Vasoplegic Endothelial Dysfunction

The textbook "Vasoplegic Endothelial Dysfunction" provides a comprehensive analysis of cardiovascular shock states and highlights the role of Methylene Blue (MB) in the treatment of critically ill patients. The authors, who have extensive experience in this field, argue that the life-saving properties of MB are often underestimated. The book is written in an easily understandable format and is divided into 18 chapters that are pedagogically structured. The initial chapters cover general concepts and the physiology of the endothelium, followed by specific aspects of endothelial dysfunction in various types of shock. A detailed section is dedicated to Methylene Blue, while the final chapters address special situations such as heart surgeries and organ transplants. Additionally, the topics of acid-base balance and the therapeutic application of inhaled nitric oxide are discussed. The book offers valuable insights into therapeutic alternatives for treating vasoplegic endothelial dysfunction and explores innovative approaches to improving treatment outcomes in critically ill patients.
