Each chapter begins with immediate concerns and proceeds to broader-based discussions of relevant pathophysiologic and clinical issues." "This edition has new sections on shock states; pharmacology, nutrition, toxicology and the environment; and disaster management. New chapters include bedside ultrasound, point of care testing, neurogenic shock, anaphylactic shock, surgical infections, and acute coronary syndrome."--BOOK JACKET.
