Pocket Guide Pain Management

"This concise book provides clear, evidence-based treatment guidelines for common painful conditions in a practical format. … Physicians and nurses who care for patients in pain, either in the hospital or clinic setting, are the intended audience. The book also would be helpful for medical students and residents working in a pain rotation as part of their training. … Of the pain books that claim to be handy, none is as handy, simple, and useful as this one." (Tariq M. Malik, Doody’s Review Service, February, 2009)
The increasing call for quality management and improvement can only be met by the introduction of standard operating procedures (SOPs) which ensure continuity and consistent quality in patient care. The purpose of the book is to review the practice of pain therapy in a very concise form. Based on the longstanding experience of the authors and editors, specific, proven guidelines have been developed on how to proceed in a variety of clinical situations. All relevant procedures are described in a short and clear manner so that the user will know specifically what to do in certain clinical circumstances.

Numerous studies have shown that the implementation of SOPs in the various participating departments can optimize processes and lead to shorter hospital stays. In this way, standards can become a significant factor in boosting efficiency and reducing costs.

Evidence-Based Practice of Anesthesiology, 1st edition

Evidence-Based Practice of Anesthesiology, by Lee A. Fleisher, MD, summarizes the best available evidence concerning the most common clinical questions that anesthesiologists face every day, so you will have an informed basis for making effective patient management decisions. This new edition covers 24 new topics and explores a full range of important issues in perioperative management?discussing the clinical options, examining the relevant research, and presenting expert recommendations. It features the latest information on clinical situations and reviews all clinical options based on the most recent clinical trials, providing a valuable framework for translating evidence into practice.
Most chapters pose a question: ‘What drugs decrease postoperative bleeding?’; ‘Should additives be used for peripheral nerve blocks?’ The chapters are grouped as preoperative preparation, perioperative management, regional anaesthesia, monitoring, and then some sub-specialty groupings. The pattern of each chapter is introduction, options, evidence, uncertainties, controversies, guidelines (which are, when they exist, published guidelines of American societies), and a box giving the nitty-gritty: the author's recommendations. It is not a book for reading, but a book for consulting when the question arises—which these questions do, commonly.

"The book by Fleisher is balanced, informative, and useful to clinicians who need to make decisions. [It] provides clear recommendations, which are informed by evidence and experience, to caregivers." -Anesthesiology, July 2005
