Communication is the platform from where to start to reach a consensus in an extremely crowded area, a unique multidisciplinary and multiprofessional environment in which quality of care and, ultimately, patient survival need to be ameliorated.

Rezensionen

From the reviews:

"This book, the proceedings from a recent postgraduate course in critical care medicine, is one of a series originating from courses supported by departments of anesthesiology and intensive care medicine in Italy. ... Anesthesiologists, internists, and surgeons managing critical illness are an appropriate audience for this book from an international group of authors noted for work in critical illness in each of these disciplines." (David J. Dries, Doody's Review Service, February 2008)
