METABOLIC DISORDERS AND CRITICALLY ILL PATIENTS...

The purpose of this book is to bring together the latest findings on metabolic disorders that
are strongly implicated in various critically ill patients. Since the beginning of the 20th
century  maintaining the milieu intérieur has been a major challenge for intensivists. In
addition to considerable technological developments in intensive care units  important advances
in our understanding of metabolic disorders observed in critically ill patients have been made
during the 10 last years. Today  the intensivit can¿t ignore these disorders when selecting the
most appropriate treatment for an illness. Cellular metabolic abnormalities are responsible for
systems and organ failures  so the modern approach of organ dysfunctions now includes
prevention or treatment of such disorders. This book is a comprehensive tool  allowing the
physician to understand  diagnose and treat these metabolic disorders. Water  electrolyte 
acid-base  glycemic and endocrinologic problems  as well as metabolic abnormalities observed in
renal  cerebral and hepatic failure are presented in different chapters. The last part of the
book is devoted to modern nutritional concepts  the consequences of energy modifications 
mitochondrial dysfunction  hypothermia  oxidative stress and ischemia reperfusion  which open
the way for new therapies.¿
