Applied physiology in intensive care medicine. 2, Physiological reviews and editorials

Applied physiology in intensive care medicine. 2, Physiological reviews and editorials / M.R. Pinsky [and others] (Eds.).

The two previous editions of Applied Physiology in Intensive Care Medicine proved extremely successful, and the book has now been revised and split into two volumes to enhance ease of use. In this second volume some of the most renowned experts in the field offer detailed reviews on measurement tech...
