Ustioni e piaghe da decubito

Si tratta di un’opera pratica ed esplicativa che prende in considerazione non solo i vari quadri clinici e le loro implicazioni diagnostiche e terapeutiche, ma anche tutti gli aspetti relativi al paziente, alle sue condizioni e alle necessità che presenta.“Scrivere un libro di tipo scientifico sulle ferite difficili non è mai una cosa semplice per la complessità che si incontra nella descrizione delle svariate tipologie di lesioni cutanee e delle loro origini, spesso complicate da forme patologiche tra loro intrecciate, che talvolta si complicano ancor di più per l’attuazione di terapie non idonee. Questo volume ambisce a indirizzare il lettore allo studio delle varie patologie trattate e alle relative terapie più idonee da utilizzare, attraverso esempi pratici di casi clinici. La cura dei pazienti con patologie ulcerative cutanee e dei tessuti anche più profondi dipende molto dalla necessaria conoscenza anatomica e fisiopatologica del problema, così come dei protocolli terapeutici validati, da utilizzare in strutture idonee e con personale sanitario specializzato.”
