Springer Verlag Ventilazione meccanica non invasiva: Come, quando e perché
Book SynopsisLa crescita esponenziale dell’interesse per la ventilazione non invasiva (NIV) verificatasi negli ultimi 10-15 anni, non solo dal punto di vista clinico e applicativo, ma anche speculativo, ha pochi eguali nella recente storia della medicina.In Italia e in Europa in generale tale metodica è applicata su larga scala, prevalentemente nei reparti di Pneumologia e nelle Unità di Cure Intermedie Respiratorie, mentre per quanto riguarda la sua applicazione nei reparti di Terapia Intensiva Generale (UTI) i dati emersi da uno studio multicentrico condotto nei paesi francofoni vedono la NIV impiegata in una quantità di casi che rappresenta fino al 50% dei pazienti che richiedono assistenza ventilatoria.Il recente studio EUROVENT ha inoltre dimostrato come la NIV non si limiti alla sua applicazione “acuta”, dal momento che circa 25.000 pazienti sono attualmente ventilati “in cronico” a domicilio. Inoltre, si calcola che milioni di cittadini europei soffrano attualmente di disturbi respiratori durante il sonno, e per molti di essi il trattamento medico di prima scelta è rappresentato dalla NIV. Questo libro si propone lo scopo di richiamare l’attenzione sulle più recenti acquisizioni in questo campo, con la speranza di fornire uno strumento valido e maneggevole per la scelta e l’impostazione della migliore modalità di ventilazione.Table of Contents1 Perché ventilo un paziente non invasivamente.- 2 La fisiologia della ventilazione meccanica.- 3 (Quasi) tutto quello che volete sapere di un ventilatore.- 4 Le interfacce per NIV.- 5 Quando iniziare (o meno) il trattamento ventilatorio.- 6 Modalitá con cui ventilo il paziente in NIV.- 7 Come imposto il ventilatore.- 8 Altre modalitá di ventilazione.- 9 Perché NIV è bello?.- 10 Miti, pregiudizi e problemi reali.- 11 La ventiloterapia non invasiva nel trattamento dell'insufficienza respiratoria acuta: i magnifici cinque.- 12 La ventiloterapia non invasiva nel trattamento dell'insufficienza respiratoria acuta: indicazioni emergenti.- 13 La ventiloterapia non invasiva nel trattamento dell'insufficienza respiratoria acuta: indicazioni controverse.- 14 Otto regole da ricordare per ventilare il paziente non invasivamente.- 15 Trucchi e trappole della ventilazione non invasiva.- 16 Predittori di insuccesso.- 17 Dove ventilare il paziente durante NIV.- 18 Monitoraggio nella ventiloterapia non invasiva.- 19 Come interpretare le curve sullo schermo del ventilatore.- 20 Ventilazione meccanica cronica: esiste un razionale?.- 21 Ventilazione cronica nel BPCO.- 22 Ventilazione nei pazienti con patologia restrittiva.- 23 Basi razionali del trattamento ventilatorio durante il sonno.- 24 Ventilazione notturna: quando CPAP, quando NIV

Springer Verlag Emergency Radiology of the Abdomen: Imaging
Book SynopsisThe term “acute abdomen” refers to a serious, often progressive clinical situation that calls for immediate diagnostic and therapeutic action. Today, diagnosis via imaging has basically replaced the physical examination in the emergency room and the Radiologist has become of primary importance in this setting. However, close co-operation among the various specialists involved is essential for successful patient management, and thus the Radiologist needs to have a full understanding of the imaging modalities and technical skills required, as well as appropriate clinical knowledge of the disorder in order to manage the condition. This book provides a comprehensive review of the multifaceted etiology, pathophysiology and clinical presentation of acute abdominal conditions, focusing on the imaging features that are relevant to a timely management approach. Numerous high-quality images, diagrams and easy-to-read tables are provided.Table of ContentsAcute Abdomen: Clinical Context and Indications to Imaging.- Acute Abdomen: Rational use of US, MDCT and MRI.- Liver and Bile Ducts.- Gallbladder.- Spleen.- Pancreas.- Kidney, Ureter, Adrenal Gland.- Gastrointestinal Tract.- Pelvis.- Vascular Emergencies of the Retroperitoneum.- MRI of the Acute Abdomen.- Acute Abdomen in the pediatric population.- The Role of Interventional Radiology.

Springer Verlag Manuale di terapia intensiva del Massachusetts
Book SynopsisPrima traduzione italiana del famoso manuale del Massachusetts General Hospital (V edizione): un testo compatto, caratterizzato da autorevolezza, accuratezza e solidità dell’informazione. Il successo mondiale di questo manuale – presente, sin dalla prima edizione, nelle tasche dei camici non solo di studenti e specializzandi, ma anche di tantissimi specialisti – conferma la validità dell’impostazione e la qualità dei contenuti. Gli argomenti trattati consentono una visione completa e aggiornata delle tematiche affrontate quotidianamente nelle unità di terapia intensiva: oltre ai temi “classici”, sono presentati gli aspetti più specialistici, compresi il trattamento dei pazienti sottoposti a trapianto e i problemi etici legati all’interruzione delle cure e al fine vita. L’approccio clinico è posto in costante e stretta relazione con la fisiologia del paziente critico, fondamentale per operare scelte corrette in terapia intensiva. Questo testo, definito “guida multidisciplinare alla cura del paziente critico”, non è destinato solo al personale medico e infermieristico delle unità di terapia intensiva, ma anche a tutti coloro che, pur non operandovi stabilmente, vengono coinvolti per consulenze (come chirurghi, internisti, ematologi e farmacisti ospedalieri) o per delicati compiti di assistenza (come fisioterapisti e logopedisti).Table of ContentsParte I Principi generali: 1.Monitoraggio emodinamico e respiratorio.- 2 Ecografia.- 3 Gestione delle vie aeree e ventilazione meccanica.- 4 Gestione emodinamica.- 5 Sedazione e analgesia.- 6 Gestione di fluidi, elettroliti ed equilibrio acido-base.- 7 Terapia intensiva dei pazienti traumatizzati e neurologici.- 8 Nutrizione.- 9 Patologie infettive .- 10 Miglioramento della qualità e profilassi.- 11 Questioni etiche e legali.- 12 Evidence-based medicine e valutazioni statistiche.- 13 Trasporto dei pazienti.- Parte II Aspetti specifici: 14 Patologie coronariche e valvolari.- 15 Aritmie cardiache.- 16 Sindrome da distress respiratorio acuto.- 17 BPCO e asma.- 18 Embolia polmonare e trombosi venosa profonda.- 19 Interruzione della ventilazione meccanica.- 20 Danno renale acuto.- 21 Disfunzioni epatiche.- 22 Coagulopatie e ipercoagulabilità.- 22 Patologie gastrointestinali acute- 23 Disordini endocrini e controllo glicemico .- 24 Patologie infettive.- 25 Terapie non antibiotiche della sepsi.- 26 Ictus, crisi epilettiche ed encefalopatie .- 27 Debolezza acuta.- 28 Sovradosaggi, avvelenamenti e reazioni avverse a farmaci.- 29 Rianimazione nell’adulto e nel bambino.- 30 Medicina trasfusionale.- 31 Trauma neurologico.- 32 Paziente ustionato.- 33 Preparazione alle catastrofi.- 34 Terapia intensiva dopo chirurgia vascolare, chirurgia toracica e trapianti d’organo.- 35 Trattamento intensivo del paziente obeso.- 36 L’intensivista al di fuori della UTI.- 37 Terapia intensiva in ostetricia.

Springer Paediatric Emergencies: A Practical Guide to Acute Paediatrics
Book SynopsisThe aim of this book is to provide a practical guide to help junior doctors to manage the important acute paediatric problems they are likely to encounter. The emphasis has been placed on the diagnostic problems and management when the child first presents. The approach taken is largely pragmatic, in contrast with the more theoretical approach of undergraduate teaching. As many doctors in general paediatrics are also required to perform neonatal resuscitation, a chapter on this topic has been included, but no attempt has been made to cover the specialized field of neonatal intensive care. Several of the chapters have been published in a series of articles in Hospital Update. They have been thoroughly revised and many new chapters added. It would have been impossible for me to have written this book without the help and encouragement of my wife, Dr Ann Goldman. She has read the book at each stage of its gestation and made many constructive suggestions and improvements. I am also grateful to Dr Paul Hutchins who has helped me considerably. Dr Doug Jones has provided helpful advice on the anaesthetic aspects and practical procedures and contributed the section on the insertion of central venous catheters. Many other colleagues have read sections of the book and I should like to thank Drs Ruby Schwartz, Terry Stacey, Andy Whitelaw, Rodney Rivers, John Warner, Sue Rigden, Susan nah Hart, Mike Liberman and Bernard Valman.Table of Contents1.

World Scientific Publishing Co Pte Ltd Emergencies In Neuro-ophthalmology: A Case Based
Book SynopsisThe management of emergent neuro-ophthalmic conditions can be a life-saving encounter for the general ophthalmologist. This book covers life-threatening scenarios that a general ophthalmologist might encounter, and is designed to help the ophthalmologist make emergency triage decisions for initial evaluation and treatment of potentially vision- or life-threatening conditions. This book is case based, and provides the reader with the invaluable expert views of two neuro-ophthalmologists. One, Dr Lee is an ophthalmology-based neuro-ophthalmologist and the other, Dr Brazis is a neurology-based neuro-ophthalmologist. Dr Mughal and Dr Policeni collected and collated the case vignettes during their fellowship with Dr Lee at the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics.This textbook provides a concise, easy to read, and practical guide to the emergent evaluation of neuro-ophthalmic conditions. It is designed to be a quick read and not to be all-inclusive or comprehensive. The reader is directed to longer and more comprehensive neuro-ophthalmic texts for this information. It is also not the aim of the book to provide information on anatomy, pharmacology, physiology, or other basic mechanisms of disease. Instead, this text is meant to be a quick reference and resource for the clinician in the emergency room or in the clinic facing a potentially vision- or life-threatening emergency and to provide immediate guidance for potentially “high stakes” decision making. The case vignettes are based upon real clinical cases but the clinical details of each case have been modified for teaching purposes and represent composite rather than individual histories.Table of ContentsAcute Painful Ptosis, Complete Ophthalmoplegia with a Red Eye; Chronic Painless, Ptosis, Complete Ophthalmoplegia with a Red Eye; Acute Painless Homonymous Hemianopsia; Acute Painful Homonymous Hemianopsia; Acute Bilateral Optic Disc Edema; Subacute Bilateral Optic Disc Edema; Acute Homonymous Hemianopsia in Febrile Patient; Acute Painless Isolated Sixth Nerve Palsy; Acute Progressive Bilateral Ophthalmoplegia with Mental Status Change; Acute Unilateral Optic Neuropathy; Acute Pupil Spared Third Nerve Palsy; Acute Pupil Involved Third Nerve Palsy; Acute Proptosis with Red Eyes; Acute Visual Loss in a Leukemia Patient; Acute Ophthalmo Plegia After Vomiting; Acute Anisocoria; Optic Disc Edema with a Macular Star Figure; Acute Transient Monocular Visual Loss; Jaw Pain and Headache in an Elderly Woman; Acute Bitemporal Hemianopsia; Acute Anisocoria with Neck Pain; Acute Painful Ophthalmoplegia.
