    • Addresses the most common rapid response situations in a brief, highly templated, and bulleted format designed for quick reference at the point of care. 

    • Step-by-step coverage includes: 

      • Which stabilization measures to implement 

      • Which tests to order and why 

      • Which medications to administer, including dosage 

      • Which specialists to consult for further interventions 

    • A must-have reference for hospitalists, intensivists, ICU nurses, and other rapid response team members, including those working in rural settings with few intensivists or specialists available for consults. 

    • Enhanced eBook version included with purchase. Your enhanced eBook allows you to access all of the text, figures, and references from the book on a variety of devices.
