Critical and Intensive Care: A Survival Guide by Paul Curtis

Critical and Intensive Care: A Survival Guide by Paul Curtis

Critical and intensive care is concerned with the life support and monitoring provided to individuals with life-threatening conditions. Such care is particularly significant in patients with airway or respiratory compromise, instability, acute renal failure, multiple organ failure or potentially lethal cardiac arrhythmias. An important criterion for the facilitation of intensive care to patients is that the condition is potentially reversible and that the patient can survive. Critical care adopts a system-by-system approach to medicine with emphasis on the central nervous system, cardiovascular system, hematology, respiratory system, endocrine system, gastro-intestinal tract, renal system, etc. This book is compiled in such a manner, that it will provide in-depth knowledge about the practice of critical and intensive care. Different approaches, evaluations, methodologies and advanced studies on critical care medicine have been included in this book. For all those who are interested in critical and intensive care medicine and nursing, this book can prove to be an essential guide.

Curtis, Paul: - Paul Curtis was born in Cornwall UK and began contributing photos and articles to newspapers and magazines while still at school. Before he turned twenty, he took a job aboard a cruise ship as a photographer. Over the next six years, Paul mostly worked out of New York on ten different cruise ships before swapping his camera for a microphone and becoming an entertainment officer aboard the original Queen Mary Transatlantic Liner now permanently berthed at Long Beach California, Following the Mary's withdrawal from service, Paul moved to Australia. Here he entered the business world before returning to writing and eventually establishing a magazine and book publishing company. His main interests are all things that float on water, from paddleboards to ocean liners. His photography interests cover everything from the business and history of this industry to the pure joy of making creative images. His books include The Pacific Princess, The Mega Sisters and A History of Professional Photography in Australia. His book on the History of the Cunard Queens will be released in July 2019 by History Press. In 2019, Paul revised and updated his book on the Pacific Princess and released it under the title Aboard the Pacific Princess and added a review of the entire Princess Cruises fleet. He also updated and revised the Mega Sisters to add in new builds and the entire Royal Caribbean fleet and released it under the title, The Oasis Sisters. In August, 2019, Paul tackles the issues of life at sea on small boats with the release of his new book, Better Things Happen at Sea. He has a keen sense of humor and believes that even non-fiction can be fun!
