Case-based Review in Critical Care Medicine, 2nd Edition is a comprehensive preparatory book built specifically for the postgraduate critical care examinee. Instead of a conventional chapter format, each of its chapters presents a clinical case and works through it in question-and-answer form, the same way an examiner would question a candidate at the table viva - starting with a dedicated chapter on how to examine an ICU patient in the examination itself.Across 412 pages, the book covers the full spread of cases examinees actually face: respiratory conditions (community-acquired pneumonia, COPD exacerbation, acute severe asthma, pulmonary embolism, ARDS, liberation from mechanical ventilation and ICU-acquired weakness), tropical infections, sepsis and septic shock, cardiac emergencies (acute coronary syndrome), neurological emergencies (eclampsia and cerebral venous thrombosis, subarachnoid hemorrhage, acute ischemic stroke, spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage, meningoencephalitis and status epilepticus, traumatic brain injury), polytrauma, and snake and scorpion bites, among further new chapters on infective endocarditis and acute aortic emergencies.This second edition adds several completely new chapters - Approach to Tropical Infections in the ICU, Acute Coronary Syndrome, Acute Ischemic Stroke, Spontaneous Intracerebral Hemorrhage, Meningoencephalitis and Status Epilepticus, Infective Endocarditis, Acute Aortic Emergencies, and Snake and Scorpion Bites - and every existing chapter has been updated with current evidence up to the point of going to press.Who This Book Is For:Critical Care Fellows and Residents: examinees preparing for DM (CCM), DrNB (CCM), IFCCM, IDCCM and EDIC critical care examinations, for whom the case-based Q&A format directly mirrors the exam's viva and OSCE structure.Why This Book Helps:Mirrors the actual exam format: every case is worked through in the same question-and-answer style used at the table viva, rather than as passive textbook reading.Builds a structured approach: the opening chapter on examining an ICU patient trains the systematic bedside-to-viva process examiners expect.Covers the exam's real case mix: respiratory, cardiac, neurological, infective, traumatic and toxicological emergencies are all represented as standalone cases.Stays current: updated with current evidence up to the point of going to press, with several completely new chapters added for this edition.Key Features:Case-based question-and-answer format across every chapter, mirroring the DM/DrNB/IFCCM/IDCCM/EDIC table viva.100 OSCEs included for structured practice.Eight new chapters in this edition, including Approach to Tropical Infections in the ICU, Acute Coronary Syndrome, Meningoencephalitis and Status Epilepticus, Infective Endocarditis and Acute Aortic Emergencies.Dedicated opening chapter on how to examine an ICU patient in the examination itself.412 pages authored by four senior critical care intensivists and past-presidents of national critical care societies.
