The publisher does not provide medical advice or guidance and this work is merely a reference tool. Healthcare professionals, and not the publisher, are solely responsible for the use of this work including all medical judgments and for any resulting diagnosis and treatments. Given continuous, rapid advances in medical science and health information, independent professional verification of medical diagnoses, indications, appropriate pharmaceutical selections and dosages, and treatment options should be made and healthcare professionals should consult a variety of sources. When prescribing medication, healthcare professionals are advised to consult the product information sheet (the manufacturer’s package insert) accompanying each drug to verify, among other things, conditions of use, warnings and side effects and identify any changes in dosage schedule or contraindications, particularly if the medication to be administered is new, infrequently used or has a narrow therapeutic range. To the maximum extent permitted under applicable law, no responsibility is assumed by the publisher for any injury and/or damage to persons or property, as a matter of products liability, negligence law or otherwise, or from any reference to or use by any person of this work.

It is neither the purpose nor the intent of our textbook to serve as a final authoritative source on any medical condition, treatment plan, or clinical intervention, nor should our textbooks be used to rigorously define a rigid standard of care that should be practiced by all clinicians. Every medical encounter must be individualized, and every patient must be approached on a case-by-case basis. At any given moment in time, a physician’s actions and interventions should be guided by real-time, unique circumstances, the current clinical and historical milieu, available resources, his or her individual experience, and, most importantly, clinical judgment. Every attempt has been made to ensure the accuracy of management recommendations and medication dosages. However, the reader is urged to consult other resources for confirmation of recommendations and medication dosages. The editors are pleased to accept comments, corrections, and suggestions.
