Handbook of Pediatric Surgical Critical Care

File Size: 3.65 Mb

Description

Two years ago, a group of pediatric surgeons with interest and training in surgical critical care met to cultivate and enhance our collective experience within pediatric surgery. We felt that as pediatric surgeons, our voices remain unique, relevant and valuable in caring for our patients, in the training of our fellows, and in informing our colleagues. One of the first projects that we embarked upon is a Handbook of Pediatric Surgical Critical Care. We felt that this would create a uniform basis for our critical care and pediatric surgical curriculum. We also thought that this handbook would provide another dimension to the training for neonatology, pediatric critical care, and adult critical care fellows. Finally, we felt that this project may be helpful to our colleagues, who already in practice, as a point of reference in the care of the most complex surgical patients.

I personally would like to thank all the contributors to this seminal project. We also thank APSA Staff for helping us put this project together. We would also like to thank APSA for allowing the website to be the platform for dissemination of the handbook.
