Successful airway management demands strict attention to anatomic detail and the ability to tailor management strategies to each patient's illness and presentation. With the "Atlas of Airway Management", readers will discover a clinically focused, abundantly illustrated guide to relevant anatomy, as well as the latest tools and proven techniques in the field. The Second Edition of this respected resource presents an improved and enlarged text-along with new sections on pediatric applications, bronchoscopy, special airway considerations in the emergency room and the ICU, and post-intubation care issues. Coverage of new and emerging techniques includes material on noninvasive ventilation and high-frequency jet ventilation. A wealth of helpful features...: clinical orientation of the text emphasizes practical approaches over theory; concise presentation and abundant lists make key facts easy to find and retain; lavishly illustrated design includes high-quality color photographs and drawings to help readers better identify key anatomic features; step-by-step "how-to" approach delivers practical procedural guidance; and, coverage of the latest tools and techniques embraces the fields of anesthesiology, critical care, pediatric critical care, and emergency medicine. New in the Second Edition...: improved and enlarged illustration program facilitates visual learning; co-editor, Paul Bigeleisen, brings his expertise in anesthesiology to the text; new chapters address airway management solutions for patients with obstructive sleep apnea and morbid obesity, as well as airway issues for gynecologic patients; a new section addresses surgical situations requiring specialized airway management; updated information on the latest tools addresses devices such as the Glidescope and other video-type laryngoscopes; and, companion website includes the complete and fully searchable text, plus videos of airway procedures designed to improve technique.

"Teaching Files" are one of the hallmarks of radiology education, providing the kind of personal consultation with experts normally found only in the setting of a teaching hospital. This teaching file contains 164 cases, covering all areas of head and neck imaging. A consistent format is used to present each case. Chapters are organized by anatomical region. Included are cases on the temporal bone, skull base, eye and orbit, sinuses and nasal cavity, neck, trachea, salivary glands, hypopharynx and cervical esophagus, oropharynx and larynx. The book can be used both as an independent study and review tool for board-exam preparation and as a companion to Dr. Mancuso's majesterial, two-volume text, "Head and Neck Radiology" (2010), chapters from which are referenced following each case for further reading. The cases follow a standard format popular with residents and fellows: clinical presentation, questions, findings, differential diagnosis, diagnosis, discussion, reporting responsibilities, and a section on what the treating physician needs to know. This format emphasizes critical thinking within a clinical context, to build medical decision-making skills. A password-protected companion website, free to purchasers of the book, also includes all cases.

Designed for health care professionals in multiple disciplines and clinical settings, this comprehensive, evidence-based wound care text provides basic and advanced information on wound healing and therapies and emphasizes clinical decision-making. The text integrates the latest scientific findings with principles of good wound care and provides a complete set of current, evidence-based practices. This edition features a full color design with color images, a new chapter on burn management, and a new chapter on hyperbaric oxygen therapy. Technological advances covered include ultrasound for wound debridement, laser treatments, and a single-patient-use disposable device for delivering pulsed radio frequency.

Long established as a staple reference for all radiation oncologists, "Radiotherapy for Head and Neck Cancers: Indications and Techniques" is now in its fourth edition. This completely updated edition presents the state-of-the-art protocols currently used at the MD Anderson Cancer Center and thoroughly explains the principles, nomenclature, and clinical use of intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT). The first section discusses the practical aspects of external beam therapy, brachytherapy, and endocavitary beam therapy and offers guidelines on patient care before and during radiotherapy. The second section provides detailed coverage of site-specific indications and techniques.
