Tissue Oxygen Utilization (Update in Intensive Care and Emergency Medicine)

This book is a collection of essays on the mechanisms that regulate the transport and utilization of oxygen in health and disease. The twenty-nine chapters were written by eminent experts in the areas of biochemistry, cellular and organ physiology, intensive care medicine and surgery. The book includes the latest therapeutic strategies on how to treat hypoxia and alterations in oxygen transport during sepsis. Another particularly interesting contribution discusses the integration of basic biochemical and bioenergetic control analysis with physiological and clinical studies of altered O2 transport.
