Elsevier Health Sciences Cardiorespiratory Physiotherapy Adults and
Book SynopsisTrade ReviewNow in its fourth edition this text is a must for all physiotherapy students. The chapters are well laid out, and all of the information is explained in an easily understandable way. This new edition provides the most up to date information for clinical practice from paediatrics through to the elderly. Chapter six is particularly useful, it provides the reader with case studies and then works through a logical way of problem solving along with introducing the reader to specific outcome measures. All in all a must have text!!!! - Laura Culpan, Physiotherapy Student, University of Bradford This book is a must have for respiratory learning as it is clear and concise and contains both adults and paediatric care. The clear diagrams make it easier to learn and the chapters cover core subjects for example assessments, techniques, paediatrics, ventilation and many more. Throughout the authors have made small summary physio points which will be useful when revising for a particular topic. The authors have also used flow charts and pictures to put across some of the information which is very useful for visual learners. I would very much recommend this book as it contains all of the information needed for respiratory at university and during your career. - Charlotte Barrett, Physiotherapy Student, Cardiff University, UK. Overall this is a good all-round, evidence based resource to use whilst studying or if newly qualified that covers all the main aspects of respiratory and cardiac physiotherapy. It is a great place to start when writing case studies in this field. This book is structured in the familiar style that we have come to know Elsevier for: a logical and clear design that is well laid out with the text presented in a variety of formats and supported with photographs, drawings and diagrams. The sections covering surgery, again provide good information for the student, particularly things like commonly used drugs and side effects, terminology and common procedures that are likely to be encountered. Finally, there are a number of handy images stored online that can be used in your presentations but perhaps this facility would have been better with a few more resources available, such as quizzes or tests to assess knowledge. - Linda Wilkinson, Physiotherapy Student, University of Southampton, UK. As a 1st year physiotherapy student, I've been able to use this book to understand the pathophysiology of cardiorespiratory problems as well as their clinical management. It's also well structured, beginning with the assessment of a cardiorespiratory patient and covering assessment tests and techniques and their interpretation. I also like that it has separate sections for paediatrics and adults and also has a good overview of types of surgery. I feel that this book is not only useful to me now but will be essential when I go on placement, as a reference to clarify and build on my day-to-day learning. I would recommend this text to anyone looking for a good overall cardiorespiratory text. - Mayuri Butchart, Physiotherapy Student, King's College London, UK. "I found this text book useful, informative and a great aid to my first practice placement."

Elsevier Health Sciences The Chest XRay A Survival Guide
Book SynopsisFeaturing a practical, clinical approach, this title helps you build a foundation in chest x-ray interpretation. It presents fundamental principles and key anatomical concepts. It walks you through examples of chest x-ray features that provide evidence of abnormality. It explores a variety of problems and dilemmas common to clinical practice.Trade ReviewThis small inexpensive paperback is intended to be a convenient and informative, white coat pocket guide. It fulfils this aim admirably and I much enjoyed reading it. The book derives from the radiology "Red Dot teaching course. I am certainly going to recommend this book for personal purchase by those of our trainee radiologists who are unable to attend the course, and I will frequently refer to my own review copy when teaching plain film chest radiographic interpretation. Rad Magazine Review, January 2009 The radiology trainee faced with the task of independently reporting chest radiographs will find this book invaluable. It is an eminently readable volume serving both as a comprehensive introduction to, and a handy pocket sized reference on radiology investigation. The Royal College of Radiologists, 2008 "The radiographs are surprisingly clear and the diagrams are excellent - illustrating points that are sometimes difficult to visualise...This book successfully shows that a topic can be made accessible without being oversimplified - and, in fact, that explanation of the nuances can often make the topic 'easier' still. Well done to the authors" BMA Book Awards 2009 - judges comments

Elsevier Health Sciences Recognizing and Treating Breathing Disorders
Book SynopsisDisordered breathing patterns may be a symptom or a cause of frequently undiagnosed health problems. This book is intended to help practitioners understand the causes and effects of disordered breathing and to provide strategies and protocols to help restore normal function.Trade Review"...this far-reaching book covers everything one would wish to learn about breathing pattern disorders - I feel it is an essential source of reference and information to all health professionals working in this area...I would urge everyone interested in the subject to place an order..." Anne Pitman MCSP SRP, Manual Therapy, October 2002 "The whole book is well illustrated and referenced, provides practical case examples and sensible cautions..I cannot think of anything they have left out. Ashley Conway. Journal of Holistic Healthcare: Volume 4 Issue 4 November 2007 Patients with common psychological dysfunction including anxiety, low mood and depression, sleep disorder, chronic low energy syndromes etc., all can respond well when the breath cycle is identified and adapted by cognitive processes. This text is the most comprehensive of its kind and the clinical application of the content so broadly based it deserves a wide readership. Donald Scott, Osteopath, UK This is an extremely well-detailed book and I love how it explores all areas of breathing i.e. the psychological, emotional and physical elements of the process. Eva Au Zveglic, Specialised Respiratory Physiotherapist, UK This book will appeal to anyone with an interest in breathing from whatever discipline they belong to. Anne Pitman, Physiotherapy, Devonshire Place, London, UK As the current title suggests, I feel the book appropriately covers multidisciplinary management strategies of BPD which is an extremely important aim given that the disorder is so complex with multiple aetiologies and no single assessment or treatment tool. Kate Bazin. Physiotherapist, UK Breathing is an overlooked part of human function. We need more information about breathing as it is such an important prerequisite for the normal functioning of so many other body systems. Ken Crenshaw, Head Athletic Trainer of the Arizona Diamondbacks Baseball Team, USA As clinical practitioners we must always be aware of causation, maintaining and exacerbating factors. Abnormal breathing has the ability to be all three of these. T. Hewetson, Lecturer in Osteopathy, Oxford, UK This is not a perfect all-encompassing textbook.That was not its purpose. As a catalyst for stimulating further exploration and for use as a reference in clinical work of wide-ranging paradigms it succeeds admirably.

Springer International Publishing AG Lung Ultrasound in the Critically Ill: The BLUE
Book SynopsisWritten by a pioneer in critical care ultrasound, this book discusses the basic technique and “signatures” of lung ultrasound and explains its main clinical applications. The tools and clinical uses of the BLUE protocol, which allows diagnosis of most cases of acute respiratory failure, are first described in detail. Careful attention is then devoted to protocols derived from the BLUE protocol – the FALLS protocol for diagnosis and management of acute circulatory failure, the Pink protocol for use in ARDS, and the SESAME protocol for use in cardiac arrest – and to the LUCI-FLR program, a means of answering clinical questions while reducing radiation exposure. Finally, the book discusses all the possible settings in which lung ultrasound can be used, discipline by discipline and condition by condition. Lung Ultrasound in the Critically Ill comprehensively explains how ultrasound can become the stethoscope of modern medicine. It is a superb complement to the author’s previous book, Whole Body Ultrasonography in the Critically Ill.Trade Review“The introduction to Lung Ultrasound in the Critically Ill: The BLUE Protocol highlights the development of lung US for the critically ill and the hurdles encountered. … this book serves as an excellent reference for the topic of lung US from a comprehensive approach that has not previously been available. The author provides thorough background and has structured the concepts so as to appeal to any acute care specialty.” (Davinder Ramsingh, Anesthesia & Analgesia, Vol. 125 (4), October, 2017)“The book reflects the colossal experience of a dedicated physician evaluating the lungs with simple ultrasound technology. It is rich in practical points, clinical pearls, anecdotes, and historical and philosophical citations. … Dr. Lichtenstein is one of the pioneers of bedside ultrasound.

University of Minnesota Press Breathtaking: Asthma Care in a Time of Climate
Book SynopsisAnalyzing asthma care in the twenty-first centuryAsthma is not a new problem, but today the disease is being reshaped by changing ecologies, healthcare systems, medical sciences, and built environments. A global epidemic, asthma (and our efforts to control it) demands an analysis attentive to its complexity, its contextual nature, and the care practices that emerge from both. At once clearly written and theoretically insightful, Breathtaking provides a sweeping ethnographic account of asthma’s many dimensions through the lived experiences of people who suffer from disordered breathing, as well as by considering their support networks, from secondary school teachers and coaches, to breathing educators and new smartphone applications designed for asthma control. Against the backdrop of unbreathable environments, Alison Kenner describes five modes of care that illustrate how asthma is addressed across different sociocultural scales. These modes of care often work in combination, building from or preceding one another. Tensions also exist between them, a point reflected by Kenner’s description of the structural conditions and material rhythms that shape everyday breathing, chronic disease, and our surrounding environments. She argues that new modes of distributed, collective care practices are needed to address asthma as a critical public health issue in the time of climate change.Trade Review"This elegant first monograph from the Asthma Files Project is written simply for all audiences and provides five practical recommendations. Breathtaking is social science at its best: experiential, explanatory, critical, and providing ways forward. Alison Kenner herself is an active participant as community social-scientist and as partner to someone who suffers disordered breathing. She guides us vividly across scales and registers."—Michael M.J. Fischer, author of Anthropology in the Meantime"Breathtaking is a sweeping ethnographic account of asthma and its treatments that expertly traverses questions of lived experience, medical technology, and critical ecology as they bear on the epidemic of disordered breathing. Beautifully written and poignant, this book makes a robust contribution to our understanding of the health effects of environmental degradation and climate change, deepens the critiques of biomedicalization, and heralds the promise of complementary and alternative medicine."—Anthony Ryan Hatch, author of Blood Sugar"Breathtaking is an engrossing read."—CHOICE"Breathtaking presents a compelling and very readable ethnographic overview of the ways that asthma is grappled with across a variety of 21st century American contexts. This book offers an insightful and multi-faceted account of a condition that affects so many around the world."—Somatosphere"Overall, Breathtaking takes asthma from the biomedical world, and using a multi-sited ethnography, traces connections between the experience of asthma, the environment and our bodies, allowing us to imagine new carescapes that could make the world more breathable."—LSE Review of Books"In the absence of swift and uncompromising action on the part of US legislators to combat climate change, Kenner advocates democratizing access to affordable health care; integrating breathing training into the doctor’s toolkit; and enacting policy, at all levels of government, to improve the indoor environments in which we spend the majority of our time."—H-EnvironmentTable of ContentsIntroduction1.

Springer Nature Switzerland AG Critical Care of COVID-19 in the Emergency
Book SynopsisThis book functions as a comprehensive manual for emergency care providers who are treating critically ill COVID-19 patients. Beginning with an overview of the COVID-19 infection and an examination of the patients who received critical care from hospital emergency departments around the country, this book provides clinicians with a guide to best-practices in everything from personal protection while deploying critical care to COVID-19 patients to evaluation and diagnosis of the illness. Subsequent chapters break down care of various comorbidities seen in COVID-19 patients and the care offered to patients suffering from the illness in a multitude of ways. Closing chapters examine how emergency departments can best prepare for potential surges in COVID-19 patients as the illness continues to develop, providing important information on how to best protect hospital employees and best care for future patients in a constantly shifting landscape.Due to the rapid onset of the illness and strong-hold the pandemic had on the lives and careers of healthcare professionals, Critical Care of COVID-19 in the Emergency Department fills a critical gap in the literature available on this topic.Table of Contents1.

Springer Verlag Chlamydia pneumoniae: The Lung and the Heart
Book SynopsisChlamydia pneumoniae is now recognized as an important human pathogen. Chlamydia pneumoniae is involved in 5%-15% of community acquired pneumonias, and recent data indicate its relevance in severe pneumonia and as a respiratory pathogen in immunocompromised subjects. A causal role for Chlamydia pneumoniae in the initiation, exacerbations and promotion of asthma has been suggested. Approximately 5% of chronic bronchitis exacerbations have been attributed to Chlamydia pneumoniae infections, and chronic infection may facilitate access of other pathogens to the lower respiratory tract. Another field of potential great social impact is the possible involvement of Chlamydia pneumoniae in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis and related cardiovascular diseases. This book presents the current state-of-the-art knowledge on Chlamydia pneumoniae infection and highlights future lines of research.Table of ContentsHistory of Chlamydia Pneumoniae (TWAR) Chlamydia Pneumoniae Microbiology Chlamydia Pneumoniae: Culture Methods Serology for Chlamydia Pneumoniae (TWAR) Chlamydia Pneumoniae: Molecular Biology Methods Chlamydia Pneumoniae Infections: Application of Laboratory Methods Chlamydia Pneumoniae: How to Document Respiratory Infection Chlamydia Pneumoniae: Epidemiology, Pharmacological and Pharmacokinetic Basis of Chlamydia Pneumoniae Treatment Chlamydia Pneumoniae: Clinical Characteristics of Acute Respiratory Infections Are Atypical Pathogens Important for Patients with Communicty Acquired Pneumoniae Immunology of Chlamydia Pneumoniae Chronic Chlamydia Pneumoniae Infections Chlamydia Pneumoniae, a new possible cause of Asthma Chlamydia Pneumoniae: Evidence for a Role in Children Infections Chlamydia Pneumoniae: An Important Pathogen in Chronic Bronchitis Chlamydia Pneumoniae: A New Threat for HIV-Infected Subjects Chlamydia Pneumoniae: Epidemiology of a New Cardiovascular Risk Factor Chlamyida Pneumoniae and Atherosclerosis: Mechanisms of Vacular Damage Chlamydia Pneumoniae and Atherosclerosis: Animal Models Open and Controlled Interventions Trials for 'Unusual' anti Chlamydia Pneumoniae Indications: Asthma, Atherosclerosis, Myocardial Infarction Perspectives and Perceptions on the Clinical Relevance of Chlamydia Pneumoniae Infections.

Jaypee Brothers Medical Publishers Manual of Oxygen Therapy
Book SynopsisOxygen therapy is a treatment that provides a patient with extra oxygen to breathe in. It is also called supplemental oxygen. It is only available through a prescription from a health care provider. Patients may receive it in hospital, another medical setting, or at home. Some people only need it for a short period of time. Others will need long-term oxygen therapy. There are different types of devices that can provide oxygen. Some use tanks of liquid or gas oxygen. Others use an oxygen concentrator, which pulls oxygen out of the air. The oxygen is administered through a nose tube (cannula), a mask, or a tent. The extra oxygen is breathed in along with normal air. This book is a concise guide to oxygen therapy for clinicians and trainees. Divided into four sections the text begins with an overview of the basic facts of oxygen, describing the different types and their individual uses in clinical therapy. Section two discusses the physiology and monitoring of oxygen therapy, and section three covers different devices and delivery systems, and oxygen toxicity (lung damage from breathing in too much extra oxygen). The final section examines oxygen targets in disease specifics, how the therapy works, and the effects of hypoxia (low oxygen levels in body tissues) and hypoxemia (low oxygen levels in the blood).Table of ContentsSection 1: Basic Facts of Oxygen Industrial Oxygen/Medical Oxygen Medical Piped Gas Structure Design and Safety Systems/Pin Index Safety Medical Compressed Gas Cylinders/Handling and Use Cryogenic Liquid Medical Oxygen Oxygen Concentrators/Augmentors Oxygen Hazards and Safety Audit of Oxygen Usage in Prehospital and Hospital Settings Section 2: Physiology & Monitoring of Oxygen Therapy Physiology of Gas Exchange Goals of Oxygen Therapy Drive to Breathe and Carbon Dioxide Retention Oxygen Transport Oxhemoglobin Dissociation Curve Diffusion of Oxygen and Factors Affecting Gas Exchange Pulse Oximetry - Understanding and Limitations Venous and Arterial Blood Gas Analysis Section 3: Oxygen Delivery Systems for the Individual Patients Oxygen Delivery Devices Humidification High Flow Oxygen Therapy Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Oxygen Toxicity Section 4:Oxygen Targets The Effects of Hypoxia & Hypoxemia How Does Oxygen Therapy Work?
