Infection Control in the Intensive Care Unit
Antonino Gullo
,
Hendrick K. F. Van Saene
e altri
editore: Springer Verlag
pagine: 530
Intensive care is a rapidly changing area of medicine, and after four years from the 2nd edition the volume editors and authors have deemed necessary to update it. In the recent years, in fact, five new randomised controlled trials and five new meta-analyses demonstrate that selective decontamination of the digestive tract [SDD] is an antimicrobial prophylaxis to prevent severe infections of not only lower airways but also of blood. Additionally, SDD has been shown to reduce inflammation including multiple organ failure and mortality. An intriguing observation is the evidence that SDD using parenteral and enteral antimicrobials reduces rather than increases antimicrobial resistance. Moreover, a new chapter on microcirculation had been added. The volume will be an invaluable tool for all those requiring in depth knowledge in the ever expanding field of infection control.
Challenging and Emerging Conditions in Emergency Medicine
Arvind Venkat
editore: Wiley-Blackwell (an imprint of John Wiley & Sons Ltd)
pagine: 376
With growing numbers of chronically ill patients surviving longer and receiving novel medical and surgical treatments, emergency departments are increasingly the venue for associated acute presentations. How can emergency physicians respond to these challenging and emerging conditions? This book focuses on the unusual and complex disease presentations not covered in detail in the standard textbooks, helping you manage patients with conditions such as congenital heart disease, cystic fibrosis, morbid obesity, intellectual disability and intestinal failure. Not only does this book provide guidance on evaluation and diagnosis, but it also addresses the practical issues of acute management and continuing referral. The individual chapters are written by high profile emergency physicians, in conjunction with appropriate specialists, and include authoritative evidence to back up the clinical information.
Occupational Emergency Medicine
Michael Greenberg
editore: Wiley-Blackwell (an imprint of John Wiley & Sons Ltd)
pagine: 288
With a large proportion of emergency admissions due to occupational health problems, the effect this can have on your practice cannot be ignored. Owing to the shortage of occupational physicians and limited worker access to health care, the diagnosis and treatment of occupational diseases rely increasingly on the emergency physician. Apart from extra paperwork, owing to the extra legal and administrative regulations, a lack of knowledge of occupational medicine can risk a missed diagnosis. This burden of work means occupational disorders impact the whole of the emergency department. Michael Greenberg addresses your questions and concerns about the management of these patients: * from triage to discharge, and beyond * for all work-place injuries or disorders, whether office-based, agricultural or industrial * and their employment regulations Occupational Emergency Medicine is an essential reference for emergency physicians and trainees, featuring comprehensive information on legal issues involving the physician, and advice on managing occupational health admissions.
Manuale del soccorso sanitario
Edoardo Ghirardi
editore: McGraw-Hill Education
pagine: 464
Il volume intende illustrare in modo esaustivo le tecniche di soccorso sanitario in ambito dell'emergenza territoriale. Il testo, articolato in diversi capitoli dedicati, affronta infatti l'ampio ventaglio di possibilità dei diversi scenari davanti ai quali si possono trovare i soccorritori e risulta completo perché approfondisce sia i temi del soccorso sanitario in generale sia quelli del soccorso specifico per determinate situazioni complesse che richiedono l'applicazione di particolari interventi. Tale amplissima varietà descrive pienamente la realtà dell'emergenza sanitaria in cui si lavora, che richiede un continuo aggiornamento delle conoscenze acquisite e che rende sempre intesa l'esperienza del soccorso quale veicolo per diffondere una cosiddetta cultura dell'emergenza. Il manuale è utile per la formazione di tutti gli operatori e i volontari che intendono affrontare il primo soccorso, senza tralasciare di descrivere le diverse situazioni in ambito di soccorso avanzato in cui potrebbero trovarsi a collaborare con professionisti sanitari di vari livelli.

Clinical Emergency Medicine Casebook
Gus M. Garmel , Joel T. Levis
editore: Cambridge
pagine: 506
Emergency Medicine is not divided into specific areas of practice. Emergency room visitors come in all shapes and sizes, at any time of day or night, with a wide range of maladies. Emergency physicians need to become experts in diverse areas of medicine and to be able to make quick and informed decisions about patient care. A cornerstone of emergency medicine training is the constant drilling and re-drilling of simulated cases and clinical scenarios. This book offers a unique yet underutilized strategy for learning: a case-based approach from real patients and actual events. Each case provides the opportunity for learning essential clinical concepts. Focused exclusively on the needs of in-training emergency physicians and nurses, the book covers more than 100 common and unusual cases in emergency medicine. The procedures have been class-tested by the Stanford/Kaiser Emergency Medicine Residency Program.

Medicina d'emergenza
Pasquale Monda
editore: Minerva Medica
pagine: 1014
L'esigenza di fornire rapidità decisionale unita a quella di individuare le pratiche più idonee e le terapie eseguibili come primo e pronto intervento rappresentano la struttura di base e l'orientamento organizzativo del presente volume. La prima parte di ogni capitolo è dedicata all'inquadramento generale della specifica condizione clinica. Ad essa segue una seconda parte che riporta le principali nozioni inerenti l'eziologia e spiega la composizione della sintomatologia clinica. Nella terza parte, infine, si illustrano le essenziali misure necessarie per avviare un proficuo intervento di primo soccorso terapeutico. Il volume fornisce un rapido promemoria culturale per tutte quelle essenzialità esplicative inerenti gli aspetti distintivi di ogni singolo quadro clinico di patologia ascrivibile all'emergenza medica. Nella stesura delle indicazioni si suggeriscono quei pochi essenziali strumenti che consentono di assicurare un modello di prime cure che sono facili da praticare e al contempo rispondenti ai criteri di maggior sicurezza possibile, demandando l'intervento specialistico nei reparti dipartimentali o di pronto soccorso nosocomiali il compito di approfondire e proseguire l'intervento terapeutico. Allo scopo di agevolarne la consultazione, gli argomenti sono stati raggruppati per specialità riguardanti i singoli organi od apparati.

Manuale di medicina d'emergenza
editore: McGraw-Hill Education
pagine: 1173
La seconda edizione del Manuale di medicina d'emergenza, completamente rinnovata nella grafica di copertina e degli interni, offre una nuova, ampliata e approfondita trattazione della fase preospedaliera delle emergenze. Una impostazione che esce dagli schemi tradizionali dell'inquadramento nosografico e passa invece attraverso i criteri di definizione di gravità e di approccio sintomatico, con capitoli snelli aperti da un caso clinico, seguito da un breve riepilogo della fisiopatologia e dall'indicazione della flow chart diagnostico-terapeutica per facilitare l'apprendimento e appassionare il lettore nuovi argomenti, come la diagnostica ecografica e di laboratorio in emergenza, la sepsi e lo shock settico, le infezioni nosocomiali e la malaria. Inoltre grande attenzione è confermata verso problematiche spesso misconosciute o sottovalutate come l'aspetto psicologico, la comunicazione del lutto, le complicanze medico-legali, l'organizzazione dell'emergenza extraospedaliera in condizioni ordinarie e straordinarie.

In the unique vignette format of the Pearls Series, this book presents a variety of problems that challenge emergency physicians and toxicologists in everyday practice. For each patient, the author presents the case scenario, physical findings, lab data, and a clinical photo, and the reader is challenged to formulate a diagnosis and a treatment strategy. The next page reveals the diagnosis, discusses the condition, and leaves the reader with several "pearls of wisdom" distilled from the case.
