Anestesia e rianimazione

This is a textbook of anaesthesia for postgraduate trainees.

This pocket book contains the European Resuscitation Council (ERC) Guidelines for Resuscitation 2005 in a concise, quick reference format for practical use in the field. The full guidelines will be published as a Supplement to the journal "Resuscitation" (December 2005) and will also appear in hardback book format (ISBN 0080448704). The clinical guidelines encompass the latest advances in resuscitation science and are evidence-based, providing the reader with an international consensus on best practice for safe and effective resuscitation. The recommendations cover the broad range of resuscitation scenarios that the lay-person or medical professional might encounter, both in and out of hospital. From basic to advanced life support, in adults, children and babies, every physician will find this a useful reference regardless of their experience. The appropriate procedures are presented in a step-by-step, easy to follow format with accompanying artwork to further clarify the necessary actions. Algorithms are used to summarise the key decisions and steps to be taken in each emergency situation. This approach will aid learning and encourage skill retention. Written by opinion leaders in the field of resuscitation, this pocket book is a culmination of the latest scientific evidence evaluated by international experts throughout Europe. These comprehensive guidelines will be an invaluable companion for all healthcare providers in their pursuit of optimum emergency care.

This expanded and updated 2006 edition of Handbook of ICU Therapy builds on the success of the first edition and continues to provide concise information on a broad spectrum of issues relating to care of the critically ill patient. There are also several new, topical chapters. As with the first edition, it is equally applicable to anaesthetists, intensivists, operating department practitioners and anaesthetic/theatre/recovery nurses, and the heart of the book focuses on providing practical information in a readable and easily accessible format. All of the authors are directly involved in ICU practice and/or research and are familiar with the most recent developments in this fast-moving area of medicine.

Another title in GMM's highly successful QBase series, this time focusing on the Final FRCA (Fellowship of the Royal College of Anaesthetists) with sets of examination papers the candidate can use to revise and practise their MCQ technique. As always, the self-learning experience is greatly enhanced by the free CD-ROM containing the QBase examination software. This powerful program allows the user to sit the pre-set exams as printed in the book, or to create their own exams using questions drawn from the total pool available on the CD-ROM. The program can either generate these exams randomly (maintaining the same proportions of each subject as the 'pre-set' exams), or the user can select any number of questions in any subject area, to create their very own exam.

Il testo è suddiviso in sezioni che trattano i concetti teorici e pratici dell'anestesiologia moderna

L'Energia è il tema centrale del libro. Sappiamo molto a proposito delle energie esterne impegnate nelle nostre meraviglie tecnologiche ma sappiamo pochissimo a proposito delle nostre energie interiori e ancor meno su come sfruttarle per perseguire felicità, salute e prosperità. La prima sezione di questo libro descrive l'esperienza del dolore, dai suoi aspetti anatomici e fisiologici, per arrivare alle frequenze elettromagnetiche impalpabili che controllano il funzionamento del nostro organismo. La seconda sezione delinea le energie interiori che operano all'interno di ciascuno di noi al fine di condurci verso condizioni di felicità, salute e relativa assenza di dolore.

Lo scopo di questo volume è quello di fornire all'odontoiatra una guida pratica e completa per affrontare l'anestesia in modo efficace e sicuro, scegliendo la soluzione migliore per ogni singolo caso ed evitando le complicanze che possono insorgere in caso di errori nella scelta o nel dosaggio del farmaco e nell'esecuzione delle tecniche. Il testo tratta tutti gli aspetti dell'anestesia locale in ambito odontoiatrico: dai fondamenti di farmacologia alle specifiche tecniche iniettive, dal dosaggio dei farmaci all'uso corretto dello strumentario. Il DVD in inglese, allegato al volume, è un importante strumento di apprendimento: impostato secondo la struttura del manuale, raccoglie filmati di dimostrazioni cliniche dal vivo e animazioni che facilitano la comprensione dei meccanismi di azione dei farmaci e delle diverse tecniche di somministrazione.

Esce la nuova edizione di questo testo-atlante, che rappresenta un elemento didattico importante per tutti gli anestesisti. Le tecniche, gli accorgimenti e i farmaci consigliati sono il risultato di anni di studio e di pratica volti alla ricerca di un progressivo perfezionamento. Sono proprio le moderne tecniche di anestesia e analgesia regionale, diverse dallo standard usuale, a permettere un'anestesia soddisfacente in categorie di pazienti ad alto rischio e in settori chirurgici particolarmente difficoltosi. L'impostazione schematica, supportata da una ricchissima iconografia, fa di questo testo uno strumento di lavoro di grande efficacia per ogni anestesista che voglia perfezionare e/o apprendere le diverse tecniche di blocco.

Coverage includes up-to-date information on cardiac and neurologic monitoring, off-pump surgery, new devices for anastomosis, robotic surgery, and neurologic complications and outcomes. Tables, algorithms, and 15 appendices summarize key facts, protocols, and clinical decisions.

This is the newest volume in the softcover series "Update in Intensive Care Medicine". It takes a novel, practical approach to analyzing hemodynamic monitoring, focusing on the patient and outcomes based on disease, treatment options and relevance of monitoring to direct patient care. It will rapidly become a classic in the approach to patient monitoring and management during critical illness.
