Cases in Paediatric Critical Care Transfer and Retrieval Medicine Summary

Cases in Paediatric Critical Care Transfer and Retrieval Medicine by Shelley Riphagen

Critically ill paediatric transfers have expanded rapidly over the past ten years and, as such, the need for transfer teams to recognise, understand and treat the various illnesses that they encounter is greater than ever. This highly illustrated book covers a multitude of clinical presentations in a case-based format to allow an authentic feel to the transfer process. Written by clinicians with experience in thousands of transfers, it brings together many years of experience from a world-renowned hospital. Following the case from initial presentation, to resuscitation and referral and finally with the transfer itself; the book explores the clinical stabilisation, human factors decisions and logistical challenges that are encountered every day by these teams. Following the entire journey, this is an ideal resource for all professionals who may be involved in critical care transfer and retrieval medicine, particularly those working in paediatrics, emergency medicine, anaesthesiology, intensive care, or pre-hospital settings.

Cases in Paediatric Critical Care Transfer and Retrieval Medicine Reviews

'Caring for critically unwell and injured patients in a pre-hospital environment is extremely difficult. Healthcare professionals undertaking this work must embrace dynamic risk, meticulous attention to detail and be able to perform in the most challenging of circumstances. When applied to a paediatric population this cognitive burden increases, requiring a huge amount of additional knowledge, skills and behaviours to overcome. This book expertly describes the challenges and solutions in an array of complex paediatric cases. It is essential reading for any healthcare professional who provides paediatric critical care and moves children from A to B.' Dr Rob Major, FRCEM FIMC MA, HEMS Consultant, Honorary Clinical Lecturer, Centre for Neuroscience, Surgery and Trauma, QMUL, Chair, Research Audit Innovation and Development and Training and Education Lead, East Anglian Air Ambulance
