Infection Control in the Intensive Care Unit (Topics in Anaesthesia and Critical Care)

Description:

"Infection Control in the Intensive Care Unit has been entirely rewritten in this second edition. All statements are justified by the best available evidence, avoiding unsubstantiated expert opinion. The book contains a new section dedicated to the microbiology of the critically ill, specifically, how to process and interpret surveillance cultures to distinguish the 'normal' from the 'abnormal' carrier state."--BOOK JACKET.
