È con sincera soddisfazione che presento l’edizione italiana di Accessi venosi - Il manuale NYSORA©. Questo volume nasce da un’idea semplice e al tempo stesso ambiziosa: trasformare un gesto clinico tra i più frequenti in sanità in un atto standardizzato, sicuro e riproducibile, per ogni persona e in ogni contesto di cura.L’accesso venoso accompagna l’intero percorso del paziente: dal pronto soccorso alla sala operatoria, dalle terapie intensive ai reparti, fino all’assistenza territoriale. È un filo che unisce diagnosi, terapia, nutrizione, analgesia, monitoraggio. Proprio perché così comune, merita la massima attenzione: la differenza tra un inserimento “ben fatto” e uno “accettabile” si misura in complicanze prevenute, comfort del paziente, tempo risparmiato, uso appropriato delle risorse.Il merito di questo manuale è duplice. Anzitutto porta chiarezza: offre una mappa ordinata che consente di orientarsi con sicurezza dal principio all’azione, con una progressione logica e leggibile. La struttura didattica privilegia passi operativi espliciti, schemi sintetici e illustrazioni di qualità, accompagnati da suggerimenti pratici e richiami agli errori più comuni, strumenti che rendono l’apprendimento concreto e la consultazione immediata. In secondo luogo, il testo integra la tecnologia con il ragionamento clinico. Ciò che potrebbe restare un dispositivo o una procedura diventa, pagina dopo pagina, pratica consapevole. La sicurezza, infatti, non è intesa come un atto isolato, ma come il risultato di allenamento sistematico, procedure condivise e attenzione ai fattori umani. Ne nasce un approccio che promuove il lavoro di squadra, favorisce un linguaggio comune e integra il gesto tecnico in un progetto assistenziale più ampio, orientato alla qualità, alla tracciabilità e alla continuità della cura.Per queste ragioni, si propone come un testo di riferimento per ogni contesto. Questo manuale nasce con l’ambizione discreta ma essenziale di accompagnare chi studia, chi insegna e chi opera nella quotidianità, offrendo una trama ordinata su cui costruire conoscenze, allenare abilità e condividere buone pratiche. La chiarezza dell’esposizione e la continuità del linguaggio lo rendono uno strumento di apprendimento, di insegnamento e di consultazione, adatto a diversi livelli di esperienza e a molteplici ambienti di lavoro. In questo senso, promuove una cultura della qualità, della sicurezza e della riproducibilità che travalica i confini disciplinari e diventa patrimonio condiviso.È un’opera pensata per durare: uno strumento che sostiene la formazione continua, incoraggia la responsabilità professionale e favorisce la coerenza tra contesti diversi, e guarda con coraggio verso il futuro e l’innovazione tecnologica. La sua utilità sta tanto nel dettaglio, quanto nella cornice, ossia nell’offrire un orientamento chiaro, stabile e affidabile a chi cerca un passo comune e una visione unitaria.Se riusciremo a diffondere le buone pratiche qui descritte, non miglioreremo soltanto gli esiti, ma restituiremo tempo: tempo senza dolore inutile, senza punture ripetute, senza rimozioni anticipate. Tempo di qualità per la persona assistita e per chi se ne prende cura.Accessi venosi - Il manuale NYSORA© rappresenta un contributo fondamentale al progresso della nostra disciplina. Esso unisce rigore scientifico, praticità clinica e una visione etica della cura, offrendo ai clinici di ogni livello un supporto indispensabile per affrontare le complessità dell’accesso venoso. Come educatore e leader, sono orgogliosa di sostenere questa iniziativa, che riflette i valori della nostra comunità scientifica e il nostro impegno incessante per il benessere dei pazienti.Invito tutti i lettori, dai giovani specializzandi ai professionisti più esperti, a esplorare questo manuale con curiosità e dedizione, utilizzandolo non solo come una guida tecnica, ma come uno stimolo per riflettere sul significato profondo della nostra professione. L’accesso venoso è molto più di una procedura: è un atto di cura, un gesto di fiducia e una testimonianza del nostro impegno a salvare vite. Che questo manuale sia per tutti noi una fonte di ispirazione e un promemoria della responsabilità che portiamo ogni giorno nelle nostre mani.Con gratitudine agli autori Admir Hadzic e Catherine Vandepitte, ai curatori dell’edizione italiana, Jacopo D’Andria Ursoleo e Fabrizio Monaco, e a tutte le équipe che ogni giorno trasformano la teoria in pratica, auguro a questo manuale il percorso che merita: diventare uno standard con cui misurare l’eccellenza dell’accesso venoso nel nostro Paese.Elena BignamiPresidente SIAARTIProfessore Ordinario di AnestesiologiaDipartimento di Medicina e ChirurgiaUniversità di Parma

This official textbook of the Society of Neurocritical Care (SNCC) comprises a comprehensive review of all possible neurologic conditions that one may encounter in the practice of neuro-intensive care. It covers various topics, from the history and origin of neuro-intensive care to psychological and nursing care. Neurocritical care is the intensive care management of patients with life-threatening neurological and neurosurgical illnesses such as massive stroke, bleeding in or around the brain (subarachnoid hemorrhage, intracerebral hemorrhage, subdural hemorrhage, intraventricular hemorrhage), brain tumors, brain trauma, status epilepticus, nerve and muscle diseases (myasthenia gravis, Guillain-Barre Syndrome), spinal cord disorders and the cardiopulmonary complications of brain injury. Neurocritical care units specialize in managing the unique needs of such critically ill patients. The textbook is divided into many sections. Chapters discuss issues related to palliative care and describe some of the commonly performed procedures in the neuro-intensive care unit as well. It provides a straightforward and systematic approach to various clinical problems encountered during intensive care management of neurologic patients. It includes a separate section on special considerations in neurocritical care. The book includes ample figures, flowcharts and algorithms. The textbook is a valuable resource for residents, fellows and trainees in neuroanesthesia, neurointensive care, critical care, and anesthesia. It serves as a quick guide to all intensivists managing neurosurgical patients. It is also helpful for general intensivists who occasionally manages neurologic patients.

Neurocritical care is a multidisciplinary specialty that provides comprehensive management for all life-threatening disorders of the central nervous system and their complications. Increased understanding of the pathophysiology of acute central nervous system disorders and their impact on systemic organ systems, in association with advances in neuromonitoring and neuroimaging techniques, has led to the introduction of more effective and individualised treatment strategies that have translated into improved outcomes for critically ill neurological patients. As well as treatments targeted to the acute neurological disorder, critically ill neurological patients require meticulous general intensive care support to maintain systemic physiological stability and optimize neurological outcomes. The second edition of the Oxford Textbook of Neurocritical Care brings together international experts from various disciplines to provide a comprehensive global perspective on this field. In 33 updated or new chapters, the book discusses the pathophysiology of acute neurological conditions, advancements in monitoring and imaging techniques, evidenced-based treatment strategies, prognostication, patient outcomes, and ethics. Each chapter highlights advancements within specific areas and underscores the critical attention to detail that is the basis of neurocritical care practice. While primarily designed for those in the neurocritical care field, this textbook also serves as a valuable resource for other clinical professionals who encounter patients with acute neurological conditions in their practice. It is also a useful resource for trainees from many disciplines

E' un meraviglioso intreccio di storia, scienza e cultura il nuovo libro di Alemanno. Un libro scritto – e che si legge – come un romanzo, ma che è molto di più. L’autobiografia dell’autore, che già da sola basterebbe a regalare una lettura avvincente e formativa, è solo il pretesto per fornire una nitida fotografia che coglie la complessità e la bellezza della nostra professione in tutte le sue sfaccettature, fornendo un prezioso spaccato della storia dell’anestesia e rianimazione italiana e di chi ne è stato protagonista entusiasta ed indiscusso. Ma questo è anche, a tutti gli effetti, un libro di testo che, prendendo spunto dal passato e andando spesso oltre la curiosità “storica”, riesce ad equipaggiare il lettore di strumenti e conoscenze preziosi per il presente e il futuro. Edema cerebrale, blocchi centrali e periferici, terapia del dolore sono solo alcuni degli argomenti affrontati con perizia e chiarezza: tra questi spiccano un’ampia e dettagliata descrizione della tecnica del blocco del plesso brachiale, che nasce dall’acume e dalla inesauribile dedizione dell’autore e che porta il suo nome, nonché un’illuminante lezione di biochimica (altro amore e cavallo di battaglia a cui Fernando ha dedicato un intero precedente libro), che mostra come dalle scienze di base si possono trarre insegnamenti utili nella pratica clinica, più spesso di quanto si pensi. Viene inoltre affrontato con garbo, chiarezza e schiettezza un argomento “spinoso” (ma forse un po’ meno per gli addetti ai lavori “navigati”… ed è proprio questo il messaggio): l’eutanasia.Non manca una ricca iconografia, che include preziosi disegni anatomici, tecniche, strumenti, formule, documenti e personaggi illustri.Questo libro è anche una lezione di vita (privata e professionale) per le nuove generazioni di anestesisti-rianimatori: studio, cultura, costanza, tenacia, spirito di iniziativa sono la chiave…Questo libro è, infine, un atto d’amore verso una professione che, anche tra le mille difficoltà che ogni giorno viviamo, può regalare soddisfazioni straordinarie.
