Questo testo è l’evoluzione delle tre precedenti pubblicazioni del Libro Italiano di Cure Palliative, ma esce come Manuale di medicina e cure palliative per segnare un momento di cambiamento e innovazione. Il testo mantiene una continuità, con l’inclusione di molti dei precedenti collaboratori, tra curatori delle sezioni e autori dei capitoli, ma si avvale di una revisione dei contenuti e degli argomenti, tentando di essere completo per le aspettative e i bisogni dei clinici dedicati alla medicina e alle cure palliative. Il nuovo volume è a cura dei professori Augusto Caraceni e Marco Maltoni, che si riconfermano dalla precedente pubblicazione, e di due nuovi editors, dottori Raffaella Antonione e Simone Veronese.Il libro è anche un tentativo di offrire un riferimento culturale generale, un conciso e aggiornato vademecum che sia di utilità per molti: per gli studenti delle Scuole di Specializzazione in Medicina e Cure Palliative; per il giovane palliativista che inizia la professione; per l’esperto che incontra una situazione, un caso o un’evenienza clinica, a lui o a lei meno noto per una prima valutazione, da approfondire poi; per lo studente di medicina o di infermieristica più curioso e interessato. Dovrebbe inoltre essere di interesse per lo specializzando di oncologia, neurologia, cardiologia, medicina interna e altre specializzazioni che, nella sua formazione, possa riflettere sulla rilevanza della medicina palliativa per i suoi pazienti.Potrà servire anche all’ispirazione e alle prime mosse nella ricerca clinica di giovani che, nel percorso di formazione universitaria, si appassionino e si facciano domande su come migliorare le capacità di cura dei sintomi e di lenire la sofferenza.

Looking after children with life-limiting conditions is very difficult for both parents and health care professionals. This second edition of Paediatric Palliative Medicine is full of easily-accessible, detailed information , and covers all aspects of the care of children with life-limiting illnesses. It is designed to equip clinicians with the knowledge, and its evidence base, to improve clinical care. Using the bestselling Oxford Specialist Handbook format to deliver practical and concise information, this handbook facilitates bedside delivery of effective palliative medicine to children. It includes a quick reference drug formulary and detailed information on medical conditions and symptom control. There are also specific management plans to guide professionals, whether the child is in their own home, in a hospital, or a hospice. Many children with long term conditions have symptoms which need management, and the principles of palliative care for children need to be known by all who are involved in their care. The unique significance of this handbook is its capacity to guide professionals who have not trained or had experience of caring for the dying child, as well as for students and trainees interested in paediatric palliative care. Children's palliative medicine encompasses symptom control but is not limited to it. This handbook also provides a wealth of information on the philosophy and models that support delivery of palliative medicine to children, as well as the learning and coping skills required in palliative care. Fully updated with an expanded formulary and a new chapter on the intensive care unit, this new edition continues to be the authoritative reference tool in paediatric palliative care.

Gli autori, a partire dalle evidenze, integrate con l'esperienza, hanno illustrato la metodologia di valutazione dei bisogni, gli strumenti per affrontare in maniera olistica i bisogni fisici, sociali, spirituali e psicologici del malato e della famiglia. Sono state delineate competenze di base e avanzate per orientare il lettore/studioso nel proprio percorso di apprendimento e nel fronteggiare la complessità di queste situazioni assistenziali ineluttabili. Ogni capitolo è organizzato in modo da facilitare la lettura e rendere il testo fruibile a diversi livelli: box a colori mettono in evidenza gli obiettivi di apprendimento e i concetti principali e invitano a una elaborazione personale dei contenuti. Casi clinici proposti sotto forma di storie concludono le sezioni come spunti di approfondimento.
