Preface
Pediatric Critical Care Medicine was conceived as a core textbook and reference text that would provide the foundation for physiologically based clinical practice. We believe that it will provide trainees and practicing physicians with the concepts relevant to caring for the acutely ill or injured children. Our intention was to create a textbook that carefully integrates core principles with clinical practice. The content both provides adequate preparation for the subspecialty certification examination and is a readily available reference for the clinical care of the critically ill child. Although the information provided is the most recently available, the book does not focus on ‘‘hot topics,’’ latebreaking information, or niche content because these days this information can be found more readily through electronic resources.
We believe that we have created a book for the various stages of a pediatric intensivist’s practice. The book addresses the physiologically based concepts that need to be learned by new trainees, provides reference for a particular clinical question, and is substantive enough in its scope to provide a thorough review for the more experienced clinician, refreshing his or her knowledge or preparing for recertification. The organizational philosophy of Pediatric Critical CareMedicine mirrors themental processes that intensive care physicians use in patient care. Intensive care medicine begins with a core knowledge base focused on organ system physiology. Clinicians apply their knowledge of physiologic systems to patient care issues. Life support, as well as other therapies for organ system dysfunction, disease, and failure, depends on a strong understanding of organ system functioning under a variety of conditions. Knowledge about clinical issues is applied to this foundation of physiologic knowledge. As a result, a large part of the text centers on chapters that contain organ system physiology.
Importantly, we relied heavily on our section editors for their expertise in developing the physiology sections and recruiting authors with expertise in the clinical areas. This approach provided the appropriate integration of physiologic materials without duplication and defined the knowledge base that authors of clinical sections could depend on to write their clinical chapters, which were purposely designed to be relatively short and concise and only detail the clinical issues and any unique pathophysiology.
