Preface

In the second edition of the work Clinical Cases in the Intensive Care Unit, readers will find not only updated content, but also a renewed approach that incorporates diagnostic, therapeutic, and technological advances in intensive care medicine.

This selection of cases reflects the diversity and complexity of intensive care units worldwide, considering variations in resources, contexts, and management strategies. This book is the result of an international collaborative work, developed as an academic effort of the WFICC, under the leadership of its President, Jorge Hidalgo, and its President-elect, Javier Perez-Fernandez, with the commitment to strengthening clinical decision-making and evidence-based practice in critical environments.
