This text brings together contributions from acknowledged experts in the field to ensure effective management of this group of patients. Management of the following condition is featured: heart failure; diabetic and endocrine emergencies; acute urinary tract infections; delirium; stroke and other neurological disorders; and the elderly patient in the ICU.
