This book aims to provide a next-step in resuscitation care compared to the standard Advanced life support (ALS) guidelines of the European Resuscitation Council (ERC) or the American heart association (AHA), the trauma care guidelines for Advanced Trauma Life Support (ATLS) and the European Trauma Course (ETC) guidelines. Compared to these guidelines, “Expert life support” provides a more in-depth discussion of topics not extensively discussed in existing guidelines, and it also covers (relatively) new techniques and concepts, such as endovascular resuscitation and physiology-guided resuscitation.

The overall aim of the book is to provide acute care providers from various backgrounds (pre-hospital as well as in-hospital) and various disciplines with up-to-date, evidence-based guidance on the (advanced) management of critically ill patients. In its chapters, the Author aims to describe treatment options for the initial treatment of critically ill patients in a concise- and accessible way, based on the most recent literature. Short summaries are provided after each chapter.
