September 2006
Veterinary Emergency and Critical Care Manual is a step-by-step diagnostic and therapeutic instruction manual – this is THE critical care book for all veterinarians and students. The manual covers the decision-making, and the management process in a format ideal for practical patient-side use. The treatment and procedure oriented focus has been enhanced through the use of more charts, tables and algorithms. The unique style of step-by-step diagnostic and procedural instruction is maintained throughout. Included in the 73 additional chapters is an important section on acid-base assessment which emphasizes the use of the biochemical profile in assessing the acid-base condition. Venous and arterial blood gas analysis and all electrolyte abnormalities are also discussed. Four chapters are also included on emergency care of ferrets, rabbits, birds and reptiles.
