Anestesia e rianimazione

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.

The adult critical care setting requires complex clinical decisions to be made that have a dramatic impact on the lives of patients and their families. This textbook offers evidence-based case histories around shared decision making, providing practical advice to clinicians who are trying to navigate routine clinical scenarios in adult critical care. Early chapters explore the definition of the shared decision making process and practical steps that aid its implementation. The greater part of the book focuses on how shared decision making can be practiced in specific situations that are common in adult critical care, highlighting the relevant knowledge base necessary to manage each situation. Do-not-resuscitate and do-not-intubate orders, ECMO, and resolving conflicts regarding potentially inappropriate treatment are among the topics covered. An essential resource for healthcare professionals working in critical care and those looking for a framework for the use of shared decision making in this setting.

L’ Atlante di Gestione Interventistica del Dolore 5ª edizione è una guida esaustiva ed aggiornata sulle più moderne pratiche volte ad apportare sollievo a pazienti affetti da dolore acuto o cronico, destinata a specialisti e terapisti del dolore. L’ opera si compone di 19 nuovi capitoli, più di 600 illustrazioni a colori e di alta qualità dimostrative delle migliori tecniche e 100 sezioni dedicate, con dovizia di particolari ed immagini, alle più recenti manovre eco-guidate ed alle procedure condotte sotto guida fluoroscopica e con tomografia computerizzata. Fornisce indicazioni, riferimenti anatomici, tecniche, effetti collaterali e complicanze, nonché perle cliniche e codici CPT aggiornati per ogni procedura. Illustra chiaramente gli obiettivi anatomici per ciascuna procedura oltre a posizionamento e traiettoria dell’ago. Comprende, inoltre, l’accesso ai video procedurali, in lingua originale, riguardanti il ​​blocco epidurale traslucido cervicale, il blocco del ramo medico paravertebrale cervicale, la fusione percutanea delle facce, il blocco epidurale transforaminale lombare ed altro ancora. Il Dr. Steven D. Waldman guiderà l’utente passo dopo passo attraverso ogni procedura, incorporando tutte le modalità di imaging clinicamente appropriate per ottenere i migliori risultati in oltre 160 procedure di blocco nervoso.

This book represents a unique and substantial guide, and will bring anesthesiologists up-to-date on advances in the neuraxial technique and its applications in obstetrics. Today the epidural block is almost exclusively of interest to obstetric anesthesiologists, and how it is taught increasingly coincides with its applications in obstetrics.Since the classical, seminal textbooks by Bonica, Moore and Bromage, published in the 1950s and 60s, textbooks devoted solely to the epidural technique have become quite rare. Among more recent books, there are many excellent texts on epidural anesthesia or analgesia in obstetrics, but none are fully dedicated to the epidural technique, which is usually described in a few paragraphs or, at most, in a chapter. This highly detailed book, including videoclip on epidural technique, offers comprehensive coverage on epidurals; as such, it will appeal to all anesthesiologists, especially obstetric anesthesiologists.

There is a decreased tolerance for error when pediatric patients undergo medical procedures. It is, therefore, important to accomplish procedures as quickly and accurately as possible. Pediatric Anesthesia Procedures is designed to provide rapid access to information in order to solve a clinical problem as it is occurring. Its pictorial, highly visual format will allow anesthesiologists and other clinicians to review and 'see' the procedures during planning stages, making it a practical resource to keep in the operating room for quick and easy reference during time-pressured situations. This will make it especially useful for practitioners doing procedures that they perform infrequently-or must perform for the first time during an emergent or urgent situation. The chapters within cover a wide variety of basic and advanced pediatric anesthesia procedures and provide generously illustrated step-by-step guidelines for performing them. Each is introduced with an accessible description, followed by a variety of high-quality graphic images-including detailed photographs, magnetic resonance images, computed tomography images, and ultrasound images-and detailed instructions.

La seconda edizione del testo dedicato al dolore intimo (di Ezio Vincenti ed Helga Vincenti) tratta, dal punto di vista teoric

The fifth edition of this popular textbook continues to provide a solid foundation of pharmacological knowledge for all those working in anaesthesia and intensive care. The content has been thoroughly revised to include expanded chapters with clearer figures, ensuring readers are kept abreast of the ever-changing landscape of clinical pharmacology. Conveniently divided into four sections covering the basic principles of pharmacology, core drugs in anaesthetic practice, cardiovascular drugs, and other important drugs and complemented by new diagrams, tables and chemical formulae to facilitate learning. All four chapters on core drugs in anaesthetic practice have been updated along with others exploring applied pharmacokinetic models, antimicrobials, and drugs used in diabetes. An ideal aid to study and practice for junior and trainee anaesthetists and intensive care specialists preparing for exams. Also an invaluable resource for theatre practitioners, ICU nurses and physicians working in areas that demand a solid knowledge of pharmacology.
