Book SynopsisA patient''s personal view of long term care.Seen through the eyes of a patient totally paralyzed with Guillain-Barré syndrome, this moving book takes you through the psychological and physical pain of an eleven month hospital stay. BED NUMBER TEN reads like a compelling novel, but is entirely factual.You will meet:The ICU staff who learned to communicate with the paralyzed woman - and those who did not bother.The physicians whose visits left her baffled about her own case.The staff and physicians who spoke to her and others who did not recognize her presence.The nurse who tucked Sue tightly under the covers, unaware that she was soaking with perspiration.The nurse who took the time to feed her drop by drop, as she slowly learned how to swallow again.The physical therapist who could read her eyes and spurred her on to move again as if the battle were his own.In these pages, which reveal the caring, the heroism, andTrade Review"...offers invaluable messages for anyone dealing with dependency, suffering, loneliness, helplessness, or acute or chronic debilitating diseases - in short, for anyone taking care of others. No one reading this book will ever again regard the helpless or incommunicative patient the same way."- New England Journal of Medicine"It is a powerful book, which - thankfully -has a happy ending. But the sadness outweighs the gladness, especially where Baier’s medical care is concerned. Perhaps BED NUMBER TEN should be required reading at medical schools." -Macon Telegraph and News "Baier gives us a palpable sense of the course of the disease, the pain endured, the depression and loneliness...sincere and honest..." -The Boston Herald "...if I or someone I care about were felled by Guillain-Barre Syndrome, BED NUMBER TEN is the handbook I’d recommend for battling through the physical anguish, the emotional terror and the mental strain of coming back from G.B.S...." -Des Moines Register "I cannot begin to explain the importance of this book for health care professionals as well as the general public. As a nurse educator, this book has had profound impact on me as I attempt to teach students the art of caring for acute and chronically ill persons." -RN, MS (Nursing College) "The story of her illness is interesting reading and a reminder of how fragile good health is and how cherished it should be." -Sue Allison, United Press International "Baier’s chronicle of courage offers hope to victims of the catastrophic disease." -Publishers Weekly

Book SynopsisFrom the earliest days of medicine to the present, case reports have been a critical aspect of clinical education and knowledge development. In this comprehensive volume, Dr. William C. Roberts, a renowned expert in the field, explores the rich history and ongoing importance of case reports in cardiology.Through engaging and insightful analysis, the book demonstrates how case reports have provided physicians with crucial insights into rare diseases, complex conditions, and ground-breaking treatments. Drawing on a vast range of sources, from ancient manuscripts to cutting-edge journals, it offers a unique perspective on the role of case reports in medical education and practice of hyperlipidemia and coronary heart diseases and associated cardiovascular morbidities. It underscores how case reports can be used to enhance diagnostic accuracy, identify new treatment options, and promote innovation in the field.

Book SynopsisThis innovative resource serves as a fusion of an MCQ guide and a textbook, providing essential content for postgraduate trainees gearing up for the FFICM Final exam, a vital part of the CCT in Intensive Care Medicine.Crafted to meet the unique requirements of the MCQ while also addressing the necessity for concise, well-structured responses in the OSCE, this book prioritises quick topic transitions, delivering focused, streamlined learning across a range of ICM topics. Its uniqueness lies in its unorthodox structure; rather than having a conventional table of contents, it gives you the freedom to start your learning adventure from any page.Each of the 1,400 facts is structured as a question, reflecting the format of both exams. Answers are conveniently positioned just below, eliminating the need for constant page-flipping. The material is carefully curated to cover the breadth of the ICM curriculum, weaving in valuable insights from the author''s and colleagues'' exam

Book SynopsisCritically ill paediatric transfers have expanded rapidly over the past ten years and, as such, the need for transfer teams to recognise, understand and treat the various illnesses that they encounter is greater than ever. This highly illustrated book covers a multitude of clinical presentations in a case-based format to allow an authentic feel to the transfer process. Written by clinicians with experience in thousands of transfers, it brings together many years of experience from a world-renowned hospital. Following the case from initial presentation, to resuscitation and referral and finally with the transfer itself; the book explores the clinical stabilisation, human factors decisions and logistical challenges that are encountered every day by these teams. Following the entire journey, this is an ideal resource for all professionals who may be involved in critical care transfer and retrieval medicine, particularly those working in paediatrics, emergency medicine, anaesthesiology, inTrade Review'Caring for critically unwell and injured patients in a pre-hospital environment is extremely difficult. Healthcare professionals undertaking this work must embrace dynamic risk, meticulous attention to detail and be able to perform in the most challenging of circumstances. When applied to a paediatric population this cognitive burden increases, requiring a huge amount of additional knowledge, skills and behaviours to overcome. This book expertly describes the challenges and solutions in an array of complex paediatric cases. It is essential reading for any healthcare professional who provides paediatric critical care and moves children from A to B.'

Book SynopsisThis book on post-injury multiple organ failure (MOF) offers a comprehensive overview and clinically focused practical guide to treating the condition. MOF is arguably the most difficult complication to manage in polytrauma patients and is responsible for the majority of trauma deaths among patients who survived the first 24 hours after injury. Beyond mortality, it has a major impact on healthcare resource utilization and a persistent negative effect on patients’ long-term reported outcomes. This book is edited by surgeons who are passionate about the topic, and about optimizing the outcomes for polytrauma patients. Grasping the fascinating pathophysiology of MOF is essential for providing patients with quality early care. Each chapter highlights key learning objectives, historical perspectives, diagnostic and therapeutic pearls, and includes a must-know summary, additional reading suggestions and future research directions. Flowcharts, decision-making guides, summary tables, graphics and clinical photographs help to maximize the learning experience and to ensure readers retain what they’ve learned. The book fills a unique niche area for many specialties dedicated to critical care of polytrauma patients and to their management before and beyond intensive care. Table of Contents1 Historic perspective and relevant evolutionary landmarks in trauma care.- 2 The definition of postinjury Multiple Organ Failure.- 3 The pathomechanism of postinjury MOF.- 4 Genomic considerations related to postinjury MOF.- 5 The epidemiology of postinjury MOF.- 6 The relevance of traumatic shock and its treatment on the epidemiology of MOF.- 7 The relevance of the timing of surgical interventions.- 8 The population at risk, predictors of MOF.- 9 Postinjury MOF with and without infection.- 10 The principles of treatment, modern therapeutic targets.- 11 Central nervous system.- 12 Respiratory failure.- 13 Cardiac failure.- 14 Liver failure.- 15 Gastrointestinal failure, clinical presentations and treatment.- 16 Kidney failure.- 17 Bone marrow failure.- 18 MOF management in low resource settings.- 19 MOF in pregnancy and its relevance to Eclampsia.- 20 MOF in paediatric patients.- 21 Summary of randomised controlled trials with significant effect on MOF outcomes.- 22 Iatrogenic causes leading to MOF.- 23 Short term outcomes, what has changed during the last 40 years?.- 24 Long term outcomes and functional outcomes.- 25 Future directions.
