The book is geared towards critical care fellows, but may also be useful for residents in the fields of neurology, neurosurgery, emergency medicine, and internal medicine.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eExam 1\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNeurocritcal care\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCerebrovascular disease\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNeurotrauma\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEpilepsy\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNeuro-oncology\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEncephalopathies\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNeurosurgical care\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eExam 2\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNeurocritcal care\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCerebrovascular disease\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNeurotrauma\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEpilepsy\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNeuro-oncology\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEncephalopathies\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNeurosurgical care\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eExam 3\u003c\/p\u003eNeurocritcal care\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCerebrovascular disease\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNeurotrauma\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEpilepsy\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNeuro-oncology\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEncephalopathies\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNeurosurgical care\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eExam 4\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNeurocritcal care\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCerebrovascular disease\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNeurotrauma\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEpilepsy\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNeuro-oncology\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEncephalopathies\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNeurosurgical care\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eExam 5\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNeurocritcal care\u003c\/p\u003eCerebrovascular disease\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNeurotrauma\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEpilepsy\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNeuro-oncology\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEncephalopathies\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNeurosurgical care\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eExam 6\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eExam 7\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springer International Publishing AG","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48743076987223,"sku":"9783031248290","price":999.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}]},{"product_id":"ethics-in-intensive-care-medicine-9783031293894","title":"Ethics in Intensive Care Medicine","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this book, part of the European Society of Intensive Care Medicine (ESICM) textbook series, experts in the field of clinical ethics describe basic principles of clinical ethics and ethical reasoning, the fundamental pillars of intensive care medicine as well as the decision-making processes necessary to arrive at appropriate decisions for each individual patient. Specifically, the complex decision-making process, with regard to limiting life-sustaining therapies and integrating palliative care into intensive care, are expounded. Furthermore, the still controversial topics of ethical climate, proportionate care, and prioritization are elaborated upon. The so-called “soft skills” of inter-professional communication and co-operation are given the attention they deserve in order to overcome the gap between technological progress and interpersonal standstill.

This requires a firm foundation of knowledge and an ability to apply this to the clinical situation. This book contains 270 multiple choice questions allowing self-assessment of the breadth of knowledge required of the modern intensivist. The book is divided into three papers each consisting of 60 multiple true false (MTF) and 30 single best answer (SBA) questions covering areas including resuscitation, diagnosis, disease management, organ support, and ethical and legal aspects of practice. The MTF questions test factual knowledge and understanding of the evidence base underpinning intensive care medicine, while the SBA questions test the ability of the candidate to prioritise, compete options and make the best decision for the patient. Each question is peer reviewed and accompanied by concise and detailed explanatory notes with references to guide further reading. All the authors are practising intensive care physicians with first-hand experience of professional examinations in the specialty. This book will appeal to intensive care physicians approaching professional examinations worldwide, including the European Diploma, American Board and Faculty of Intensive Care Medicine examinations. In addition, it will appeal to intensive care nurses and allied healthcare professionals wishing to update their knowledge as part of continuing professional development, and to physicians sitting professional examinations in related specialties requiring knowledge of intensive care medicine such as general medicine, general surgery and anaesthesia.

In the last decades, we have discovered its positive effects on gas exchange and symptoms such as dyspnea control, widely contrasted against endotracheal intubation. However, although this wide range of beneficial effects have been described, pathophysiology, diagnosis, prevention and treatment of non-invasive mechanical complications could not be forgotten for a correct application as they clearly affect patient outcome and mortality. Nowadays, there is a scarce number of publications analysing non-invasive mechanical ventilation complications and this book is the first dedicated to its analysis. This book brings together a broad multidisciplinary vision of common and unusual complications, thus it serves as the original and essential scientific published reference on non-invasive mechanical ventilation complications. The present book has been structured to offer through its sections and chapters an exhaustive and in-depth analysis of non-invasive mechanical ventilation complications, mechanisms, direct or indirect factors determinants, key recommendations for the early diagnosis and treatment for most frequent applications from multidisciplinary perspective. Finally, we analyse non-invasive mechanical ventilation complications and how they impact in short- and long-term complications and mortality. The book concludes analysing evidence in diagnosis, prevention and treatment. We believe that the readers of this book will find in it an essential reference for a correct application of non-invasive mechanical ventilation, and thus be able to improve results and prognosis.

According to World Health Organization, 15 million people suffer strokes world-wide each year and out of these, 5 million die and another 5 million are permanently disabled. Despite advances in stroke research during last decade, current strokes remain a vexing public health problem. Even with the onset of the 21st century, there is still no effective therapy for strokes beyond a limited group of patients who are treated with thrombolytics, which have significant adverse effects. This situation prevails despite intense research efforts and numerous clinical trials that have attempted to develop drugs to reduce morbidity and mortality from strokes. So far, drug development efforts have targeted modulators of ion channels (Ca2+and Na+), scavengers of oxygen radicals, and antagonists of excitotoxic neurotransmitters (primarily glutamate and glycine receptors). Despite tremendous progress in understanding the pathophysiology of a stroke, translation of this knowledge into effective therapies has largely failed, with the exception of thrombolysis, which only benefits a small proportion of patients. Systemic and local immune responses have important roles in causing stroke and are implicated in the primary and secondary progression of ischaemic lesions, as well as in repair, recovery, and overall outcome after a stroke. However, potential therapeutic targets in the immune system and inflammatory responses have not been well characterised. The development of novel and effective therapeutic strategies for strokes will require further investigation of these pathways in terms of their temporal profile (before, during, and after stroke) and risk-to-benefit therapeutic ratio of modulating them.","brand":"Nova Science Publishers Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48887111352663,"sku":"9781631177545","price":159.74,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781631177545.jpg?v=1722543056"},{"product_id":"prehospital-control-of-traumatic-external-hemorrhage-literature-review-evidence-analysis-of-tourniquets-hemostatic-dressings-9781634630658","title":"Prehospital Control of Traumatic External","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe majority of all road trauma deaths occur either at the scene of injury or in the pre-hospital setting.

In this book, the possible indications and pitfalls of integrating minimally invasive surgical techniques into the management of abdominal injuries are examined. Furthermore, post-traumatic haemorrhage is likely to represent the principle cause of preventable deaths amongst patients sustaining major traumatic injuries. Management of these patients and techniques (both old and emerging) are discussed, which may be able to more accurately identify early coagulopathy and enable goal-directed, targeted therapy. The third chapter of the book describes currently accepted classifications of pelvic trauma to examine the link between mechanism of injury and factors predictive of mortality. Recent advances made in services, protocols, imaging, instrumentation and management of pelvic trauma are examined, specifically looked at to determine whether any of it has served to improve the historically poor prognosis. Lastly, pancreatic injury in childhood is rare, constituting 0.3% to 0.7% of all trauma admissions at large paediatric trauma centres. Nonetheless, they do occur. The authors explore pancreatic duct ruptures in children, the subsequent diagnosis and treatment options, which usually require surgery or other interventional therapy and carry a significant risk of morbidity.","brand":"Nova Science Publishers Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48887190487383,"sku":"9781634825900","price":127.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781634825900.jpg?v=1722543437"},{"product_id":"abdominal-trauma-abdominal-aortic-aneurysms-symptoms-diagnostic-methods-treatment-outcomes-9781634834827","title":"Abdominal Trauma \u0026 Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms:","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this book, the epidemiology, identification of and management of injuries sustained from blunt abdominal trauma (BAT) in childhood are discussed, with a focus on recent advances and future research.
