“Critical Care Management of the Obese Patientdoes indeed provide a very useful reference for anybody who is involved in managing critically ill patients because, as time goes on, more and more of these patients are likely to be obese.” (Diabetes Update, 1 October 2013)
This book provides health professionals with sound clinical advice on management of the obese patient admitted into hospital. It addresses all aspects of the patient's care, as well as serving as a resource to facilitate the management of services, use of clinical information, and negotiation of ethical issues that occur in intensive care. As the number of obese patients in intensive care continues to grow, this book will serve as a comprehensive clinical resource for everyday use by both obesity specialists and emergency medicine physicians.
