Nutrition is no longer a soft science,as the literature is exploding with prospective randomized trials that serve to guide clinical practice. When a critically ill patient is admitted to the intensive care unit, rapid placement of a feeding tube and initiation of early enteral feeding is one of the more important therapeutic strategies capable of actually changing clinical outcome. A key role is emerging for the nutrition support endoscopist, a physician with the skills to achieve enteral access, to determine the appropriate tube and level of infusion of formula within the gastrointestinal tract, and to monitor tolerance in patients prone to ileus and pulmonary aspiration. This issue illustrates how endoscopy has revolutionized the delivery of enteral nutrition to widely disparate patient populations: establishing the means by which such nutrition support is provided while promoting safety measures to protect against potential complications.

Focuses on practical diagnostic and therapeutic endoscopy in children. This book contains pediatric endoscopic images and a practical guide to the performance of pediatric gastrointestinal endoscopy. It integrates clinical gastrointestinal endoscopy with pathology.

Completely new book on an innovative new approach to assessment and treatment of swallowing disorders Caters for the increasing team approach in swallowing of laryngologist, gastroenterologist, pulmonologist and speech pathologist Profusely illustrated with and black and white photos Features practical coverage of the use of instrumentation as well as case examples Authors are extremely well-known and are traveling the world with courses demonstrating this new technique FEESST enables Otolaryngologists, gastroenterologists, and pulmonologists to raise the level of care for their patients with swallowing problems. This is an essential text for all physicians, clinicians and speech pathologists that treat swallowing disorders. For the first time this new examination allows direct assessment of both the motor and sensory aspects of the swallow, enabling physicians to precisely guide the dietary and behavioral management of patients to decrease the risk of aspiration pneumonia. The authors provide readers with a science behind the instrumentation, the protocols for its use, and detailed case studies demonstrating its value in evaluating and managing diverse groups including: Patients with a history of reflux; Recent stroke patients experiencing difficulty swallowing, throat clearing, or choking during meals; Patients with a difficulty related to an underlying diagnosis of Parkinson's Disease; cerebral palsy, multiple sclerosis, ALS, or dementia; Patients with a history of upper respiratory infections, unexplained fevers, aspiration pneumonia, or asthma; Patients who complain about trouble swallowing liquid, food, or medications; Patients receiving nutrition via G-tube or NGT who are candidates for improved function and ability to tolerate oral feedings; Patients with a Tracheotomy.

This important, full-color atlas, written by pioneers in the field, provides complete, superbly illustrated coverage of both new and established techniques in GI endoscopy-now fully updated with the newest interventional procedures. The book uses more than 500 high-definition watercolors derived from operative photographs which simulate the physician's cognitive visual experience while performing the procedures, and thus recreating both the look and "feel" of actual surgery. The accompanying text leads you step-by-step through each operation, and highlights both special tips and potential pitfalls. Thorough and usefully illustrated, this unique book will prove indispensable for all gastroenterologists and endoscopic surgeons. New topics include: -Endoscopy mucosal en bloc resection for early gastrointestinal cancers -Self-expandable metallic enteral stents -Self-expandable metallic stents for Klatskin tumor -Treatment of intraabdominal abscesses

While technological advances have made endoscopy one of the most common procedures for examining the upper GI tract, learning how to maneuver the instruments and interpret the images can be frustrating for those without experience. Designed specifically for those in training, Endoscopy of the Upper GI Tract -- with over 770 illustrations and a user-friendly format -- is the most comprehensive, instructional guide available. Beginning with a detailed introduction to all aspects of the endoscopic examination, this lavishly illustrated guide features: -Clear descriptions and images of all of the instruments, including how and when to use them -Artfully combined photographs and 3D illustrations showing the exact location of the endoscope in relation to the anatomy of the immediate region -Step-by-step instructions for handling the endoscope, such as insertion, air insufflation, and irrigation -Useful checklists and tables that lay out the procedures from beginning to end, including preparations, necessary medication and anesthesia, required staff and supplemental equipment, and potential risks and complications The book also encompasses a complete full-color atlas that illustrates the entire spectrum of both normal and pathological findings. In addition to detailed explanations of each finding, the authors provide -The endoscopic criteria and the most important differential diagnoses for each disorder -Series of images showing common variants, as well as comparison photographs of differential diagnoses -Useful guidelines for proper documentation This guide is essential for anyone wishing to master the subtleties of this most rewarding technique.

Completely revised and updated, this one-volume clinical reference text addresses the physiology and pathology of the endoscopic practice. It also emphasises the endoscopic as a diagnostic and therapeutic tool.
