Foreword
Critically ill surgical patients are a diverse lot. So too are the maladies that befall them, or may
if not prevented. Such patients may have widely divergent patterns of injury, or immunosup-
pression from injury, transfusion, neoplastic disease, or therapy (e.g., glucocorticoids, solid
organ transplantation). Critically ill surgical patients have diverse (abnormal) physiology and
responsiveness to stress, especially at the extremes of age. Elderly patients, in particular, have
senescent immunity and impaired wound healing, and may have cardiovascular disease or
diabetes mellitus that may impair responsiveness to injury-related stress, or disorders of mobil-
ity that may impede recovery.
Despite this diversity, there are crucial commonalities among the disease states of critically
ill surgical patients and the care provided to them. Acute care surgery (trauma, emergency
general surgery, surgical critical care) is inherently invasive. Incisions, percutaneous interven-
tions, and physiologic monitoring catheters all breach epithelial barriers that protect the host
against invasion by pathogens, posing incremental risk to a vulnerable population. Many
patients require several such interventions, often in short order. Nosocomial infection is an
ever-present risk, which in turn has been associated with increased risk of morbidity and mor-
tality related to multiple organ dysfunction syndrome. The human and fi nancial burdens are
enormous, and survivors of complicated ICU courses may need months or years to achieve full
functional recovery and return to productive society, if ever.
That the most unstable, at-risk patients often need the most aggressive, invasive care to
achieve favorable outcomes is the great paradox of critical surgical illness. Great expertise is
needed to restore homeostasis while also preventing the next potential complication. The expe-
rienced acute care surgeon must be facile and adroit with normal and pathologic anatomy,
physiology, biochemistry, pharmacology, and immunology, and must possess the requisite
technical skill to intervene effectively while not placing the patient at further risk. Knowledge
of monitors, devices, medical imaging, and biomaterials requires familiarity with biomedical
engineering. Profi ciency with rehabilitation medicine, medical ethics, communication skills,
and team building serves to keep information fl owing to facilitate effective functioning of the
team of physicians, nurses, therapists, nutritionists, dieticians, and family members that is
integral to the decision making necessary for the successful outcome of every single patient.
Some patients may be unable to recover; they too must be treated with skill and compassion in
their time remaining.
Across the intensive care unit, complex integration of pathophysiology and therapy to bal-
ance risk and benefi t must occur continuously and in parallel for multiple issues in several
patients, and must often be accompanied or followed by decisive interventions. There is no
substitute for experience, especially in that computerized decision support systems and artifi -
cial intelligence engines remain in their infancy.
This volume is directed appropriately and suited especially to medical students, surgery
residents, and fellows in acute care surgery or surgical critical care. Described herein are all of
the common maladies that may require surgical critical care, and the complications that may
develop. Described are procedures that may be indicated in daily practice in the surgical

intensive care unit or the trauma bay. It is hoped that the readership will be guided and inspired
to master these “pearls of wisdom” and techniques, and to incorporate them into their own
practices.
M uch more than just a “how-to” manual, disease-state information is provided herein to
orient the reader to the appropriate use of interventions. Mastery of these techniques combined
with command of a vast body of knowledge is needed to practice acute care surgery effectively
and safely.

Foreword
As the volume and complexity of available information appropriate for intensivists explode,
the bedside clinician would benefi t from a structure from which to evaluate that information.
Accordingly, this work is designed to provide the underpinnings upon which we all rely while
providing bedside care, didactic education, or family counseling. Trainees, fellows, and attend-
ing staff alike will fi nd an easily digestible exploration of relevant topics spanning from nutri-
tion support to advanced ventilation: from antimicrobial stewardship to palliative care. This
textbook is timely and incorporates current information to provide clinicians, regardless of
parent training discipline, the key data needed to provide high value and high quality bedside
care. The authorship refl ects a multi-professional approach to education in deliberate parallel
to the multi-professional fashion in which we help patients, families and each other navigate
the complexity of critical illness. In this fashion, Drs. Martin and Kaplan have infused their
text with the dedication, passion, and sensitivity that drew them and each of us to the ICU to
serve the critically ill and injured to the very best of our abilities.

Pref ace
This 1st edition textbook Principles of Adult Surgical Critical Care is intended to fi ll the litera-
ture gap that exists between standard medical critical care and the surgical complexities that
coincide with critical illness. In the past decade, the value of surgical critical care has been
realized in practices throughout the world, resulting in an infl ux of practitioners and trainees,
all with a need for an advanced yet concise source of current information.
This textbook is focused on practitioners embarking on the fi nal stages of training as well
as those maintaining or expanding their existing clinical skillset. It therefore is not a basic text,
but instead assumes a working knowledge of the underpinnings of critical care. Our format
embraces evidence-based topic reviews focused on the care of the critically ill or injured surgi-
cal patient.
Refl ecting the multi-professional nature of our bedside teams for optimal care, the contents
target multiple practitioner domains across the critical care continuum. As a result, the chapter
authors have included subject matter designed to comprehensively expand the reader’s knowl-
edge base for immediate bedside use, as well as objective test preparation.
F or ease of use, this textbook is organized by organ systems, special populations, and per-
tinent topic sections. Each section contains several chapters addressing relevant disorders and
monitoring and treatment modalities, as well as outcomes. Chapter authors have been person-
ally selected based on national or international acclaim within their respective areas of exper-
tise. As editors, we humbly offer thanks for the innumerable hours our authors have spent in
preparation and refi nement of their work. Without their efforts, this comprehensive volume
would only be a dream instead of the learning tool we envision.
Finally, we would like to dedicate this textbook to all those in the fi nal stages of training
who are preparing to embark on a rewarding career caring for critically ill and injured patients.
On a personal note, we are deeply indebted to our families for supporting us through the count-
less hours we devoted to this book on top of the hours we spent at the bedside – just like each
of you do on a daily basis.
