The textbook follows an organ-systems approach, an approach that has proven effective in organizing vast amounts of information in a logical and accessible manner. However, the Seventh Edition also incorporates popular sections covering essential topics such as procedures, overdoses and poisonings, trauma, and surgical challenges within the Intensive Care Unit (ICU).

Meticulously updated to reflect the latest advancements in healthcare, the Seventh Edition earns its place as an unparalleled reference for definitive, practical guidance in adult patient care within the ICU. It presents an encyclopedic and multidisciplinary exploration of both medical and surgical intensive care.

A novel section on noninvasive monitoring equips clinicians with the latest strategies for patient assessment and management. Each chapter has undergone a thorough revision, identifying Advances in Management supported by robust randomized controlled clinical trials. The cardiology section has undergone a complete overhaul, reflecting the transformative advancements in managing acute coronary syndromes.

The Seventh Edition also includes extensive updates on the management of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), diabetes, oncologic emergencies, and overdoses and poisonings. The latter section has been meticulously revised to address the growing prevalence of substance use and its associated complications.

Complementing the comprehensive print text is an exclusive companion website. This digital resource provides instant access to the complete and fully searchable text, enabling clinicians and students to quickly locate essential information.

Continuing its commitment to visual clarity, the Seventh Edition continues to feature predominantly black-and-white illustrations. However, a judicious selection of color illustrations has been incorporated to enhance understanding of complex concepts.
