  • Plans de soins types et chemins cliniques

    20 situations cliniques prévalentes
    • 1st Edition
    • Frédérique Decavel + 2 more
    • French
    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.

  • Bioquímica clínica

    • 7th Edition
    • William J. Marshall + 3 more
    • Spanish
    La obra plantea fundamentalmente cómo se ve alterada la química del organismo cuando éste se ve afectado por diferentes patologías. Su abordaje es bastante básico, sin profundizar demasiado en el aspecto molecular y, a través de sus 21 capítulos presenta un amplio abanico de trastornos fisiológicos que se reflejan gracias a las alteraciones en los diferentes niveles de elementos químicos del organismo (niveles de Na, K…) y de biomoléculas (hormonas, enzimas...). Cada uno de los capítulos se inicia con una introducción en donde se hace un recordatorio de los aspectos correspondientes a ciencias básicas referentes a los trastornos que se van a tratar. Incluye también capítulos específicos relativos a: alteraciones metabólicas en los procesos oncológicos y diferentes respuestas en franjas de edad extrema (población anciana y pediátrica). Cada capítulo presenta los siguientes recursos didácticos: negrita para resaltar aquellos conceptos más relevantes; cuadros de fondo verde en donde se dan "pistas" para el correcto diagnóstico, o se enumeran las características y causas de diferentes trastornos metabólicos (ej: hiperprolactinemia, diabetes insipidus…); algoritmos diagnósticos; cuadros de casos clínicos (aprox. 100), en donde tras una presentación y los resultados de laboratorio obtenidos, se comenta cuál es el diagnóstico y el porqué del razonamiento; cuadro resumen en fondo rojo, en donde en forma de puntos se recogen las ideas y conceptos más importantes tratados en el capítulo. La obra cuenta con material adicional online en inglés disponible a través de StudentConsult en la que se incluye todas las imágenes del libro impreso y un banco de preguntas de autoevaluación.

    • Richard Novell + 2 more
    • English
    2014 BMA Medical Book Awards Highly Commended in Surgery category! General Surgical Operations is a highly-praised and comprehensive textbook of operative surgery. It is a practical manual aimed at the surgeon who is about to carry out an operation, rather than just a description of the principles suitable for an examiner. Kirk’s General Surgical Operations continues to be aimed at a broad readership: the candidate preparing for the Intercollegiate FRCS in General Surgery or international equivalents; the trained surgeon faced, through necessity, with undertaking an infrequently performed procedure; and the many surgeons working in hospitals throughout the world without access to specialist services. It remains above all a practical text which will guide the surgeon in training, or one unfamiliar with a procedure, on how to perform it, but more importantly on how to manage the uncertainties which so often arise This is a ‘What to do’ book. Using it the reader can aspire to gain diagnostic, decision making and operative surgical competence with confidence.
