      Airway management is the medical process of ensuring there is an open pathway between a patient’s lungs and the outside world, as well as reducing the risk of aspiration. Airway management is a primary consideration in cardiopulmonary resuscitation, anesthesia, emergency medicine, intensive care medicine and first aid. Difficult airway (defined as more than three attempts, or taking longer than 10 minutes) is the major factor in anesthesia morbidity.

      Les progrès en arthroscopie ont été fulgurants ces dernières années, en particulier en arthroscopie d'épaule, de hanche, du poignet et de cheville. Ainsi, de nombreuses pathologies ont été totalement revisitées par l'apport de cette technique. Aucune articulation et peu d'espaces de glissement résistent encore à l'arthroscope, ce qui permet de remplacer les gestes conventionnels par des chirurgies moins agressives. Les douleurs postopératoires sont réduites, facilitant une prise en charge en ambulatoire et le retour rapide à domicile. Cet ouvrage, constitué de 135 chapitres issus de la collaboration et de l'expérience de plus de 240 auteurs de la Société Française d'Arthroscopie, présente un recueil complet et illustré des pathologies à prise en charge arthroscopique avec, pour chacune, la description de la physiopathologie, du diagnostic, du traitement, des indications et des résultats. Tous les domaines d'application de l'arthroscopie sont abordés, en insistant sur les techniques de base, la réalisation des noeuds, l'utilisation des ancres. Sont ensuite décrites les prises en charge des pathologies synoviales et cartilagineuses. Toutes les pathologies articulaires sont passées en revue, qu'elles concernent l'épaule, le coude, le poignet, la main, la hanche, le genou, la cheville ou le pied. Une incursion est par ailleurs faite autour du rachis. L'arthroscopie ayant toujours eu un rôle de pionnier, les domaines innovants et les techniques audacieuses mais déjà reconnues sont également traités. Ce livre, par son approche didactique et très illustrée (près de 1 700 figures, dont plus de 250 dessins originaux), constitue à la fois une référence unique pour les chirurgiens orthopédistes arthroscopistes confirmés désireux de retrouver ou d'approfondir toutes les techniques existantes et un guide indispensable pour les chirurgiens en formation.
