Oncologic Critical Care

Nates, Joseph L.

Oncologic Critical Care, Second Edition is the most comprehensive resource dedicated to the care of critically ill patients with cancer and establishes the foundations for the modern practice of oncologic critical care. This text provides an in-depth review of the full spectrum of clinical challenges encountered in the oncologic intensive care unit, with particular emphasis on the diagnosis, management, and longitudinal care of this uniquely complex patient population.

Comprised of approximately 150 chapters, the book explores a broad range of topics including the organization and management of an oncologic ICUs; diseases and complications encountered in critically ill cancer patients; multidisciplinary and team-based care; chimeric antigen receptor T-cell and related immune effector therapies; prehabilitation prior to surgery; enhanced recovery after surgery; perioperative and postoperative care; transfusion medicine; special patient populations; critical care procedures; ethics; pain management; and palliative care.

Written by internationally recognized experts, Oncologic Critical Care serves as an essential resource for intensivists, oncologists, surgeons, anesthesiologists, hospitalists, nurses, advanced practice providers, pharmacists, trainees, and healthcare leaders who confront critical care illness in cancer patients daily. This text addresses critical knowledge gaps in the field and provides a comprehensive, contemporary framework to support clinical decision-making and improve outcomes in this rapidly evolving discipline.
