    ECG fácil, reconocido como un «clásico de la Medicina» por el British Medical Journal, ha cumplido 50 años. Se ha consolidado como uno de los favoritos entre los estudiantes de Medicina, las enfermeras y los paramédicos, ya que proporciona información clara y accesible sobre todos los aspectos del uso del ECG en la práctica clínica. Dirigido a todos los profesionales sanitarios, tanto en formación como en ejercicio, es una lectura imprescindible para quienes utilizan ECG en su trabajo diario. Es una guía fácil de seguir, práctica e informativa sobre la realización, la interpretación y la notificación de ECG. Todos los ECG provienen de pacientes reales de la práctica clínica de los autores. La primera parte sintetiza los conocimientos esenciales, combinando un mínimo de teoría con un máximo de sentido práctico. La segunda parte explica la teoría en la que se basa el registro de un ECG, facilitando así la interpretación básica de las 12 derivaciones. La tercera parte se centra en la interpretación clínica de ECG en pacientes con síntomas como dolor torácico, disnea, palpitaciones y síncope, además de ofrecer una explicación de las variaciones normales en ECG de individuos sanos. Esta décima edición, completamente actualizada incluye novedades como la nueva sección sobre interpretación del ECG de una sola derivación, cada vez más frecuente en dispositivos inteligentes; y un nuevo diagrama de flujo para facilitar la interpretación y la elaboración de informes.

  • Heart Failure, An Issue of Critical Nursing Clinics

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 27-4

    Heart failure is the only cardiovascular disease that is increasing. The impact on the critical care environment and the health care system, as a whole, is significant from both a cost and burden to the system perspective. There are 6.5 million hospital days a year and nearly $40 billion dollars in yearly health care costs attributed to heart failure in the United States. There are more Medicare monies spent for diagnosing and treating heart failure than any other Diagnosis Related Group. There is a 24% hospital re-admission rate for this diagnosis which leads to financial implications for health care systems.The human cost is also significant. Less than half of Americans diagnosed with heart failure survive greater than 5 years. The ongoing health care needs and cost of this chronic disease takes a significant toll on patients’ finances, time and quality of life. Over $2.9 billion dollars is spent annually on the pharmaceutical management of heart failure in the United States. This diagnosis is the leading cause of hospitalization for patients who are 65 years of age and older. Few health care providers in the critical care environment are not affected by heart failure on a routine basis. Caring for these patients and their families is both a challenging and yet a rewarding experience. This edition will provide critical care nurses with a comprehensive heart failure review which is essential in caring for this challenging population given the dynamic health and critical care environments.

  • Respiratory Muscle Training

    Theory and Practice
    • 1st Edition

    • English
    Respiratory Muscle Training: theory and practice is the world’s first book which provides an "everything-you-need... guide to respiratory muscle training (RMT). Authored by an internationally-accl... leading expert, it is an evidence-based resource, built upon current scientific knowledge, as well as clinical experience at the cutting-edge of respiratory training in a wide range of settings. The aim of the book is to give readers: 1) an introduction to respiratory physiology and exercise physiology, as well as training theory; 2) an understanding of how disease affects the respiratory muscles and the mechanics of breathing; 3) an insight into the disease-specific, evidence-based benefits of RMT; 4) advice on the application of RMT as a standalone treatment, and as part of a rehabilitation programme; and finally, 5) guidance on the application of functional training techniques to RMT. The book is divided into two parts – theory and practice. Part I provides readers with access to the theoretical building blocks that support practice. It explores the evidence base for RMT as well as the different methods of training respiratory muscles and their respective efficacy. Part II guides the reader through the practical implementation of the most widely validated form of RMT, namely inspiratory muscle resistance training. Finally, over 100 "Functional" IMT exercises are described, which incorporate a stability and/or postural challenge, including exercises that address specific "dyspnoeagenic" movements. Respiratory Muscle Training: theory and practice is supported by a dedicated website (www.physiobreathe.c... which provides access to the latest information on RMT, as well as video clips of all exercises described in the book. Purchasers will also receive a three-month free trial of the Physiotec software platform, which allows clinicians to create bespoke training programmes (including video clips) that can be printed or emailed to patients. "[More importantly] it provides an evidence base for the incorporation of respiratory muscle training for a variety of conditions."

    Praised by nursing students for its straightforward language and readability, this interdisciplinary reference on bedside hemodynamic monitoring covers the technical aspects of clinical monitoring, including diagnostic and management principles for fluid-filled systems, intracranial hemodynamics, open-heart surgery patients, pediatric patients, and more! Well illustrated chapters detail exactly how to insert and manipulate catheters safely, read monitors properly, and interpret readings accurately. Precise illustrations deliver crucial details on delicate techniques. Content on the strengths and shortcomings of various hemodynamic monitoring modalities has been expanded significantly in the third edition, and a new chapter on intra-aortic balloon pumping has been added.TOC.
