Physiological and Metabolic Basis for the Initial Treatment of the Critically Ill Patient
Description
Manuscript is undated. Possibly written between 1975 and 1980. Computed tomography (CT) wasn’t in widespread use in hospitals in the United States before 1975 (see reference to CT Scan on page 5). Additionally, the absence of discussion of mechanical ventilation parameters with regard to oxygenation and hemodynamics would suggest protocols in effect prior to 1980.Keyword
