This book covers a wide array of hematologic problems commonly encountered in the daily practice of critical care and emergency medicine. Unfortunately, the symptoms and signs associated with underlying hematologic disorders are frequently rather unspecific and confounding; furthermore, the clinical course of patients admitted to intensive care units with such disorders can be fulminant, warranting prompt diagnosis. This book recognizes the importance of accurate and speedy interpretation of symptoms in that the text is symptom oriented rather than disease oriented. Put another way, the reader confronted with a particular clinical problem or symptom will be guided step by step to the possible underlying disorder(s). The scenarios considered include critical illness in patients with anemia, leukopenia, leukocytosis, abnormal platelet count, and severe transfusion reactions. For each circumstance, factors relevant to symptom interpretation are fully discussed. In addition, helpful diagnostic algorithms are presented in the form of flow charts that will assist in decision making regarding the need for further investigations. The closing chapter is devoted to the drug-induced hematologic disorders. Although the book is intended mainly for intensivists, other specialists will find much information of value for their daily practice.

Clinicians are often challenged by the complexity of hematologic issues affecting critically and acutely ill patients. As research in this field continues to thrive, the understanding and management of these hematologic anomalies allow the clinician to be more astute in the recognition and treatment of these conditions. A variety of patient populations are more prone to developing hematologic issues, including those with cardiac, liver, infectious, and oncologic diseases. This issue of Critical Care Nursing Clinics of North America addresses some of the more common hematologic issues that critically ill patients face. The authors discuss the recognition, diagnosis, management, and challenges of a variety of conditions affecting this patient population. As clinicians, we must be prepared to thoroughly evaluate and treat hematologic conditions, such as anemias, thrombocytopenias, and coagulopathies. Our goal is to provide a foundation of knowledge in which the clinician can apply in daily practice in order to provide the highest quality of care for this specialized patient population.
