Life Support: A Family Clinical Guide

By Michael P. Hahn

This work provides an enormous wealth of detail about life support services and their impact on the patient. The basic terms and functions are defined and discussed in the first part of the book. This is followed by detailed examinations of four primary areas of life support: hydration, nutrition, circulation and breathing. Neuroscience and the problems associated with brain injuries are also fully covered. Concluding chapters look at the dying process and its effects on family members.
