Book SynopsisThe fifth edition of this popular textbook continues to provide a solid foundation of pharmacological knowledge for all those working in anaesthesia and intensive care. The content has been thoroughly revised to include expanded chapters with clearer figures, ensuring readers are kept abreast of the ever-changing landscape of clinical pharmacology. Conveniently divided into four sections covering the basic principles of pharmacology, core drugs in anaesthetic practice, cardiovascular drugs, and other important drugs and complemented by new diagrams, tables and chemical formulae to facilitate learning. All four chapters on core drugs in anaesthetic practice have been updated along with others exploring applied pharmacokinetic models, antimicrobials, and drugs used in diabetes. An ideal aid to study and practice for junior and trainee anaesthetists and intensive care specialists preparing for exams. Also an invaluable resource for theatre practitioners, ICU nurses and physicians working in areas that demand a solid knowledge of pharmacology.Trade Review'This outstanding book differentiates itself from others through its effective use of figures and diagrams that enhance learning. It is comprehensive and provides sufficient detail for the use of these medications. The information is not so overwhelming as to render it forgotten after reading. The inclusion of new anticoagulants and their reversal and the update on antibiotics make this new edition necessary.' Robert R. Gaiser, Doody's Notes'… an invaluable resource for anyone, both doctor or nurse/ODP working in anaesthesia and intensive care. Its well-written explanations on the topics offer easy to understand insight which will only benefit the reader and lead to a greater depth of knowledge.' Daniel Morgan, The Journal of Perioperative Practice'A pleasant surprise for the reader will be how easily these subsections flow as the authors keep the more detailed and in-depth information accessible and interesting by associating the concepts to relevant drugs … This book is useful for trainees preparing for examinations and for experienced practitioners as a shelf reference; it is well organised so that specific topics or drugs can be individually reviewed.'

Cambridge University Press The Management of ProcedureInduced Anxiety in
Book SynopsisProcedure induced anxiety affects the majority of children undergoing medical intervention and has been directly linked to behaviour disturbances, psychological trauma, phobias and symptoms of PTSD. Despite this, there is currently no formal training relating to the management of procedure induced anxiety for medical personnel caring for children. A distillation of more than eighty years of research, this textbook examines the nature, prevalence and consequences of anxiety in children, alongside evidence-based strategies for its effective management. Designed as a training manual, it includes a comprehensive account of positive and negative aspects of behaviour that contribute to the successful management of anxious children. Chapters cover topics such as non-verbal and verbal communication, enhanced communication management strategies, support of children with autistic spectrum disorder, ADHD, learning difficulties, the use of premedication and the role that families play. Essential rTrade Review'Educational and enlightening, this book is like turning a light on with regards to how children feel and behave when they get anxious and stressed. All healthcare professionals will find it incredibly useful for understanding how the children actually feel and their response to fear caused by medical intervention and how this can develop into a major phobia. This book teaches us about behaviour and shows us how we can modify what we do and how we do it to positively influence the children we care for. The techniques and strategies described made me reconsider and change how I behave around both children in a healthcare setting and my own children. This is rare in a 'textbook' and I would urge anyone working with children throughout healthcare to read and treasure it.' Andrew Klein, Consultant, Royal Papworth Hospital, Cambridge; Editor-in-Chief, Anaesthesia; Macintosh Professor, Royal College of Anaesthetists, London'This is one of the most interesting factual books I have read for a very long time. Richard Martin shows that the recognition by the operative team makes an enormous difference to the child's experience before, during, immediately after surgery and also in the weeks following surgery. This book is summed up beautifully by a subheading that is labelled 'we all communicate'. It demonstrates that communication is the key to both understanding and improving a child's procedure induced anxiety. This book should be part of the core curriculum for doctors or other providers in anesthesia, surgery and nursing. In years to come it will be considered a game-changer with respect to how healthcare providers view and understand procedure induced anxiety in children' Ken K. Nischal, M.D, FAAP, FRCOphth; Division Chief, Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus; Medical Director, Digital Medicine, UPMC Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh; Professor, University of Pittsburgh, School of Medicine'This book offers invaluable guidance to all healthcare workers involved in the care of children who might be undergoing anxiety inducing procedures. The author draws on his extensive experience to provide readers with strategies to help reduce anxiety in children and young people, and also help them to develop coping strategies to manage their anxiety. This knowledge should form part of the core skills that everyone should have who is involved in the care of children.' The Association of Paediatric Anaesthetists of Great Britain and Ireland'This book is unique because it presents expert clinical information, yet it does not limit the readers background to physicians or advanced practitioners, making it applicable to a broader audience.' Luis Salcedo, Doody's Notes'… The book is well organized, with sections numbered for easy reference. The information throughout is detailed and technical. While these aspects are helpful, they contribute to the book reading like an encyclopedia. Dr Martin describes interactions in a mechanistic way, and there are no cases described to pull the reader into the importance of the topic at a more personal level, … this book serves as a good reference volume.'

Springer London Ltd The Tourniquet Manual Principles and Practice
Book SynopsisWhy write a book on the tourniquet? The tourniquet is used routinely in op- ating theatres throughout the world, but as far as I know there is no single book that surveys the considerable literature that has accumulated.Trade ReviewFrom the reviews of the first edition: "The use of tourniquet in orthopaedic surgery is a universal practice that is accepted with little question. Leslie Klenerman has had a life-long interest in the tourniquet and has conducted a considerable amount of research on its use and misuse. … He has produced a succinct summary of the physiology and application of the tourniquet … . a very readable account that must be read by all who may require use of this instrument." (Frank Horan, Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery, Vol. 86-B, 2004) "The tourniquet is used daily in orthopaedic practice, and a lot of questions do not have a clear answer … . This little book covers the history, science and practical use of the tourniquet. … Complications, which often have medicolegal implication, are well described. This excellent book finds a place in all orthopaedic departments." (M. De Smedt, Acta Orthopaedica Belgica, Vol. 70 (6), 2004) "This is the first manual entirely devoted to the effects and potential complications of tourniquet use in surgery and anesthesia. It summarizes the scientific work published on the subject … . This original and very clearly presented little manual of 100 pages is of major interest for all tourniquet users, orthopaedic surgeons, anesthetists, and operating-theatre staff. It may also help experts, lawyers and attorneys, since medicolegal procedures can follow the onset of complications related to the use of tourniquets."

Springer Anesthesiology 1986: Annual Utah Postgraduate Course in Anesthesiology 1986
Book SynopsisTheodore H. Stanley, M.D. W. Clayton Petty, M.D. Anesthesiology 1986 contains the Refresher Course manuscripts of the presentations of the 31st Annual Postgraduate Course in Anesthesiology which took place at the Westin Hotel Utah Convention Center in Salt Lake City, Utah, February 14-18, 1986. The chapters reflect recent and future developments in anesthetic techniques, monitoring instruments and devices, and anesthetic drugs. The purposes of the textbook are to 1) act as a reference for the anesthesiologists attending the meeting, and 2) serve as a vehi cl e to bri ng many of the 1 atest concepts in anesthesiology to others within a short time of the formal presentation. Each chapter is a brief but sharply focused glimpse of the interests in anesthesi a expressed at the conference. Thi s book and its chapters should not be considered complete treatises on the subjects addressed but rather attempts to summarlze the most salient points. This textbook is the fourth in a continuing series documenting the proceedings of the Postgraduate Course in Salt Lake City. We hope that this and the past and future volumes reflect the rapid and continuing evolution of anesthesiology in the late twentieth century.

Book SynopsisThis book covers point of care ultrasound (POCUS) in a practical, problem oriented and illustrated manner. It begins with introduction to the basic principles of medical ultrasound imaging and ultrasound guided interventions and outlines point of care ultrasound in a lucid manner for rapid learning for medical students as well as practitioners. It contains chapters on ultrasound of the airways, thoracic ultrasound including lungs and transthoracic screening echocardiogram, vascular assessment, ultrasound of the abdomen for focussed trauma assessment, gastric volume assessment and ultrasound guided interventions such as vascular cannulations, pleurocentesis, etc. along with some of the latest point of care ultrasound techniques such as ocular assessment and assessment of the foetus and placenta in the operation theatre. This book will help the intensivist, emergency physician and anaesthesiologist to learn the basics of POCUS, which ostensibly, is the future of medical practice. It also includes objective structured clinical examination (OSCE) questions after every chapter as well as multiple choice questions (MCQs) that will benefit the students greatly. The book also includes videos from some of the celebrated practitioners of POCUS providing a unique learning experience. This book is suited for students, trainees and practitioners alike. The modules of POCUS described here are part of the curriculum of anaesthesiology in the UK, USA, Singapore, Australia/ New Zealand and most of the countries. The book also covers the curriculum of POCUS in critical care and emergency medicine courses.Trade Review“What I liked most were the clear descriptions and key principles illustrated by real case studies with a range of answers and treatments. The self-assessment quiz at the end of each chapter is another good feature, allowing the reader to consolidate their learning. … As a clinical teacher myself, I highly recommend this book to supplement clinical learning.” (Catherine Parrin, RAD Magazine, April, 2023)Table of ContentsChapter 1 Basics of USG and POCUS.- Chapter 2 Vascular cannulations: internal jugular vein, subclavian vein, femoral vein, basilic vein, radial artery, femoral artery.- Chapter 3 Ultrasound of the airway: oropharynx, larynx, trachea.- Chapter 4 Lungs ultrasound- imaging, pleural effusion, pneumothorax, consolidation, interventions (pleural aspiration- USG guided, pleurodesis.- Chapter 5 Screening TT echocardiogram, pericardiocentesis.- Chapter 6 Assessment of IVC, femoral vein and vascular incompetencies and thromboses.- Chapter 7 Focused assessment with sonography for trauma (FAST) scan.- Chapter 8 Paediatrics POCUS.- Chapter 9 Miscellaneous: including gastric volume assessment, urinary bladder volume assessment, optic nerve sheath diameter measurement etc.- Chapter 10 Future of ultrasound: 3d-4d RECONSTRUCTION – real-time guidance, AI- direct web assistance, connectivity to group consult for remote expertise.

John Wiley & Sons Inc Conscious Sedation: A Handbook for Nurse
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. Professional and Legal Aspects.

Book SynopsisIntegrative Pain Management provides an overview of pain physiology, current conventional care options, an understanding of integrative medicine as it applies to pain management, the role of pain practitioners when working collaboratively, and the utilization of an expansive and patient-centered treatment model. This comprehensive guide written by experts in the field provides case examples of pain conditions, reviews common integrative treatments including physical therapy, behavioral strategies, and advanced procedures to maximize function and reduce pain, and extensive further reading resources. Part of the Weil Integrative Medicine Library, this volume offers clinicians treating pain innovative and patient-centered tools for approaching their most difficult cases to improve their approach and outcomes. The book provides access to additional online content that supplements some of the integrative interventions discussed including videos of tai chi in pain management, a demonstration of motivational interviewing as practitioner empowerment, and figures including the STarT Back Screening Tool (SBST) for spine care. Integrative medicine is defined as healing-oriented medicine that takes account of the whole person (body, mind, and spirit) as well as all aspects of lifestyle; it emphasizes the therapeutic relationship and makes use of appropriate therapies, both conventional and alternative. Series editor Andrew Weil, MD, is Professor and Director of the Arizona Center for Integrative Medicine at the University of Arizona. Dr. Weil''s program was the first such academic program in the U.S., and its stated goal is to combine the best ideas and practices of conventional and alternative medicine into cost effective treatments without embracing alternative practices uncritically.Trade ReviewFeatured on Doody's Core Titles List for 2018This comprehensive book is a milestone not only in [Dr. Sukiennik's] personal journey but also for the field [of integrative pain medicine] at large.
