This book provides an easy-to-read introduction to this important topic that will be of value to a wide spectrum of healthcare professionals including anaesthetists, intensivists, ODPs, theatre and recovery nurses. Concise but comprehensive chapters from experts in the field cover everything from basic anatomy, physiology and applied physics, through the various methods of maintaining the airway under anaesthesia (supraglottic devices, tracheal intubation, tubes/cuffs, endobronchial and double-lumen tubes) to the problem airway (obstruction by infection, tumour or a foreign body, ENT and maxillo-facial surgery, aspiration, obstetrics, trauma, cervical spine disease, intensive care, the 'lost' airway, extubation and recovery), the paediatric airway, disinfection and cleaning of equipment and finally morbidity, mortality and medico-legal issues. 'Real' clinical scenarios, with patient management questions and model answers, are included throughout, to bring to life some of the key problems encountered in day-to-day practice and enhance the book's utility as a teaching and self-learning tool.Book details:Author:Ian Calder (Editor), Adrian Pearce (Editor)Publisher: Cambridge University PressPages:226Size:14,00 MBFormat:PDFDownload

Vital Signs and Resuscitation
Vital signs are an essential part of the physical examination of almost every
patient (some crusty practitioners would say every patient). An important responsibility of the health professional is to take them accurately. A second, and
frequently neglected, one is to promptly notify someone when an abnormality
exists, such as the elderly male who presents with severe chest and back pain
and high systolic and diastolic pressures (possibly having an aortic dissection),
or the elderly person presenting with abdominal pain and hypotension (possibly
having a ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm).
This book is written for anyone taking vital signs: doctor, resident, intern,
medical student, nurse, practical nurse, nursing assistant, home health practitioner, emergency medical technician (EMT), as well as medical office and nursing home personnel, the fire fighter and in some cases the dental and x-ray technician.Book details:Author:Joseph V.

Analgesia is now recognized as a significant contributor toclinical outcomes The goal for pain management is to providethe best analgesia with the least amount of side effects. Epidural analgesia is a desirable method of pain relief because it provides truesegmental analgesia with little or no contribution from systemic levels of opioids All of which may lead to excellentanalgesia with minimal side effects .Caring for patients who receive epidural analgesia requires specialized knowledge regarding the placement of the epidural catheter, management of the therapy, and monitoring for potential side effects/complications ,This self-directed learning
module is essential information for the nurse clinician who cares
for patients receiving epidural analgesia.Book details:Author:Susan L. Schroeder, RN, MS ,Clinical Nurse SpecialistPublisher:Department of Nursing Resources and DevelopmentPages:41Size:633 KBFormat:PDFDownload
