Book SynopsisTransplant nursing is the delivery of specialized nursing care focused on protecting, promoting, and optimizing the health and abilities of both the transplant recipient and the living donor across the life span. Patient care includes prevention, detection, and treatment of illness and injury related to diseases treated by solid organ transplantation and to diseases that may result from living donation. Transplant nursing also addresses the prevention of further disease and the promotion of optimal health and well-being of organ recipients and donors.ANA and the International Transplant Nurses Society convened a workgroup of transplant nurse experts from to update and expand the 2008 edition to accommodate ongoing and anticipated changes in their specialty and in health care. With input from numerous nurses, they developed this revised edition. It is a comprehensive delineation of the competent level of practice and professional performance common to and expected from transplant registered nurses in all practice levels and settings.The publication’s scope of practice addresses what is expected of all transplant nurses, specifying the who, what, where, when, why, and how of their practice. This gives the context—the underlying assumptions, characteristics, environments and settings, education and training requirements, key issues and trends, and ethical and conceptual bases of transplant nursing—needed to understand and use the standards.Those 16 standards, which offer a framework for evaluating practice outcomes and goals, are those by which all transplant nurses are held accountable for their practice. The set of specific competencies accompanying each standard serves as evidence of minimal compliance with that standard. A foundational volume that is primarily for those directly involved with transplant nursing practice, education, and research, other nurses and allied healthcare providers, researchers, and scholars will find value in this content. It is also a resource for employers, insurers, lawyers, policy makers, regulators, and stakeholders involved in solid organ transplantation.About ANA’s Specialty Nursing StandardsSince the late 1990s, ANA has partnered with other nursing organizations to establish a formal process for recognition of specialty areas of nursing practice. This includes the criteria for approving the specialty itself and the scope statement, and an acknowledgment by ANA of the standards of practice for that specialty. Because of the significant changes in the evolving nursing and healthcare environments, ANA’s approval of specialty nursing scope statements and its acknowledgment of specialty standards of practice remain valid for five years, starting from the publication date of the documents. The standards in this publication are based on language from ANA’s Nursing: Scope and Standards of Practice, Second Edition, a helpful supplement to this specialty text, which in turn is of optimal use with two complementary ANA texts: Nursing’s Social Policy Statement and Guide to the Code of Ethics for Nurses. Together, these three books help guide nursing practice, thinking, and decision-making. The set is proving useful as a professional reference, classroom textbook, in-service training guide, and credentialing exam resource.Table of Contents Scope of Transplant Nursing Practice Introduction to Transplant Nursing International Transplant Nurses Society and Transplant Nursing Practice The Growth of Transplant Nursing Practice What is Transplant Nursing? Key Elements of Transplant Nursing Practice Settings and Roles: The Where, When, and Who Practice Characteristics: The How and Why of Transplant Nursing Clinical Transplant Nurse/Transplant Nurse Generalist Transplant Nurse Coordinator Advanced Practice Registered Nurse Specializing in Transplantation Societal and Ethical Dimensions Describe the How and Why of Transplant Nursing A Unique Base of Knowledge and Set of Skills Globalization of Transplant Nursing Palliative Care and Transplant Nursing Ethics and Informed Decisions Future Considerations Standards of Pediatric Nursing Practice StandardsofPractice Standard 1.

Book SynopsisPostoperative pain is a common problem in clinical practice that becomes chronic in approximately 10% to 30% of adults who undergo surgery, being severe in 5 to 10% of them. It is one of the main causes of chronic pain, which makes it a major public health problem. It generates in patients who suffer it a worsening of their quality of life, their psychological well-being, and disability with the consequent incapacity for work. Given that both its aetiology and its consequences are complex and multifactorial, postoperative pain must be approached from a multimodal perspective: preventive, pharmacological, nutritional, rehabilitative, nursing intervention, psychological and, in those refractory cases, through surgical approaches or nerve block techniques. This book aims at first to analyse the pathophysiological and psychological bases that underlie its aetiology. Next, it aims to carry out an updated review of the multidisciplinary programs for the treatment of postoperative pain that have been carried out and what their results have been. Moreover, the contribution of each of these disciplines in the ambulatory management of postoperative pain will be reviewed. Finally, we want to study the peculiarities of the management of this type of pain in the oncological patient, as well as the personal and socioeconomic consequences and the increase in other comorbidities of this important reason for consultation.Table of ContentsPreface; Molecular Basis for Understanding Pain and its Treatment; Psychological Bases of Pain; Basis of Ambulatory Management of Postoperative Pain; Pharmacological Treatment to Ambulatory Management of Postoperative Pain; Perioperative Immunonutrition and Effects on Postoperative Pain; Endocrinometabolic Alterations Secondary to Postoperative Pain and Its Management; Intraoperative Approaches for Postoperative Pain Relief; Laparoscopic-Guided Transversus Abdominis Plane Block; Nerve Blocks for Postoperative Pain Control; Surgical Site Infections (SSI); Special Features of Postoperative Pain Management in the Pediatric Patient; Special Features of Postoperative Pain Management in Elderly Patients; Special Features of Postoperative Pain Management in the Oncological Patient; Nursing Intervention on Ambulatory Pain Management; Physical Rehabilitation and Postoperative Exercises for Postoperative Pain Relief; Mindfulness and Postoperative Pain; Effects of Music Therapy on Perioperative Stress and Anxiety; Review of Multidisciplinary Strategies in the Treatment of Chronic Postoperative Pain; Economic Impact of Postoperative Pain; Index.

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.
