ARDS / Vinay Dhingra, James A. Russell, Keith R. Walley -- Epidemiology of ARDS / Bryan G. Garber, Paul C. Hébert -- Pathology of ARDS / J.L. Wright -- Cytokine-induced mechanisms of acute lung injury leading to ARDS / Steven L. Kunkel [and others] -- Pulmonary pathophysiology in ARDS / Keith R. Walley, James A. Russell -- Cardiovascular management of ARDS / Keith R. Walley, James A. Russell -- Mechanical ventilation / Gregory A. Schmidt -- Respiratory muscles and liberation from mechanical ventilation / Rajiv Dhand, Martin J. Tobin -- Clinical assessment and total patient care / James A. Russell, Vinay Dhingra, Keith R. Walley -- ARDS : Innovative therapy / Gordon R. Bernard -- Nosocomial pneumonia in ARDS / Ahmed Bahammam, R. Bruce Light -- Resolution and repair of acute lung injury / Russell Bowler, Chrystelle Garat, Michael A. Matthay -- Multiple system organ failure / Ari Uusaro, James A. Russell -- Outcome and long-term care of ARDS / Richard K. Albert.
Summary: Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome is the most lethal form of acute respiratory failure and presents one of the greatest challenges in critical care medicine. Yet despite its severity and complexity, few texts exist devoted to its diagnosis and management. After presenting the history and epidemiology of ARDS, clinicians will learn the basic science underlying its causes, and how to manage patients in the acute and later stages. Drs Russell and Walley, along with a team of expert contributors, clearly explain such clinical issues as mechanical ventilation, pneumonia, multiple system organ failure, and cardiovascular and pulmonary physiology and monitoring. An extensive chapter on clinical assessment demonstrates the importance of total patient care. Thoroughly referenced, superbly illustrated, and up-to-date, ARDS: A Comprehensive Clinical Approach is an indispensable source of information for intensivists, pulmonologists, internists, anesthesiologists, surgeons and any physician or nurse who rotates through the critical care unit.
