L'infirmier(e) en néphrologie

AFIDTN
French

L'utilisation de nouvelles techniques et thérapies fait sans cesse évoluer les traitements de l'insuffisance rénale, rendant nécessaire une actualisation régulière des soins infirmiers en dialyse, transplantation et néphrologie. La prise en charge de patients de plus en plus âgés et avec des pathologies associées, la durée de vie plus importante des patients dialysés ont également rendu plus complexes ces soins infirmiers. Ce guide de bonnes pratiques fournit toutes les informations indispensables sur les différentes pathologies de l'insuffisance rénale et leurs traitements dans l'optique d'une pratique quotidienne. Après un rappel historique et une présentation de l'état clinique et biologique de l'insuffisant rénal, il développe trois grands axes : - l'hémodialyse, - la dialyse péritonéale, - la transplantation. Cet ouvrage détaille ensuite les actes qui permettront à l'infirmier(e) un accompagnement optimal des patients selon leur profil : aspects diététiques, approche psychologique, sociale et économique, prise en charge en service de pédiatrie... Cette quatrième édition a été profondément actualisée tant du point de vue des protocoles de dialyse et des données cliniques sur le patient hémodialysé que des thérapeutiques d'immunosuppression, des dispositions légales entourant les greffes d'organe ou encore de la diététique du patient hémodialysé ou transplanté. Des auteurs reconnus, médecins, chirurgiens, biologistes, nutritionnistes, psychologues, pédiatres, se sont associés aux infirmier(e)s, dans le cadre de l'AFIDTN (Association Française des Infirmier(e)s de Dialyse, Transplantation et Néphrologie), pour faire de ce livre un ouvrage de référence.

This issue details the latest knowledge of early diagnosis, risk factors, limited surgical treatments, and novel therapies for pancreatic diseases. Clinicians will learn the most prognostic scoring systems for acute pancreatitis, review the basics for early management of the disease, and see how current practice guidelines have evolved. Advances in radiological imaging when applied to the pancreas have resulted in enhanced staging and improved selection for surgical intervention. Endoscopy of the pancreas via both ERCP and endoscopic ultrasound has led to unprecedented access and potential for non-operative intervention. Pancreatic surgery now takes advantage of both minimally invasive approaches and techniques learned from organ transplantation. These latest advances are addressed in this issue by key opinion leaders.
