About the Book
Manual of Critical Care is a comprehensive, evidence-based resource that provides practical, protocol-driven guidance for the management of critically ill patients across diverse intensive care settings. Integrating current international recommendations with India-specific clinical realities, the book addresses the full spectrum of critical care, including hemodynamic shock, respiratory failure, sepsis, neurocritical care, renal replacement therapies, mechanical circulatory support, and other essential aspects of ICU practice.
Emphasis is placed on pathophysiology-guided clinical decision-making, enabling clinicians to translate evidence into effective bedside care. Designed as both a bedside companion and an academic reference, the book features stepwise algorithms, flowcharts, tables, clinical pathways, and guideline summaries to facilitate rapid diagnosis and timely management. It also incorporates recent advances such as point-of-care ultrasound, artificial intelligence-assisted monitoring, and precision hemodynamic management, while addressing complex clinical scenarios and special patient populations.
Written for intensivists, anesthesiologists, physicians, emergency medicine specialists, fellows, and DM/DrNB trainees, Manual of Critical Care combines scientific rigor with practical relevance to support high-quality, patient-centered critical care.
