Hematology in Critical Care

Jecko Thachil (Author), Quentin Hill (Author)

This will be a practical handbook for use in a clinical ICU setting for information on the diagnosis and clinical management of hematological disease in critical care. There are currently no books on the market that significantly address haematology in critical care; all ICU-based books have a broader focus on diagnosis and clinical management rather than being purely haematology-based. Common procedures and interventions for a hematologist will include delivering critical care, often for life-threatening diseases.

For unselected ICU admissions, every patient will have a full blood count, and the great majority will have their coagulation profile checked. Many of these critically ill patients will have abnormalities in these tests that require interpretation. Many more will have clinical conditions such as thrombosis or bleeding and may require blood products.
