  • Certified Registered Nurse Anesthesia: Critical Care Nursing in the Operating Room, An Issue of Critical Care Nursing Clinics

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 27-1
    • Holly-May Robins
    • English
    APRNs are essential to deliver healthcare in today’s complex environment. Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists have met that challenge for over 150 years. Nurse Anesthetists have shifted from the intensive care unit as critical care nurses into the operating room arena. The operating room is an environment that is uniquely challenging. A critical care background is essential to meet these challenges, and all Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists share that experience. The topic; "Certified Registered Nurse Anesthesia: Critical Care Nursing in the Operating Room", highlights critical care nursing as it is applied in the operating room setting. Critical care nurses will appreciate the knowledge base that is essential for the anesthetist. As healthcare reform demands greater efficiency, more and more procedures are performed outside the operating room. The line between the Operating Room, ICU and Interventional Radiology will become less defined. Critical care nurses are, and will be more involved in patient care while an anesthetic is administered. It is the goal of this proposed monograph to share knowledge and experience so that ICU nurses will learn more about caring for the anesthetized patient.

  • La motilité en ostéopathie. Nouveau concept basé sur l'embryologie
    • 1st Edition
    • Alain Auberville + 1 more
    • French
    La motilité, associée à la présence de la vitalité dans les tissus du corps humain, est un concept de base en ostéopathie. Ce livre propose une définition simple et systématique de la motilité basée sur les déplacements de toutes les structures du corps pendant la période de l'embryogénèse. Ces mouvements initiaux, intrinsèques à l'énergie des tissus, répondent à l'essence de la définition de la motilité et, à ce titre, sont une composante essentielle du mouvement normal des tissus du corps. L'ostéopathe peut utiliser ces notions fondamentales dans ses interventions cliniques afin d'enrichir son arsenal thérapeutique et d'approfondir sa compréhension des fondements de l'ostéopathie et du fonctionnement de l'humain. Illustré de façon originale, ce livre présente un nouveau modèle de pratique qui a été conçu par Alain Auberville à la suite de 30 ans d'expérimentations et de transmission par l'enseignement. Mis en texte par Andrée Aubin, ce modèle a été relié aux concepts ostéopathiques classiques afin de faciliter son intégration dans la pratique clinique quotidienne.

  • Pathologies chroniques de la main et du poignet

    • Grégoire Chick + 1 more
    • French
    La chirurgie de la main et des nerfs périphériques est un domaine spécialisé de la chirurgie reconstructrice de l'appareil locomoteur, sans pour autant n'être qu'une affaire de spécialistes : tout médecin peut y être confronté que ce soit durant ou après sa formation. Cet ouvrage se veut un outil de consultation et de communication entre les uns et les autres. Ce volume est consacré au diagnostic et à la chirurgie des séquelles post-traumatiques, des maladies et des malformations de la main et du poignet. L'idée directrice est d'orienter au mieux le médecin de premier recours sur les possibilités thérapeutiques des pathologies fréquentes et celles moins courantes qu'il peut être initialement amené à prendre en charge. Un autre volume, complément indispensable, et consacré aux urgences, a pour objectif d'orienter l'interne ou le praticien non spécialiste face aux situations courantes rencontrées en urgence, qu'elles soient absolues, relatives ou différées. De la classification des lésions à leur traitement, les chapitres structurés et allant à l'essentiel sont illustrés d'exemples cliniques et de schémas pour une prise en charge rapide et efficace.

  • Prescrire les antipsychotiques

    Propriétés et modalités d’utilisation
    • 1st Edition
    • Nicolas FRANCK + 2 more
    • French
    Outil pharmacologique majeur en psychiatrie, les antipsychotiques permettent d'accroître le contrôle émotionnel, d'améliorer la modulation des perceptions et de la motivation, à travers une action sur le système dopaminergique. Toutefois, ces bénéfices thérapeutiques sont contrebalancés par de nombreux effets indésirables, parfois sévères. Mieux connaître leurs propriétés, leurs mécanismes d'action, leur efficacité et leurs limites dans différentes situations permet d'y avoir recours de manière appropriée, en limitant l'expression de leurs conséquences iatrogènes. Cet ouvrage, fondé sur les données scientifiques les plus récentes, offre un éclairage précieux sur les propriétés pharmacologiques et le maniement pratique des antipsychotiques. Après un état des lieux historique, les classifications des antipsychotiques, leurs modes d'action et leurs caractéristiques pharmacocinétiques sont détaillés. Les études d'efficacité et de tolérance dans les principales pathologies et les résultats des méta-analyses comparatives sont ensuite présentés, ainsi que la prise en charge des effets indésirables. Enfin, la dernière partie, résolument pratique, met en exergue les recommandations d'utilisation des antipsychotiques dans la schizophrénie et présente des exemples de prescription. Les ajustements nécessaires à un traitement optimal dans différentes situations cliniques sont proposés, tenant compte des mesures non médicamenteuses de la prise en charge.

  • Neurophysiologie clinique en psychiatrie

    Pratique diagnostique et thérapeutique
    • 1st Edition
    • Céline Balzani + 2 more
    • French
    La neurophysiologie clinique est une spécialité médicale qui étudie le système nerveux central et périphérique grâce à l'enregistrement des activités bioélectriques. Cet ouvrage propose une synthèse destinée à une pratique concrète de cette spécialité dans le champ psychiatrique. Après des rappels historiques, techniques et méthodologiques, l'ouvrage aborde les applications diagnostiques, avec les principaux examens que sont l'EEG, les potentiels évoqués cognitifs et la polysomnographie. Ceux-ci permettent notamment l'exploration des syndromes confusionnels, d'établir les diagnostics différentiels et/ou comorbides et l'évaluation des effets secondaires des traitements. Par la suite, l'ouvrage s'intéresse aux applications thérapeutiques impliquant les processus neurophysiologiques : l'électroconvulsivot... la stimulation magnétique transcrânienne répétée et le neurofeedback. La dernière partie propose une réflexion épistémologique et phénoménologique conduisant ainsi à une visée éthique de la pratique de la neurophysiologie en psychiatrie.

  • Bientraitance et qualité de vie - T.2

    • French
    Dans le droit fil du tome 1 Prévenir les maltraitances pour des soins et une relation d'aide humanistes, couronné par le prix Référence Santé 2014 de l'Académie Nationale de Médecine , ce deuxième tome poursuit la réflexion, multipliant les exemples, les expériences, dans des domaines aussi variés que l'assistance médicale à la procréation, la médecine légale, les dons d'organes et de tissus, la psychiatrie, l'interruption volontaire de grossesse, l'e-médecine, la formation, les urgences, ou encore les violences faites aux femmes. Une place particulière est réservée à l'accompagnement des aînés, à la fin de vie, à la mort et à ses rituels. Autant de sujets au cœur de la problématique de la bientraitance.De nombreux témoignages de personnes soignantes, de personnes soignées, de familles et de proches, permettent de prendre conscience, tant de la complexité des situations rencontrées, que de la place que doivent occuper l'échange et l'humain au cœur de ces réflexions.La prévention du mal-être des soignants au travail, qu'ils soient acteurs de proximité, cadres ou médecins, ne doit pas être négligée.Des outils et actions mis en place dans des établissements publics et privés, en France et à l'étranger sont présentés. Ils permettent de sensibiliser à la bientraitance, de déterminer, en fonction des services et des situations, ce qui peut être considéré comme maltraitant, de mesurer, de s'autoévaluer et donc d'aider à mettre en œuvre la prise en soin la meilleure possible, en fonction de chaque situation considérée dans sa globalité. Le facteur humain, collectif et individuel est, en effet, fondamental dans l'optique de bientraitance, dont une définition est proposée en fin d'ouvrage.

    • French
    La chirurgie ambulatoire est un sujet d'une actualité brûlante. Les recommandations actuelles, notamment de l'HAS, incitent à augmenter le nombre de patients opérés en ambulatoire. Les motivations semblent de nature plutôt économique que médicale et interpellent les chirurgiens dans leur pratique : comment concilier ces recommandations avec l'exigence de qualité et de sécurité des soins ? Coordonné par Jean-Alain Colombier et Eric Toullec qui ont réuni autour d'eux une trentaine d'auteurs, cet ouvrage, à travers 14 chapitres thématiques, fait le point sur les enjeux du mode ambulatoire dans la chirurgie du pied et de la cheville. Il aborde : l'état des lieux et des pratiques sur la prise en charge en Europe et dans le monde ; les recommandations de l'HAS ; l'implication médicolégale et la prise en charge de la Sécurité sociale ; la présentation du circuit ambulatoire (anesthésie, gestion préopératoire et postopératoire) ; les indications, les contre-indications et les spécificités techniques ; l'évaluation de la prise en charge et la comparaison de la douleur en ambulatoire versus hospitalisation ; les échecs de prise en charge, l'analyse des événements porteurs de risque et le coût de la chirurgie en ambulatoire. Ce premier volume des « Mises au point » de l'AFCP est indispensable à tous les chirurgiens du pied et de la cheville, elle intéressera également tous ceux (anesthésistes, directeurs d'hôpitaux et de cliniques, paramédicaux, kinésithérapeutes) qui se questionnent et réfléchissent sur la problématique de la chirurgie en ambulatoire.

    • French
    Cet ouvrage est construit autour de témoignages de soignants. L'auteure a choisi les situations les plus représentatives de la réalité du monde de la santé. Au fil des cas présentés, elle propose des pistes de réflexion et d'actions concrètes pour faciliter les relations avec les patients, les familles, et entre professionnels, tout en prenant soin de soi. Un chapitre est consacré à la gestion des émotions et au bien-être au travail. L'objectif de cet ouvrage est d'ouvrir les pistes des possibles, de transformer le doute en questionnement constructif, d'aider à (re)donner du sens et à cultiver le plaisir de travailler sans s'épuiser. Le style direct, stimulant et même humoristique de l'auteure vise à dédramatiser des situations difficiles, à les analyser soi-même et à trouver des solutions individuelles ou collectives. L'ouvrage n'a pas la prétention de résoudre « clef en main » tous les problèmes mais plutôt de proposer des éclairages parfois inédits, qui s'inspirent d'expériences comparées et de différentes approches de la communication et de la gestion du stress adaptées aux besoins spécifiques des soignants. Entièrement mise à jour, cette 2e édition est enrichie de données nouvelles, en particulier sur l'éducation thérapeutique du patient, la démarche réflexive et les références bibliographiques. L'auteure y incite à l'analyse des pratiques professionnelles par des questions ciblées.

    • English
    This issue will be an informative treatise on gastroparesis, a symptomatic chronic disorder of the stomach characterized by delayed gastric emptying in the absence of mechanical obstruction. Gastroparesis is an increasingly recognized and diagnosed disorder. Treatment can be challenging due to several mechanisms which play a role in causing the symptoms. Symptoms of gastroparesis are variable and include early satiety, nausea, vomiting, bloating, and upper abdominal discomfort. These symptoms can range from mild to severe leading to such complications as malnutrition, functional disability, and multiple hospitalizations. The three most common etiologies are diabetes, post-surgical, and idiopathic (unknown). Treatment consists of dietary manipulation, medical, and surgical therapy. The articles will provide a comprehensive review and in-depth information on gastroparesis. Each chapter will be written by an expert in the area. This issue will give the reader a better appreciation for the breadth of gastroparesis.

    This issue will focus on the most common reproductive endocrine conditions encountered by healthcare providers. This series is timely and will be of interest to readers as there are many recent updates to the recommendations for appropriate evaluation and treatment of several reproductive conditions. Each chapter will address specific anatomic and hormonal conditions and will examine reproductive function from puberty to menopause. A thorough summary of abnormal uterine bleeding including recent 2012 updates for evaluation and management will be emphasized. Individual chapters on anatomic causes of bleeding, such as uterine fibroids and endometriosis, will be included with a focus on new treatment options. Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), a common hormonal cause of irregular bleeding and infertility, will also be reviewed. Recent studies provide insight into new fertility treatments for patients with PCOS including the use of aromatase inhibitors for ovulation induction. Other fertility related chapters include the evaluation of the infertile woman, ovulation induction, recurrent pregnancy loss, and age-related infertility. Finally, a transition to premature ovarian insufficiency and menopause will be provided. The Women’s Health Initiative publication in 2002 reported an association between hormone replacement therapy and breast cancer. There are several updates since this controversial publication and recent literature will be summarized. Attention will focus on appropriate evaluation and management of these common reproductive endocrine topics reviewing recent recommendations on best practices for clinicians.
