The Emergency + Critical Care Manual was born from detailed
procedural notes written by emergency and critical care specialist Dr.
Karol Mathews, Professor Emeritus at the Ontario Veterinary College,
University of Guelph, while establishing one of the first full-service
veterinary intensive care units in Canada.

When LifeLearn approached Dr. Mathews in the early 1990s and proposed
working together to shape her notes into a book, Dr. Mathews’ was
thrilled that LifeLearn saw her work as valuable to the entire
veterinary community. She also saw that LifeLearn was the right fit as
an active and trusted publisher of veterinary educational resources and pet owner education material. So, LifeLearn and Dr. Mathews got to work, and in 1996, LifeLearn published the first edition of the ECCM.

Since its first printing, the ECCM has been used in emergency hospitals
and ICUs around the world. In practices, the ECCM is often found open on
counters and cage-side, and to provide veterinarians with easy access
to the latest and best veterinary medical information, the ECCM was
recently added to Sofie, the most advanced veterinary medical search tool on the market.

The new 3^rd Edition of the ECCM, which Dr. Mathews thoroughly
reviewed and updated, includes 60 contributing authors to reflect
current best veterinary practices. That means the new 3^rd Edition has roughly 50% more content than the previous edition.

All-new chapters in the 3^rd Edition include:

• Preventing and Treating Infection from the Point of Admission


• Damage Control Techniques for Abdominal Injury


• Mechanical Ventilation

And much more.

“This book is an amazing friend for critical situations.”

—MVDr. Leona Rauserova, PhD

The secret to the ECCM’s easy and quick use as a diagnostic and
treatment resource is its practical and logical approach, which enables
timely clinical decisions and action with a focus on procedure and
protocol. Detailed decision trees, easy-to-reference tables, algorithms,
illustrations, and sample worksheets support essential emergency and
critical care decision-making. And practitioners will appreciate the
consistently formatted topics with extensive chapter cross-referencing.

To ensure the ECCM lasts over time under a variety or working conditions, the 3^rd
Edition has a new binding and sturdy front and back cover. So, it’s
perfect for both light and heavy use as an essential tool for every
practice.

“We use [the ECCM] at night for emergencies because it is
an approachable book with manageable charts and logically organized
information. It’s easily used for quick, straightforward references.”

—Dr. Lais Malavasi, DVM, PhD, Assistant Clinical Professor Anesthesia & Analgesia WSU
