The care of critically ill and injured children needs to be safe, evidence-based, equitable, efficient, timely, and family-centered. "Science and Practice of Pediatric Critical Care Medicine" discusses these changes in the specialty in greater scope and detail, offering the reader fresh insight into not only where we came from, but also where we are going as a specialty. Thus, this book is designed for all involved in the management of the pediatric critically ill patient, from physicians, residents and fellows in critical care, pulmonology, cardiology and pediatricians to specialist.
