The Science Behind Delivery Room Resuscitation, An Issue of Perinatology Clinics

The issue is important because it will be an evidenced based review of the current state of practice of neonatal resuscitation. The chapters will include issues related to the use of room air versus 100% Oxygen, initial strategies to ventilate the preterm and term infant, devises to ventilate the depressed infant, the role of CPAP during resuscitation, the importance of temperature management in both the preterm infant (avoidance of hypothermia) and the term infant (avoidance of hyperthermia), the role of CO2 detectors to confirm endotracheal tube positioning, the potential role of induced hypothermia as well as glucose to prevent ongoing brain injury in high risk infants, the ethics involved in initiation and discontinuation of resuscitation, the role of medications(epinephrine, naloxone, sodium bicarbonate and volume) during resuscitation including the route of administration (endotracheal and interosseous), suctioning of infant delivered in the presence of resuscitation and resuscitation where resources are limited.

Neurophysiology in Neurosurgery: A Modern Intraoperative Approach

Through real-time assessments of how the patient's nervous system is functioning throughout a surgical procedure, Neurophysiology in Neurosurgery presents vital techniques to guide surgeons in their efforts to minimize the risks of unintentional damage to healthy nervous tissue. This book provides a comprehensive overview of the most up-to-date intraoperative neurophysiological techniques and guidelines for the managment of neuroanesthesia during MEP monitoring. Neurophysiology in Neurosurgery is a valuable educational tool that describes the theoretical and practical aspects of intraoperative monitoring through example.Neurophysiology in Neurosurgery is a valuable educational tool that describes the theoretical and practical aspects of intraoperative monitoring through example.

Evoked Spinal Cord Potentials: An illustrated Guide to Physiology, Pharmocology, and Recording Techniques

Techniques using evoked spinal cord potentials (SCPs) have become important clinical tools for monitoring spinal cord surgery and diagnosing spinal cord diseases. This book surveys the neurophysiological and neuropharmacological bases of evoked SCPs with reference to animal studies and to recording those potentials mainly from the spinal epidural space. Generous use of illustrations promotes understanding of the neurophysiological and neuropharmacological backgrounds of monitoring spinal cord functions, and case studies provide additional insight into the monitoring and diagnosis of spinal cord dysfunction and disease. The book is especially useful for students and those new to the fields of clinical neurophysiology, neurosurgery, neurology, orthopedics, and neuroanesthesia. No other text sets forth the terminology of the components of evoked SCPs as clearly as this volume does with its careful use of lucid explanations and illustrations.

Neurologic Clinics (Perioperative Management and Preoperative Assessment of Neurologic Diseases, Volume 22 Number 2)

Frequently, the practicing neurologist is called to evaluate and render an expert opinion on challenging aspects during the peri- and postoperative care of patients with neurologic diseases. How should a patient who has Parkinson’s disease betreated during the perioperative period? Can anticoagulation be used for theprevention of deep vein thrombosis after a neurosurgical procedure or an intracerebral catastrophe? How should patients with neuromuscular diseases be assessed and managed perioperatively? What is the neurologist to do when confronted with the problem of the ‘‘difficult to extubate’’ patient? How should the neurologist assess and treat the acute confusional state in the postoperative neurologic patient? What should the neurologist know about the pulmonary evaluation of the neurologic patient? What abnormal involuntary movements may occur in the postoperative and intensive care setting and how should they be treated?
What ethical issues may confront the neurologist in treating patients with
major neurologic illnesses? These are some of the questions we can answer with this issue of the Neurologic Clinics. formulated the topic of perioperative neurology in hopes of encompassing both the presurgical assessment and perioperative care of the neurologic patient.
