  • Infiltrations échoguidées

    en pathologie musculosquelettique
    • 1st Edition
    • Jean-Luc Drapé + 1 more
    • French
    Ce guide pratique s'adresse à tous les praticiens désirant réaliser des infiltrations et autres gestes percutanés sous guidage échographique des pathologies abarticulaires et articulaires. Depuis quelques années le guidage échographique, non-irradiant, facile d'accès et souvent plus adapté pour les structures périarticulaires (tendons, bourses, etc.) a partiellement remplacé le guidage scopique. Il permet de repérer les structures vasculonerveuses et de contrôler en temps réel l'injection au niveau de la cible. Néanmoins cette technique de guidage pose des questions spécifiques d'asepsie avec la manipulation de la sonde et nécessite de reconsidérer et d'adapter les voies d'abord qui peuvent être différentes des voies classiques connues sous scopie. Cette technique requiert donc un apprentissage et une bonne maîtrise des indications, du matériel et de l'écho- anatomie. Richement illustré avec de nombreux schémas, figures et vidéos, didactique et extrêmement pratique cet ouvrage aborde les techniques de plus de 30 infiltrations classées par région anatomique. Pour chaque geste sont discutés : - les précautions préalables (indications, informations au patient, hémostase), - le matériel nécessaire, les précautions d'asepsie, la position du patient, - la ou les voies d'abord avec les images de référence et les critères de réussite, - la posologie (dérivés cortisoniques, viscosupplémentation... plasma enrichi en plaquettes) et les précautions post-injection (type d'immobilisation et durée).

    Cet ouvrage est dédié à l'échocardiographie cardiaque du chien et du chat, domaine qui connaît de fortes évolutions. De nouvelles techniques — le Doppler tissulaire, le speckle tracking, l'échocardiographie transœsophagienne, et plus récemment l'échocardiographie tridimensionnelle, par exemple — ont bouleversé la manière d'évaluer l'anatomie et la fonction cardiaque. Ce livre présente tous les apports de ces nouvelles approches, en les associant aux modalités plus classiques, permettant aux cliniciens d'utiliser de manière efficiente tout le potentiel de leurs équipements dans leur pratique quotidienne de la clinique. L'évaluation du risque est abordée : risque d'insuffisance cardiaque, risque de thrombo-embolie, degré de sévérité de la cardiopathie et les pronostics associés à ces risques. Une section est consacrée à l'évaluation hémodynamique telle que le permettent toutes ces nouvelles modalités. Enfin, l'évaluation pré et post-chirurgicale des cardiopathies congénitales, signe du développement de la cardiologie interventionnelle et de la nécessité d'examens échocardiographiques de plus en plus sophistiqués, est expliquée en détail. Un chapitre introduit également l'échocardiographie tridimensionnelle, technique appelée à prendre un fort essor. Cet ouvrage de référence est abondamment illustré, enrichi de nombreuses données chiffrées ainsi que de vidéos commentées signalées par le logo "e" et consultables sur le mini-site EM-consulte. Axé sur la pratique quotidienne de l'échocardiographie vétérinaire, il est destiné aussi bien à l'échocardiographist... débutant souhaitant se former qu'à l'échocardiographist... averti qui souhaite se perfectionner.

  • Fiches de soins pour l'aide-soignant

    • Marie-Odile Rioufol
    • French
    L’aide-soignant, pour rester en cohérence avec ses valeurs de soignant et répondre aux critères de soins, doit se centrer sur le malade et ses besoins plutôt que sur la technique. C’est pourquoi les fiches qui constituent cet ouvrage sont articulées autour de la règle d’ORR (Organisation, Réalisation, Relation) qui permet de mettre en place les gestes et techniques nécessaires tout en les reliant systématiquement au patient qui fait l’objet de ces soins. Cet ouvrage, découpé en 14 parties, offre 78 fiches, claires et synthétiques, classées selon les grands besoins de Virginia Henderson et agrémentées d’illustrations. Chaque fiche correspond à un soin et détaille l’essentiel que doit maîtriser l’aide-soignant à travers des encadrés où sont présentés les astuces ou points importants à retenir ou les dangers à éviter. Cette 5e édition, revue et augmentée, souligne, grâce à de nouvelles fiches pratiques et concrètes (comme par exemple, la prévention des risques liés à la chaleur, le circuit des déchets, l’accueil des aidants…), la dimension relationnelle existant aussi bien avec les patients qu’avec l’équipe soignante (transmissions, collaboration entre infirmiers et aides-soignants). Agréables et pratiques, ces fiches permettent aux soignants (élèves et professionnels) de trouver la réponse la mieux adaptée aux différents besoins de la personne soignée.

    Sleep Disorders - General Practice: The Integrative Approach. There are many types of sleep disorders, with different aetiologies, presentations and treatments. Generally, sleep disorders can be classified into one of four groups: hypersomnias, parasomnias, insomnia and sleep–wake schedule disorders. Some sleep disorders need to be referred to a specialised sleep disorders clinic for diagnosis and treatment. Other sleep problems can be diagnosed and managed within general practice and will be emphasised in this chapter. In the first part of this chapter we provide a brief introduction to the sleep process. In the second part, we outline sleep disorders such as obstructive sleep apnoea, narcolepsy and sleep-related movement disorders, bruxism and the parasomnias, which require referral to a specialised sleep centre. In the final part we describe the diagnosis and management of the more common but heterogenous sleep disorders of insomnia and sleep–wake schedule disorders.
