For an anesthesiologist, though the challenge of managing an obstetric patient can be very satisfying and rewarding, it can also be extremely difficult given the potential for serious harm to the fetus and mother. For routine care, it is important to understand the risks and benefits of many practices to provide patients with informed decisions and the most satisfying experiences. There are also many less-usual patients and situations, however, that challenge the anesthesiologist’s skills significantly. This issue of the Anesthesiology Clinics presents the most up-to-date information on both of these categories, and is written by an outstanding group of experienced clinicians from all over the world. Topics including high-risk analysis, use of simulators for training, major hemorrhage, off-labor-floor consultation, depth of anesthesia monitoring, pharmaceuticals, use of vasopressors, neurological infections after neuroaxial anesthesia, airway management, the HIV patient, ultrasound, and others.

Le polytraumatisé

Le polytraumatisé est un blessé grave, victime de plusieurs lésions, dont une, au moins, met en jeu le pronostic vital du patient à brève échéance. Le décès survient en effet dans la moitié des cas sur le lieu même de l'accident, et dans les heures et les quelques jours qui suivent la prise en charge pour l'autre moitié. Touchant majoritairement une population jeune, ces polytraumatismes sont par ailleurs à l'origine de nombreuses séquelles fonctionnelles qui détériorent considérablement la qualité de vie des patients. Seules une prise en charge très rapide et multidisciplinaire et une bonne orientation permettront d'améliorer le pronostic. Abordant successivement les grands principes diagnostiques et thérapeutiques en fonction de la localisation des traumatismes, cet ouvrage présente les différents aspects de la prise en charge d'une victime souffrant de polytraumatisme. Son suivi au bloc opératoire, ainsi qu'en postopératoire, et les examens d'imagerie sont particulièrement détaillés, soulignant l'inderdisciplinarité de la prise en charge de ces patients. C'est pourquoi également l'accueil des polytraumatisés nécessite de plus en plus des structures spécialisées disposant d'un plateau technique très performant et complet, intégrant les équipes médico-chirurgicales.

Durant ces dernières années, l'utilisation de l'échocardiographie Doppler s'est généralisée en réanimation et en anesthésie, et ce pour de multiples raisons. – Le nombre de réanimateurs et d'anesthésistes-réanimateurs qui se sont formés à cette technique et le nombre de publications scientifiques qui s'y rapportent ont augmenté de manière exponentielle. – Le domaine de compétence spécifique aux réanimateurs et aux anesthésistes-réanimateurs s'est progressivement précisé et imposé de lui-même sur le terrain. – De nouveaux concepts tels que celui du stéthoscope ultrasonique et du monitorage fonctionnel de l'état hémodynamique des patients en état critique ont émergé et se sont affinés. – Les appareils d'échocardiographie toujours plus performants se sont miniaturisés, pour atteindre la taille et le poids d'un ordinateur portable. – Enfin et surtout, les mentalités ont évolué, aussi bien chez les cardiologues que chez les réanimateurs de toute origine. L'échocardiographie Doppler est désormais unanimement considérée comme un moyen d'évaluation incontournable des patients en état critique. Échocardiographie Doppler chez le patient en état critique : un outil de diagnostic et de monitorage fait le point sur l'état de l'art de cette technique en constante évolution. Son fil rouge est la défaillance d'organe. Son esprit est l'approche par syndromes, la concision et le caractère didactique fondé sur de nombreux exemples et la sélection de la littérature pertinente sur le sujet.
