Introduction to Bronchoscopy
Armin Ernst
editore: Cambridge
pagine: 176
Bronchoscopy is one of the most commonly performed medical procedures and also defines the procedural practice of chest physicians and surgeons. In most training programs, however, there is little structured education and trainees learn by watching and doing. This book is intended as a roadmap for any physician looking to master or improve skills in this important area. It outlines what the authors, who are all experts in the field, think a standard approach to common procedures should be and covers everything from anatomy and equipment care to how to set up a bronchoscopy unit. Step- by-step descriptions and abundant illustrations provide the reader with detailed instructions for performing diagnostic procedures such as bronchial washing and lavage, lung biopsy, and transbronchial needle aspiration. This book also discusses bronchoscopy in the ICU and lung transplant patients. Advanced diagnostic bronchoscopy and basic therapeutic techniques are reviewed in the final two chapters.

Pneumo notes. Guida tascabile per il pneumologo
G. C. White
editore: Minerva Medica
pagine: 240
Le malattie dell'apparato respiratorio e le complicanze respiratorie in corso di patologie sistemiche o successive a intervento chirurgico sono sempre più rappresentate nelle nostre realtà ospedaliere e, sempre più frequentemente, il personale medico e infermieristico/asistenziale si trova a doversi confrontare con pazienti, siano essi neonati, adulti o anziani, con problematiche respiratorie. Come per tutte le patologie è fondamentale il ruolo dell'anamnesi per poter comprendere se si tratta di evento acuto o di patologia cronica, così come per potersi orientare sulle procedure diagnostiche di primo e di secondo livello da richiedere e sull'urgenza degli interventi terapeutici da attuare. "Pneumo Notes" è una guida di riferimento semplice e pratica di patologia respiratoria in quanto fornisce: strumenti di valutazione e di raccolta dati per le visite ai pazienti in corsia; tecniche di valutazione approfondita per esami radiografici, emodinamici, polmonari ed ECG; percorsi specifici per le varie procedure; guida alla terapia delle patologie polmonari; algoritmi di pratica clinica previsti dall'American Association for Respiratory Care; metodologie di intervento per gli arresti cardiaci. Pneumo Notes si presenta come uno strumento prezioso e di grande aiuto sia per i medici che per gli operatori delle professioni sanitarie proprio per il suo taglio pratico, per la rapida e semplice consultazione e per l'esaustività delle informazioni contenute.

Now subdivided into four practical sections, users can easily pick their desired topic, from the commonly used tests and their underlying physiological mechanisms to abnormalities of function in both respiratory and non-respiratory diseases. The book concludes with a helpful section on test interpretation, new to this edition. This eagerly awaited revision will quickly find a place on the bookshelves of all practitioners - clinicians and laboratory investigators - who have an interest in respiratory function.
From the reviews of the second edition: 'skillfull achieves lucid descriptions of complex physiological concepts ...a classsic within the pulmonary literature, providing a concise yet complete account of pulmonary physiology from a clinical perspective' British Journal of Hospital Medicine 'very useful...the book is authoritative, comprehensive, extensively referenced and - for a book on this topic - easy to read and understand' Thorax
