TEXTBOOK OF ONCOLOGIC CRITICAL CARE MANAGEMENT: Comprehensive ICU Reference for Cancer Emergencies, Sepsis, Organ Failure, Airway, Shock, and Clinical Procedures

In today's intensive care environment, clinicians are increasingly caring for patients whose critical illness is shaped not only by organ failure, but also by cancer, immunosuppression, complex therapies, and rapidly evolving treatment complications. TEXTBOOK OF ONCOLOGIC CRITICAL CARE MANAGEMENT provides a comprehensive, clinically focused guide to the assessment, stabilization, and management of critically ill patients with cancer. Combining the principles of critical care medicine with modern oncology practice, this textbook explores the unique challenges faced when malignancy, treatment-related toxicities, infection, organ dysfunction, and life-threatening emergencies intersect. From oncologic emergencies and septic shock to acute respiratory failure, cardiovascular instability, renal complications, hematologic disorders, neurologic emergencies, transplantation-related complications, and palliative care, this resource presents a structured framework for understanding and managing complex clinical situations encountered in intensive care settings. Inside this book, readers will explore: Foundations and core principles of oncologic critical care Initial assessment, triage, prognostication, and clinical decision-making Infections, neutropenic sepsis, septic shock, and antimicrobial management Acute respiratory failure and pulmonary complications in immunocompromised patients Shock states, cardiovascular emergencies, and hemodynamic support Renal, metabolic, and endocrine emergencies Hematologic and coagulation disorders Neurologic and neuro-oncologic emergencies Gastrointestinal, hepatic, and nutritional complications Critical care challenges related to chemotherapy, immunotherapy, transplantation, and cellular therapies Mechanical ventilation, organ support, and intensive care procedures Postoperative oncologic critical care Communication, ethics, palliative care, survivorship, and care transitions What sets this textbook apart is its multidisciplinary perspective.
