Sinossi

Modern Hospital Medicine: Principles of Inpatient Care, Acute Illness Management, and Clinical Decision Making is an intermediate-to-advanced textbook for senior medical students, postgraduate trainees, hospital physicians, educators, and allied professionals who need a coherent account of modern inpatient practice.
The book addresses a persistent gap in medical education: clinicians often learn diseases in isolation, yet hospital care demands simultaneous judgment about acuity, diagnostic uncertainty, multimorbidity, medication risk, physiological deterioration, function, communication, discharge, ethics, and system constraints. This text brings those demands into one disciplined framework without reducing hospital medicine to protocols or checklists.
Its approach is clinically grounded and integrative. Chapters connect pathophysiology with bedside reasoning, acute management, patient priorities, interprofessional work, and transitions of care. Case-based openings establish the human and clinical stakes. Tables, decision pathways, callout boxes, review structures, and practical appendices support both close study and rapid reference. The treatment of sepsis, respiratory and cardiovascular illness, kidney injury, diabetes, anticoagulation, frailty, delirium, polypharmacy, patient safety, clinical informatics, and end-of-life care remains rooted in the realities of the ward.
Readers gain more than factual recall. They learn how to frame complex inpatient problems, recognize deterioration, balance competing risks, communicate under pressure, use evidence without surrendering judgment, and design plans that remain safe across admission, daily review, handoff, and discharge.
For educators, the book supports curriculum design, ward-based teaching, case discussion, and assessment. For professionals, it serves as a practical reference for difficult decisions that do not fit neatly within one specialty.
Adopt Modern Hospital Medicine for courses, clinical training programs, departmental libraries, and personal practice, and give learners a text that reflects the full intellectual and human demands of inpatient care.
