This book discusses the most recent evidence-based approach to hematological diagnosis and management in ICU. It elaborates on the hematological problems in critical care setup, from hematological malignancies to post-operative management of bone marrow transplants. The book also covers the interpretation of laboratory abnormalities, administration of various chemotherapeutic agents, and critical care management of various primary and secondary hematological issues. It explains how to handle different complications in the intensive care unit. Various coagulation tests and their interpretations, particularly point-of-care tests such as thromboelastography and ROTEM are also focused on.
Critical Care Hematology will benefit practitioners and trainees in hematology and critical care medicine. The book's comprehensive coverage will provide readers with a holistic view of the appropriate approaches to hematology in the ICU. Also, the chapters provide a systematic approach to diagnosing and flowcharts to assist medical practitioners in making timely decisions amid their hectic duties.
