  • Pain Management in the Postpartum Period, An Issue of Clinics in Perinatology

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 40-3
    • Randall P. Flick + 1 more
    • English
    This issue of Clinics in Perinatology will carry the reader through the perinatal period and examine pain management throughout that continuum. Beginning with the genetics of obstetrical pain and opioid use in pregnancy, the discussion moves to the provision of anesthesia to the mother and fetus during fetal surgery – an area of intense concern and interest in many centers. There is an extensive discussion of both pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic management of pain during delivery. A discussion of regional anesthetic techniques is increasingly relevant in light of increasing evidence of adverse neurodevelopmental consequences of fetal exposure to general anesthetics and sedatives. Pain, its implications and management, are extensively covered including discussions of how to assess neonatal pain and how best to provide sedation and non-pharmacologic pain management, systemic pharmacologic, or regional techniques. Of particular interest are the reviews of the potential neurodevelopmental impact of both the treatment and the failure to adequately treat pain in the newborn. This topic is receiving an enormous amount of attention from all those who care for children as well as government and the media.

  • Complications et séquelles des traitements en cancérologie ORL

    Rapport SFORL 2013
    • 1st Edition
    • Frédéric Chabolle
    • French
    Un cancer ORL fait appel à des thérapeutiques carcinologiques lourdes et non dénuées de complications dont la connaissance est indispensable pour tous les intervenants de la cancérologie ORL. Les traitements laissent des séquelles plus ou moins importantes qui, par leur multiplicité, obèrent la qualité de vie des patients et sont au premier plan de leurs doléances. Il peut s'agir de séquelles esthétiques dans une région anatomique ayant une charge relationnelle et sociétale majeure, avec des cicatrices multiples, des défects de tissus osseux, musculaire, cutané ou dentaire. Les séquelles fonctionnelles par déficit musculaire, nerveux, cutané altèrent la reprise d'activité professionnelle ou personnelle. Les séquelles sensorielles telles que les atteintes du goût ou de l'odorat perturbent largement la qualité de vie des patients. Enfin, les séquelles dans le domaine de la communication par atteinte de l'élocution, de l'audition ou du toucher sont source d'isolement encore plus important. Aux séquelles locorégionales peuvent s'ajouter des séquelles générales liées aux traitements oncologiques médicaux. Ce rapport est destiné à tous les acteurs de la prise en charge de la cancérologie ORL, dans un esprit de multidisciplinarité. Il liste les complications et séquelles, fait des propositions thérapeutiques et envisage des voies de prévention, afin que réhabilitation rime systématiquement avec traitement du cancer.
