OverviewA compact, ready-reference clinical manual of outcome predictions for critically ill intensive care unit patients in the three main critical care categories of medicine, surgery and trauma, and for general patient groups. It uses statistical outcome data compiled by the author from an intensive review of the literature and divides each of the main sections of medicine, surgery and trauma into subsections by organ system. In addition to providing the tools needed for outcome prediction of critically ill patients, the book also includes prediction data for general patient groups based on disease categories and organ-system and specific computer-based state-of-the-art prognosis systems with examples for practitioner orientation.
