Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Short description:
This book is a practical, accessible guide to emergency situations encountered in critical care. The format allows the reader to gain vital clinical information in an easy-to-follow format without spending much time scanning through superfluous detail. Topics are covered in 2 parts: compromised systems and specific conditions.
MoreLong description:
This essential handbook provides a practical, accessible guide to all emergency situations encountered in the critical care setting. Emergencies are very common in the critical care setting; but also surprisingly predictable. This book helps critical care staff identify those at risk, how to manage them, and be prepared in the ward. The book is split into two halves: the first about emergencies within specific systems; the second concentrates on various conditions or groups of
patients. Most chapters begin with a generic description of how to manage emergencies affecting that system, or patient group. This is followed by details of specific diagnoses and how they should be managed. The author team have also tried, where possible, to follow the 'ABC' approach, which is not only
the standard approach to emergency management, but also a widely-used scheme for documenting daily reviews on ICU and for documenting trauma management.
This book will help all critical care staff involved with the management of emergencies, from the new junior doctor to the experienced staff nurse and consultant in a portable and easily-readable format.
...an essential handbook for the critical care unit where emergencies are expected to occur and staff need to recognise the patients who are most likely to deteriorate...ideal to have on the rounds for nursing students and junior doctors...although written by doctors...nursing staff were involved too...highly recommended.
