Summary

This book provides health professionals with sound clinical advice on management of the obese patient admitted into hospital. It addresses all aspects of the patients care, as well as serving as a resource to facilitate the management of services, use of clinical information, and negotiation of ethical issues that occur in intensive care. As the number of obese patients in intensive care continues to grow, this book will serve as a comprehensive clinical resource for everyday use by both obesity specialists and emergency medicine physicians.
