Abstract
This book offers an essential guide to managing the most-debated hot topics of practical interest in anesthesia and intensive care. It reviews the state of the art in issues concerning both intensive care medicine and anesthesia, such as perioperative coagulation management, neuroaxial blockade and complications, postoperative pain management, pediatric airway management, septic shock and hemodynamic management, diagnosis and management of acute respiratory distress syndrome, and antifungal treatments for critically ill patients. Written by leading experts and including updated references, it provides a comprehensive, easy-to-follow update on anesthesia and intensive care. The book clearly explains complex topics, offering practicing clinicians valuable insights into the latest recommendations and evidence in the field while, at the same time, making it a vital resource for students new to the fields of anesthesia and intensive care.

Abstract
This book covers all clinical aspects of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), from definition to treatment, focusing on the more recent recommendations and evidence-based medicine. The addressed topics are the various ventilation strategies, the impact of prone positioning, the use of partial and total extracorporeal support, the value of vasodilators, the weaning from mechanical ventilation, the pharmacological interventions, noninvasive ventilation, and the strategies using anti-inflammatory agents and stem cells. Furthermore, different related topics are also discussed, such as lung imaging, sedation, metabolic support, and hemodynamic instability. A concluding chapter specifically addresses ARDS in children. This up-to-date volume, written by experts in the field, will be of value for all health care practitioners seeking state of the art on the management of patients with this complex syndrome.
Contents
Definition, prevalence and outcome -- Pathophysiology -- Ventilation strategies: tidal volume and PEEP -- Ventilation strategies: high-frequency oscillatory ventilation -- Ventilation strategies: recruitment maneuvers -- Prone position -- Partial or total extracorporeal support -- Vasodilators -- Weaning -- Lung imaging -- Metabolic support -- Pharmacological interventions: Neuromuscolar blocking agents -- Ventilator-induced lung injury -- Monitoring of respiratory mechanics -- Noninvasive ventilation -- Interaction between heart and lung -- Anti-inflammatory agents and stem cells -- Sedation -- ARDS in children -- Pulmonary infections in ARDS.
