Currency Of Care: Oxygen Delivery in the PCICU - Tapa blanda

Sinopsis

The Currency of Care: Oxygen Delivery in the Pediatric Cardiac ICU is a groundbreaking pediatric cardiac critical care textbook that reframes hemodynamic management through the lens of systemic oxygen delivery. Rather than focusing on blood pressure alone, this book centers on the oximetric principles that truly determine perfusion, organ function, and survival in children with congenital or acquired heart disease.

Written by Rohit Loomba, MD, it bridges physiology, pathophysiology, and bedside application to form a modern framework for care in the pediatric cardiac intensive care unit. Readers will learn how to interpret venous saturations, balance oxygen delivery and consumption, and apply these concepts across biventricular, shunt-dependent, and single-ventricle circulations. Perfect for cardiologists, intensivists, cardiothoracic surgeons, ICU fellows, pediatric residents, nurses, and advanced practice providers, this text provides a clear, data-driven guide to optimizing oxygen transport-because in the pediatric CICU, oxygen-not pressure-is the true measure of care.

Rohit is a pediatric cardiac intensivist and has published over 200 peer-reviewed publications, many of which provide an objective foundation to the principles discussed in this textbook. He is actively engaged in many multicenter efforts and holds several leadership roles.
