  • Plans de soins types et chemins cliniques

    20 situations cliniques prévalentes

    Les plans de soins types, les chemins cliniques et les guides de séjour sont des référentiels de connaissances pour les soignants mais également pour les patients et leur famille. Il s'agit, pour des groupes homogènes de patients définis, au cœur d'une même situation de soins ou de dépendance, de formaliser une démarche clinique interdisciplinaire jalonnant précisément le parcours de prise en charge du patient. La fiabilité et la pertinence de ces outils dépendent des indicateurs qualité que les équipes se fixent pour évoluer dans le processus de construction, de gestion dans l'activité quotidienne, d'évaluation et de recherche. Après une première partie développant le processus d'évaluation mis en œuvre par les cadres de santé avec la collaboration des différents intervenants, étape essentielle pour mesurer le rapport qualité/efficience des soins, et les premiers résultats mettant en évidence la plus-value de cette méthode en termes de traçabilité des actes et de transparence de la gestion personnalisée des risques, l'ensemble du dispositif est exposé à travers la présentation de 20 situations cliniques construites par des équipes multidisciplinaires. Pour chaque prise en charge évoquée, la symptomatologie, les complications éventuelles et les réactions humaines physiques et psychologiques, sont fixées au sein d'une « photographie clinique » assortie d'un plan de soins type détaillant pour chacun de ces symptômes les actions à mettre en œuvre et leur évaluation, et d'un chemin clinique établissant le parcours chronologique de la prise en charge du patient. Ces travaux constituent une aide importante pour les équipes souhaitant développer de tels outils mais sont également des référentiels de savoir indispensables pour chaque étudiant en formation dans le domaine de la santé. La structure du tableau d'analyse du plan de soins type favorise à la fois le transfert de connaissances chez l'étudiant et le partage d'expériences.

  • Respiratory Muscle Training

    Theory and Practice
    • 1st Edition
    • Alison McConnell
    • 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."
