Medicina d'urgenza

La Medicina di laboratorio ha compiuto un continuo, impressionante progresso negli ultimi anni. Un ambito, nel quale i miglioramenti, qualitativi e quantitativi, si sono particolarmente sviluppati, riguarda l’emergenza-urgenza. Attualmente, entro un’ora dall’arrivo di un paziente in un Dipartimento di emergenza, si possono avere a disposizione i risultati di molte indagini di laboratorio, spesso decisivi per la diagnosi e la terapia del paziente. In questa seconda edizione, ampliata ed aggiornata, del testo, basato sulla pluriannuale esperienza di medici e biologi nell’ambito dell’urgenza-emergenza e in campi specialistici, vengono chiaramente esposte le metodiche per la determinazione delle concentrazioni delle componenti proteiche, glicidiche, lipidiche del sangue e dei liquidi biologici, lo studio del sistema emostatico in condizioni potenzialmente emorragiche o trombotiche, il controllo dei relativi farmaci ad attività anticoagulante o trombolitica, le prove di funzionalità renale ed epatica, lo studio dell’equilibrio acido-base e del bilancio idroelettrolitico, la valutazione dell’idoneità di un donatore d’organo. Specifici ed originali capitoli sono stati dedicati alle emergenze che si sviluppano in campi specialistici, come l’endocrinologia, l’oncologia, l’infettivologia, l’immunoematologia, l’immunoreumatologica, capitoli tutti scritti da specialisti di vasta esperienza nel singolo settore. Infine, nell’ambito della tossicologia clinica, un capitolo è dedicato alla rapida e legalmente corretta ricerca dell’eventuale presenza di droghe d’abuso e al dosaggio ematico di farmaci, potenzialmente tossici. Pertanto, il testo risulta particolarmente utile per gli studenti e gli specializzandi della Facoltà di Medicina e Chirurgia, nonché per i medici che desiderano aggiornarsi in un campo così decisivo per la diagnosi della maggioranza delle patologie.
