Book SynopsisThis comprehensive textbook, covering all aspects of the perioperative management of patients undergoing organ transplantation, serves as the standard reference for clinicians who care for transplant patients on a day-to-day basis as well as those who encounter organ transplantation only occasionally in their clinical practice. Anesthesia and Perioperative Care for Organ Transplantation covers transplantation of the heart, lung, liver, pancreas, and kidney, as well as multivisceral and composite tissue graft transplantations. For each kind of transplantation, the full spectrum of perioperative considerations is addressed: preoperative preparation, intraoperative anesthesia management, surgical techniques, and postoperative care. Each chapter contains evidence-based recommendations, relevant society guidelines, management algorithms, and institutional protocols as tables, flow diagrams, and figures. Photographs demonstrating surgical techniques, anesthesia procedures, and perfTrade Review“This textbook easily meets the criteria to be an authoritative, clinically relevant, comprehensive, and practical reference for transplant clinicians, including anesthesiologists, intensivists, nurses, physician assistants, and trainees. The content is well researched, organized, well written, and is largely evidence based. This resource presents a formidable alternative to similar available reference works in adult solid organ transplantation and may be considered a valuable addition to a departmental or personal educational collection.” (Roman Schumann, Anestesia & Analgesia, Vol. 125 (6), December, 2017)“This textbook is truly a multidisciplinary collaboration of perioperative transplant management, offering a balance between relevant science underpinning clinical care and expert clinical insight. … I would recommend this book to all clinicians caring for patients undergoing organ transplantation. Dr. Starzl concluded that ‘this book would serve as an authentic reference’ for both the novice and experienced clinician. I think he was right.” (Sonja Payne, Canadian Journal of Anesthesia, March, 2017)“This is a comprehensive, evidence-based overview of the historical, perioperative, and intraoperative considerations in transplant anesthesia. … targeted at those who care for patients undergoing transplant, with a focus on anesthesia concerns. It has an appropriate focus and amount of detail for residents, fellows, midlevel/CRNA providers, and attending practitioners. … an excellent addition to the transplant literature, providing anesthesia and critical care perspectives for an area in which much of the literature is focused strictly on surgical or medical topics.” (Kelly M.

Book Synopsis This atlas offers a step-by-step approach to Thoracoscopic surgery for Congenital Pulmonary Malformation (CPAM) in each major lung resection. This technique is still a matter of debate and is used approxmately by 50% of the surgeons in Europe. The apprehension of the thoracoscopic approach is complicated firstly by the small size of the child to whom it is proposed and secondly by the risks of perioperative or postoperative complications. Furthermore, the pulmonary malformations object of this investigation are rare, thus making this technique difficult to learn and reproduce The volume - the result of a surgical experience acquired since 2007 in this field - offers a step-by-step approach to the procedure in each major lung resection and is illustrated by numerous intraoperative photos, short video clips and even complete resection videos; tips and tricks are presented to facilitate surgery, to make it reproducible and accessible by all surgeons, whether they are young surgeons in training or experienced surgeons. This atlas aims to complement and not to replace the direct observation in the operating room, or the procedure learning by the reader. It offers essential guide for practitioners, trainees and thoracoscopic surgeons interested in CPAM.Table of Contents1 Introduction.- 2 The timing of the surgery.- 3 Technical considerations - "tips and tricks" and postoperative analgesia.- 4 patient position.- 5 the instrumentation.- 6 position of the trocars.- 7 vascular control-bleeding management.- 8 bronchial control - management of air leaks.- 9 Post-operative management-management of complications.- 10 Follow-up.- 11 Upper right lobectomy.- 12 Average lobectomy.- 13 Lower right lobectomy.- 14 Upper left lobectomy.- 15 Lower left lobectomy.- 16 segment definition.- 17 antegrade dissection and identification of vascular and bronchial structures.- 18 extra lobar sequestrectomy.- 19 intralobar sequestrectomy.

Book SynopsisDuring the last 20 years two groups of investigators have concerned themselves with the problem of acid-base regulation at various body temperatures. Each group, in professional isolation, pursued a separate path. Surgeons and anesthe­ tists developed techniques and tools for hypothermic cardio-pulmonary by-pass operations and based their rationale for acid-base management on in vitro models of blood behavior. Physiologists and biochemists, on the other hand, endeavored to understand acid-base regulation in living organisms naturally subjected to changes in body temperature. Only in the last decade has there been an increasing awareness that each group could benefit from the other's experiences. With this goal in mind members of both groups were invited to present their views and observations in the hope of arriving at a better understanding of acid-base management during hypothermia and gaining a greater insight into the factors which control acid-base regulation during normothermia. This led to the presen­ tation of the present volume with the aim of providing the clinician with a survey of present theories and the resulting strategies for management of the hypother­ mic patient.

Book SynopsisUntil 1846, surgery was performed without anaesthesia. Much has been written about surgery in the nineteenth century, but little has been said about the development of the relationship between surgeon and anaesthetist. In The Chloroformist, Christine Ball tells the captivating story of Joseph Clover - an innovative, hard-working and deeply humane pioneer of modern patient care.

Book SynopsisIn retrospect, the dosage of IV sedatives used in the early days of endoscopy both in the USA and Great Britain was frequently too high. Today we are much more careful in the way we sedate patients being acutely aware of the fact that if the patient becomes unresponsive and verbal contact is lost then, by definition, a general anaesthetic has just been administered with all the clinical and legal implications that this holds. This expertly written book examines all aspects of conscious sedation and will be an essential reference for nurses and other health professionals involved in the clinical care of patients undergoing diagnostic or therapeutic procedures that require conscious sedation. Each chapter covers a particular area of the practice of conscious sedation and the authors come from a wide spectrum of clinical specialities.Table of Contents1. History of Sedation. 2. Physiology and Pharmacology. 3. Patient assessment. 4. Clinical Techniques. 5. Monitoring of The Sedated Patient. 6. Assessment of Sedation Levels. 7. Special Cases and Complications. 8.

Book SynopsisThis book is a comprehensive, focused resource on intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring (IOM). This rapidly evolving field has created a demand for an up-to-date book such as this that builds on foundational concepts necessary to the practice of IOM in the context of anatomy and physiology. Each chapter is designed to not only inform the reader, but to also test the reader on the information presented - therefore promoting practical, problem-based learning. Surpassing the quality of its successful predecessor, Principles of Neurophysiological Assessment, Mapping, and Monitoring, Second Edition, is positioned to suit the needs of residents and fellows studying for the IOM certificate programs, physicians and anesthesiologists practicing IOM, and neurotechnologists both experienced and in training. Trade Review“This textbook can serve as a resource for both those seeking an introduction to the field and experienced practitioners. … the target audience of this book is broad and likely includes personnel who work infrequently in the operating room … . Overall, it is an excellent reference for an increasingly wide audience, from the novice to the expert.” (Michale Ok and John McAuliffe, Canadian Journal of Anesthesia, February 26, 2020)Table of ContentsChapter 1.

Book SynopsisWith 32 engaging and dramatic cases and 174 colorful, insightful and innovative graphics, this book takes a fresh, creative and highly visual approach to the fundamentals of obstetric anesthesia as well as emerging knowledge and three emerging technologies: 1) pre-procedural ultrasound to facilitate neuraxial block placement, 2) point-of-care transthoracic echocardiography to guide maternal resuscitation, and 3) electrical cardiometry to trend maternal cardiac output and avoid fetal hypoxia. Besides discussing the threats to fetal oxygenation presented by labor and the avoidance of maternal and fetal complications while providing excellent anesthesia, the book also explores the psychological and behavioral dimensions of obstetric anesthesia practice and promotes the obstetric anesthesiologist as a valued member of the obstetric care team who makes unique, insightful and empathic contributions to the overall excellent care of pregnant patients. Obstetric Anesthesia: A Case-Based and Visual Approach is an indispensable resource for medical students, residents, fellows, anesthesiologists, nurse anesthetists, nurse midwives, and obstetricians.Trade Review“I found this book to be imaginative and covers almost all problems faced in obstetric anesthesia practice.

Book SynopsisThis clinical handbook is a complete guide to the use of nitrous oxide when performing dental procedures in children. Nitrous oxide offers the easiest and safest form of pharmacological behavior management in this age group and can help greatly in reducing fear and anxiety toward dentists and dental treatment. Importantly, its use in children differs from that in adults, owing in part to the need for appropriate behavior management skills. In considering a range of clinical scenarios in which nitrous oxide is of value, this book will support clinicians in their daily practice. All aspects are covered, including rationale, basic science, mechanism of action, equipment, scavenging systems, technique, monitoring, safety, toxicity, documentation, and team building.

Book SynopsisThe goal of the first edition of Interventional Critical Care: A Manual for Advanced Care Practitioners was to fill a knowledge gap of the advanced practice provider (APP) specifically regarding the skills and understanding of critical care procedures in response to the rapidly expanding participation of APPs in critical care. Written by experts in the field, this successor edition adds to the content of the first by expanding upon ultrasonography areas to include more direct hemodynamic evaluations as well as the newer “e”FAST. It also explores the specialty of Urology to include more complex interventions. As billing and coding are necessary, the authors added appropriate CPT codes for each of the appropriate chapters. Most chapters have been completely re-written and updated from the first edition and have different authors – thereby a different perspective and experience level. Interventional Critical Care 2nd Edition serves as a valuable reference for physicians and advanced practice providers in daily practice in the ICU, OR and/or ED setting.Table of ContentsThe Multi-Disciplinary ICU Team.- Process Improvement & Patient Safety.- The Administrative Process.- Coding and Billing for Procedures.- Airway Management in the ICU.- Rescue Airway Devices and Techniques.- Cricothyroidotomy.- Percutaneous Dilatational Tracheostomy, Open Surgical Tracheostomy and Management of Tracheostomy Tubes.- Diagnostic and Therapeutic Bronchoscopy.- REBOA (Resuscitative Endovascular Balloon Occlusion of the Aorta) Catheter.- Arterial Line Access and Monitoring.- Central Venous Catheterization with and without ultrasound guidance.- Hemodialysis Catheter Insertion.- Intraosseous Access Techniques in the ICU.- Pulmonary Artery Catheter Insertion.- Tourniquet Application and Topical Hemostatics.- Pericardiocentesis.- Temporary Transvenous and Transcutaneous Pacemakers.- Intra-Aortic Balloon Pump Counterpulsation.- Resuscitative Thoracotomy.- Extra Corporal Membrane Oxygenation and Extracorporal Life Support.- Thoracentesis.- Tube Thoracostomy.- Inferior Vena Cava Filters Insertion in the Critically Ill.- External Ventricular Drain Placement.- Intraparenchymal Fiber-optic Intracranial Pressure Monitoring.- Lumbar Puncture and Drainage.- Enteral Access.- Percutaneous Endoscopic Gastrostomy tube placement.- Paracentesis.- Abdominal Compartment Syndrome.- Abdominal Compartment Syndrome and Decompressive Laparotomy.- Bedside Laparoscopy in the Intensive Care Unit.- Diagnostic Peritoneal Lavage.- Foley Catheterization - Basic to Challenging.- Catherization of Atypical Urinary Reservoirs and Clot Evacuation.- Miscellaneous Urologic Problems.- Fracture Management: Basic Principles, Immobilization, and Splinting.- Fracture Management: Advanced Principles of Procedures for Stabilization.- Compartment Syndrome & Fasciotomies.- Wound Management in the ICU.- Escharotomy.- Extended Focused Abdominal Sonography in Trauma – eFAST.- Bedside Cardiac Ultrasound In The Intensive Care Unit.

Book SynopsisThis comprehensive source on the pathogenic origins of neuropathic pain covers the detailed molecular bases of the currently known neuropathies as classified by their pathogenic origins.Filling a critical need, this book fills the need for a resource on a syndrome that demands improved understanding by clinicians and researchers alike so that treatment options for patients are not categorically limited to a pill or a needle. If the clinician understands the origins of a patients' neuropathic pain, they can work cooperatively toward improving it with tailored therapies that don't create societal diseconomies and that ultimately are effective in helping patients.The book presents in detail the molecular bases of some currently known neuropathies by their pathogenetic origins, allowing clinicians to tailor more specific and more effective treatment regimens for their patients. For basic researchers, this book is a general resource to better direct research on neuropathy-specific molecular mechanisms. The improved understanding of the pathogenesis of neuropathic pain can then be used to develop more specific and more effective manipulations of these pathways.Table of Contents

Book SynopsisThis uniquely written title presents both the fascinating biography of Dr. John Loeser, a visionary pioneer in the field of pain medicine, as well as the compelling account of the birth and evolution of pain medicine in the United States and beyond. In this captivating work, readers are taken down the path of an extraordinary man who not only shaped the discipline of pain medicine but also embraced a multitude of passions, leaving an indelible mark on those lucky enough to know him. Prior to the pivotal role Loeser played in helping pain medicine emerge as a recognized field in the 1980s, he had already established himself as a highly respected neurosurgeon and co-author of a definitive text on neuroembryology. However, when he became immersed in the world of pain medicine, an entirely new frontier beckoned—one that held the promise of reducing human suffering and revolutionizing the way we understand and manage pain. Soon Loeser was deeply engaged in pain research and clinical practice and was advocating for better diagnostics, cutting-edge technologies, and a deeper understanding of pain mechanisms. Loeser not only played a leading role in the evolution of pain medicine in the 1980s but became the chief architect and champion of multidisciplinary pain management. Indeed, this outstanding biography amounts to two absorbing stories in one – the exceptional life of Loeser, complete with engrossing details of his early-life background, along with an absorbing history of the modern pain management movement. A colleague of Loeser for many years, the author skillfully and colorfully details the major, and often intimate, landscape of people, friendships, anecdotes, episodes, and ideas that weave into a rich context for understanding a multi-talented man who was not only a fighter for his beliefs and a major leader among all pain management professionals and organizations, but was also equally at home in his command of the operating room and in carving wooden masks based on northwestern indigenous traditions. An invaluable contribution to the literature, John Loeser: The Man Who Reimagined Pain will be of great interest to physicians and clinicians in every field, as well as to laypersons interested in the incomparable story of a man who accomplished so much and means so much to family, friends, and colleagues around the world.Table of ContentsChapter 1: They came from all over the world.- Chapter 2: Child.- Chapter 3: Decorated war hero.- Chapter 4: Neurosurgeon.- Chapter 5: It all began in Issaquah.- Chapter 6: The two Johns.- Chapter 7: The man who refused to meet the Pope.- Chapter 8: Becoming a Renaissance man.- Chapter 9: Threats to the mission.- Chapter 10: Wives and children.- Chapter 11: Teacher.- Chapter 12: A portrait of passion and tenacity.
