AB We  present  Lange  Critical  Care  in  the  spirit  of  our  philosophy  that  the  distinctions  between  critical  care  medicine,  critical  care  surgery,  and  critical  care  anesthesiology  are  artificial;  more  the  result  of  politics  than  medicine.  All  intensivists,  regardless  of  primary  discipline,  must  possess  a  core  set  of  critical  care  skills  that  allow  them  to  manage  the  sickest  of  patients.  Surgical,  medical,  anesthesia,  or  neurological  problems  can  arise  in  any  patient,  particularly  in  the  critically  ill.  Furthermore,  most  hospitals  today  contain  intensive  care  units  (ICUs)  that  are  mixed  by  intention  or  by  overflow  and  multidisciplinary  trained  intensivists  are  best  equipped  to  both  recognize  and  manage  the  wide  range  of  acute  care  problems.
