Paul L Marino – författare

Dr. Paul L. Marino’s concise, engaging writing style is just one of many reasons that Marino’s The ICU Book is the best-selling reference in critical care. This highly regarded, full-color resource contains the essential information needed to care for patients in any ICU, regardless of the specialty designation of the unit. The newly revised Fifth Edition continues the focus on practical aspects of patient care and will appeal to anyone with an interest in the care of critically ill patients. The intended audience incudes medical students, interns and residents in medicine, surgery, and anesthesiology, critical care physicians and nurses, physician’s assistants, respiratory therapists, and paramedics. Dr. Marino has been a practicing critical care specialist for 44 years, and the material in his book is a reflection of this vast experience.The text has been completely rewritten and incorporates the latest concepts and most recent clinical practice guidelines.Because this is a single-author text, the writing and style are consistent from chapter to chapter, and redundancies are held to a minimum.New chapters have been added on fluid management, approaches to clinical shock, acute pulmonary embolism, liver failure, and acute pancreatitis.As in prior editions, there are numerous illustrations and tables that highlight the material in the text, and each chapter ends with a section called “A Final Word” that presents a take-home message from the chapter.

This unique work from acclaimed author Dr. Paul Marino (Marino’s The ICU Book, The Little ICU Book) challenges the traditional notion that the human body thrives on oxygen, and that promoting tissue oxygenation is necessary for promoting life. This concept fails to recognize that oxygen is a destructive molecule that also damages the human body.  Instead of welcoming oxygen, the human body limits exposure of the tissues to oxygen, and employs an army of chemical antioxidants to combat the damaging effects of oxygen.  This “oxygen protective” human design represents a new paradigm for the relationship between oxygen and human survival, and it has important implications for the excessive and unregulated use of oxygen in clinical practice. Dr. Marino’s book includes the following  relevant features: Describes how oxygen and its reactive derivatives can damage vital cell components, and how oxygen plays a pivotal role in the damaging effects of inflammation, radiation, and aging.Challenges the traditional notion that oxygen delivery is the principal function of the cardiorespiratory system, and that oxygen transport is the principal function of red blood cells and hemoglobin.Demonstrates how the tissues normally operate in an oxygen-poor environment (which limits the risk of oxidative damage), and how the body counteracts attempts to increase tissue oxygenation.Describes the body’s use of protective antioxidants, and shows how failure to maintain this antioxidant protection makes oxygen inhalation an unrecognized source of harm.Reveals the lack of evidence that cellular hypoxia is a final common pathway for cell death, and proposes that oxygen itself is responsible for the death of aerobic organisms.Proposes a new management strategy that is “oxygen-protective” rather than “oxygen-promoting.”Enrich Your eBook Reading ExperienceRead directly on your preferred device(s), such as computer, tablet, or smartphone.Easily convert to audiobook, powering your content with natural language text-to-speech.

Oxígeno. Un nuevo paradigma es una obra única en su tipo del aclamado autor Dr. Paul Marino (El libro de la UCI y El manual de la UCI) que desafía la noción tradicional de que el cuerpo humano se nutre de oxígeno y que favorecer la oxigenación de los tejidos es necesario para promover la vida. Este concepto no reconoce que el oxígeno es una molécula destructiva que también daña el cuerpo humano. En lugar de dar la bienvenida al oxígeno, el cuerpo humano limita la exposición de los tejidos al oxígeno y emplea un ejército de antioxidantes químicos para combatir sus efectos dañinos. Este diseño humano "protector del oxígeno" representa un nuevo paradigma de la relación entre el oxígeno y la supervivencia humana, y tiene importantes implicaciones para su uso excesivo y no regulado en la práctica clínica.La obra se divide en tres secciones, en las cuales se formula una serie de preguntas para examinar o esclarecer una característica específica relacionada con el oxígeno. La primera sección, titulada “¿Qué importancia tiene el oxígeno?”, desmiente algunas de las creencias tradicionales sobre el oxígeno y las prácticas utilizadas para promover la oxigenación de los tejidos. La segunda sección, titulada “¿Qué tan destructivo es el oxígeno?”, se centra en los efectos perjudiciales del oxígeno (oxidación). En la tercera y última sección, titulada “¿Y ahora qué?”, se presentan recomendaciones para llevar a cabo esta estrategia de protección del oxígeno.
