How it begins

Una aproximación integrada al paciente gastrointestinal grave : desde la hemorragia digestiva y el abdomen agudo hasta la pancreatitis, la descompensación cirrótica y el fallo hepático fulminante. El énfasis está en la fisiopatología que dicta la urgencia , los algoritmos de estratificación de riesgo y las decisiones terapéuticas tiempo-dependientes que determinan el pronóstico.
