In the recent years, in fact, five new randomised controlled trials and five new meta-analyses demonstrate that selective decontamination of the digestive tract [SDD] is an antimicrobial prophylaxis to prevent severe infections of not only lower airways but also of blood. Additionally, SDD has been shown to reduce inflammation including multiple organ failure and mortality. An intriguing observation is the evidence that SDD using parenteral and enteral antimicrobials reduces rather than increases antimicrobial resistance. Moreover, a new chapter on microcirculation had been added. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe volume will be an invaluable tool for all those requiring in depth knowledge in the ever expanding field of infection control.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2011-12-26\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9788847016002\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-88-470-1601-9\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 513\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Milan","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47401231515788,"sku":"9788847016002","price":152.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9788847016002.jpg?v=1775790422","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9788847016002","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
