Libri di James P. Rathmell

Nel 1953 appariva la prima versione del testo scritto da John Bonica, che rivoluzionava le prospettive, finalmente, sul trattamento delle sindromi dolorose, di varia tipologia e genere.Lo studio della fase essenziale, l’indagine pretrattamento, vedeva un inquadramento più esatto delle varie patologie che comportavano, come comun denominatore, il dolore.Le edizioni successive vedevano, per esigenze sempre più pressanti, per la progressione tecnologica e delle conoscenze mediche, un coinvolgimento progressivo di specialisti di altissima esperienza nei vari sistemi, dall’imaging alla farmacoeconomia. Oggi giungiamo alla recentissima pubblicazione della 5ª edizione, a distanza di più di 60 anni dalla prima, a cura di un panel di esperti internazionali, molti dei quali sono nati dopo la data della prima edizione, ma che sicuramente avranno avuto quel testo come guida, per stimolare il loro interesse nella ricerca, in relazione al trattamento delle sindromi dolorose. I capitoli coprono, ora, moltissimi aspetti, tra questi, i più innovativi sono rappresentati dalla valutazione del paziente: Considerazioni generali; Considerazioni economiche, politiche, legali ed etiche; Valutazione del paziente con dolore; Condizioni dolorose; Sistemi di controllo dei sintomi Il trattamento del dolore. La parte innovativa di questo testo parla dei Sistemi di Trattamento del dolore e descrive i sistemi di cura ed in particolar modo le metodiche di formazione degli specialisti nel trattamento del dolore.Vengono discussi alcuni aspetti, talora sottovalutati, della Medicina del dolore, dove ha un rilievo particolare l’assistenza di base, l’assistenza dei pazienti terminali, inclusa la Terapia intensiva e la Medicina d’urgenza.Il testo rappresenta veramente la base formativa che deve precedere la mera applicazione di sistemi e trattamenti del dolore, farmacologici o miniinvasivi o solo fisioterapici, dove non può esistere la semplice eccellenza nell’eseguire un gesto medico chirurgico.Quest’ultimo deve essere il risultato di un approfondito studio, multidisciplinare, del paziente nella sua complessità somatosensoriale ma anche affettiva e ambientale.
