Les nerfs périphériques sont le support essentiel de l'information au sein de l'organisme. Après de nombreuses années d'observations, d'expérimentations et d'objectivisation des effets bénéfiques ou des contre-indications, les auteurs proposent une deuxième édition entièrement revue et augmentée, avec en particulier : - un nouveau chapitre sur le nerf pudendal et les algies périnéales, dont l'intérêt diagnostique et thérapeutique va croissant ; - l'ajout de techniques sur les aspects neurocutanés ; - près de 280 iconographies tout en couleurs, revues et enrichies.

    • French
    Cet ouvrage collaboratif synthétise les différents protocoles de pratique clinique et d'anesthésie en obstétrique de plusieurs maternités françaises collaborant au sein du Club d'Anesthésie-Réanima... Obstétricale (CARO). En dehors des réponses apportées par des ouvrages plus théoriques consacrés à l'anesthésie obstétricale, il existe aussi un besoin de références de pratique clinique auquel répond cet ouvrage. Rédigé sous forme de fiches, l'ouvrage, entièrement mis à jour et augmenté, se consacre dans une première partie aux interventions qui surviennent avant la naissance. La deuxième partie se concentre plus particulièrement sur la pratique de l'anesthésie obstétricale. Enfin, sont présentés les soins post-opératoires et la prise en charge de pathologies très spécifiques de la femme enceinte. La rédaction de ces fiches est au plus proche de l'actualité et des recommandations les plus récentes dans ces différents domaines d'exercice. . Écrit par des anesthésistes spécialisés en anesthésie obstétricale reconnus sur le terrain, ce guide permettra aux jeunes professionnels et à ceux qui ont un exercice irrégulier en maternité d'acquérir des références indispensables pour leur pratique. Il constitue également une base solide au moment de la certification des établissements pour étayer les protocoles déjà mis en place dans les maternités.

    Now in its third edition, this trusted clinical guide enables both the busy practitioner and student to review or to learn about a range of pathologies, conditions, examinations, diagnostic procedures, and interventions that can be effectively used in the physical rehabilitation of older people. It presents a broad overview of age-related physiological changes as well as specific professional discipline perspectives. Organized into eleven distinct and interrelated units, the first unit begins with key anatomical and physiological considerations seen with aging which have significant impact on the older person. The second and third units go on to review important aging-related conditions and disorders of the musculoskeletal and neuromuscular/neurol... systems respectively. Neoplasms commonly encountered in older people are the focus of the fourth unit; while aging-related conditions of the cardiovascular, pulmonary, integumentary and sensory systems are presented in units five through seven. Unit eight highlights a range of specific clinical problems and conditions commonly encountered with older patients. Critically, all of these units emphasize important examination and diagnostic procedures needed for a thorough evaluation and stress interventions that can be of significant benefit to the older patient. The ninth unit presents select physical therapeutic interventions that are especially important in managing rehabilitative care. Key societal issues related to aging are discussed in the tenth unit. Finally, the concluding eleventh unit focuses on the successful rehabilitation team that includes both professional and non-professional caregiver members. "The strengths of this generally excellent book lie in its thoughtful presentation of current approaches to clinical rehabilitation in older people."
