More About This Title Second Vienna Shock Forum PCBR 308
English
The renowned international researchers and physicians who participated in the Second Vienna Schock Forum examine the roles of various mediator systems in shock and the onset of multi-organ failure (MOF), particularly adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Drawing on their laboratory and clinical research, participants discuss scoring systems and analytical techniques used to evaluate patients with MOF and ARDS. Coverage includes genetic engineering approaches, biochemical monitoring, new diagnostic kits, controversies with corticosteroids, and radical scavengers in the cardiopulmonary response.
