Rianimazione

Negli ultimi mesi, il panorama mondiale delle conoscenze e delle esperienze nel campo dell’anestesia e della rianimazione ha subito un’accelerazione mai registrata prima.Per questo, la nuova edizione del MAPAR è aggiornata sia nei contenuti (con nuove quick reference, nuove immagini, tabelle, strategie, ecc.), che nella possibilità di fruizione. Gentili Colleghi,Ecco a Voi la 15ª edizione dei Protocolli del MAPAR.Sarà possibile acquistarla in versione cartacea e/o digitale, secondo le Vostre preferenze e abitudini di lavoro.Questo prodotto è il risultato di enormi sforzi di aggiornamento, operati da tutta l’équipe del Dipartimento di Anestesia di Bicêtre e da alcuni esperti esterni.La riedizione, di una nuova versione, è giustificata dalla rapida evoluzione delle conoscenze mediche, la cui “emivita” è stimata, oggi, a meno di tre anni. Ecco perché sono stati introdotti numerosi cambiamenti, alcuni nei dettagli, altre volte completi, in quanto le strategie, o le pratiche, sono totalmente nuove o hanno subito solo minime variazioni, rispetto a quanto indicato tre anni fa. Per Voi, lettori e lettrici, è legittimo disporre di questa nuova edizione, perché i cambiamenti degli ultimi anni possono aver reso obsolete alcune raccomandazioni presenti nella versione precedente.Speriamo che questa nuova edizione soddisfi le Vostre attese. Fate Vostro questo manuale!Utilizzatelo tutti i giorni, senza limiti. Buona lettura.Prof. Dan BenhamouA nome di tutta l’équipe degli AutoriPresidente del MAPAR

Saving lives through organ transplantation has become increasingly possible thanks to advances in research and care. Today, the complex field of transplantation continues to develop rapidly, fuelled by demographic change and further evolutions in scientific understanding. The Oxford Textbook of Transplant Anaesthesia and Critical Care has been written and edited by pioneers in the field of organ transplantation with an international team of authors, in order to equip anaesthetists and intensivists with the knowledge and training necessary to provide high quality and evidence-based care. The text addresses fundamentals aspects of scientific knowledge, care of the donor patient, transplant ethics and special considerations. Dedicated sections address each of the major organs; kidney, pancreas, liver, heart and lung, intestinal and multivisceral. Within each organ-based section, expert authors explore underlying disease, planning for transplantation, specialized procedures, perioperative and critical care management as well as post-transplant considerations. Focus points for future developments in transplant immunology are also set out, inspiring current practitioners to engage with current clinical research and help participate in the further advancement of the science of transplantation. The print edition of the Oxford Textbook of Transplant Anaesthesia and Critical Care comes with a year's access to the online version on Oxford Medicine Online. By activating your unique access code, you can read and annotate the full text online, follow links from the references to primary research materials, and view, enlarge and download all the figures and tables.

Are you frustrated by the lack of lack of quality, up-to-date revision material for the Primary FRCA OSCE examination? The answer is here. Primary FRCA: OSCEs in Anaesthesia provides candidates with over 80 practice OSCE stations presented in the style of the Royal College exam. Covering the main OCSE categories such as physical examination, resuscitation and simulation, anaesthetic hazards, and equipment, this book will help candidates prepare for the exam and test their knowledge. Each station is constructed in clear and logical fashion to make the revision of individual topics more accessible. The sample questions and answers allow self-testing and are complemented by discussions, numerous illustrations and up-to-date clinical guidelines which follow modern-day anaesthetic practice. With more candidates now failing the OSCE component of the exam, Primary FRCA: OSCEs in Anaesthesia is a must-have for trainees and tutors preparing for the primary FRCA.

La ventilazione meccanica non invasiva è una metodica cha ha avuto enorme successo negli ultimi venti anni. Il medico dell'urgenza, per la sua naturale collocazione, è per primo chiamato a conoscerla e applicarla dal momento che può risultare anche "salva vita". Questo manuale propone uno studio accurato circa gli aspetti di fisiopatologia, che sono alla base dell'evento acuto, per permettere un intervento terapeutico caratterizzato sempre dalla "filosofia della minore invasività possibile". I contenuti sono trattati nel modo più semplice possibile, per essere compresi agevolmente anche da parte del "non specialista", quale spesso è il medico d'urgenza. È inoltre uno strumento aggiornato e ricco di immagini, a supporto dei corsi formativi che il gruppo "NIV - SIMEU" svolge sul territorio nazionale.

The importance of early prevention and treatment of sepsis has never been greater. In the UK alone sepsis contributes to more deaths than lung cancer, from bowel cancer and breast cancer combined, and approximately one third of patients who suffer from severe sepsis die. The ABC of Sepsis provides a much needed introduction and an invaluable aid in the increasing efforts to reduce hospital infection and improve patient safety. As growing numbers of junior medical staff experience emergency medicine, critical care and acute medicine as part of the Foundation Programme, there is an increasing need to develop the skills required to treat severe sepsis. The editors are involved with the Survive Sepsis campaign - developed to improve the recognition, diagnosis and treatment of sepsis - and are perfectly placed to guide junior medics, GPs, specialist nurses, critical care nurses and primary care staff through this core aspect of acute medicine.

The care of the critically ill or injured child begins with timely, prompt, and aggressive res- citation and stabilization. Ideally, stabilization should occur before the onset of organ failure in order to achieve the best possible outcomes. In the following pages, an international panel of experts provides an in-depth discussion of the early recognition, resuscitation, and stabilization of the critically ill or injured child. Once again, we would like to dedicate this textbook to our families and to the physicians and nurses who provide steadfast care every day in pediatric intensive care units across the globe. Derek S. Wheeler Hector R. Wong Thomas P. Shanley V Preface to Pediatric Critical Care Medicine: Basic Science and Clinical Evidence The ? eld of critical care medicine is growing at a tremendous pace, and tremendous advances in the understanding of critical illness have been realized in the last decade. My family has directly bene? ted from some of the technological and scienti? c advances made in the care of critically ill children. My son Ryan was born during my third year of medical school. By some peculiar happenstance, I was nearing completion of a 4-week rotation in the newborn intensive care unit (NICU). The head of the pediatrics clerkship was kind enough to let me have a few days off around the time of the delivery-my wife, Cathy, was 2 weeks past her due date and had been scheduled for elective induction.
