Download or read book Sickle Cell Pain written by Samir K. Ballas and published by Lippincott Williams & Wilkins. This book was released on 2015-06-01 with total page 1004 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sickle Cell Pain is a panoramic, in-depth exploration of every scientific, human, and social dimension of this cruel disease. This comprehensive, definitive work is unique in that it is the only book devoted to sickle cell pain, as opposed to general aspects of the disease. The 752-page book links sickle cell pain to basic, clinical, and translational research, addressing various aspects of sickle pain from molecular biology to the psychosocial aspects of the disease. Supplemented with patient narratives, case studies, and visual art, Sickle Cell Pain’s scientific rigor extends through its discussion of analgesic pharmacology, including abuse-deterrent formulations. The book also addresses in great detail inequities in access to care, stereotyping and stigmatization of patients, the implications of rapidly evolving models of care, and recent legislation and litigation and their consequences.

Download or read book War Surgery 1914 18 written by Steven Heys and published by Helion. This book was released on 2013 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A fascinating study of war surgery in World War I, where huge medical developments were made and the foundations of modern war surgery were laid World War I resulted in an enormous number of casualties who had sustained filthy contaminated wounds from high explosive shellfire, bomb and mortar blast, and from rifle and machine gun bullets. Such wounds were frequently multiple and severe, and almost invariably became infected. Surgical experience from previous conflicts was of little value, and it became quickly apparent that early surgical intervention with radical removal of all dead and revitalised tissue was absolutely vital to help reduce the chances of infections, especially the lethal gas gangrene, from developing. War Surgery 1914-18 explains how medical services responded to deal with the casualties. It discusses the evacuation pathway, and explains how facilities, particularly casualty clearing stations, evolved to cope with major, multiple wounds to help reduce mortality. There are chapters dealing with the advances made in anaesthesia, resuscitation and blood transfusion, the pathology and microbiology of wounding and diagnostic radiology. There are also chapters dealing with the development of orthopaedic surgery, both on the Western Front and in the United Kingdom, the treatment of abdominal wounds, chest wounds, wounds of the skull and brain, and the development of plastic and reconstructive surgery for those with terribly mutilating facial wounds. War Surgery 1914-18 contributes greatly to our understanding of the surgery of warfare. Surgeons working in Casualty Clearing Stations during the years 1914-1918 laid the foundations for modern war surgery as practised today in Afghanistan and elsewhere."--Publisher.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: PROMOTING PARTNERSHIP FOR HEALTH This book forms part of a series entitled Promoting Partnership for Health publishedin association with the UK Centre for the Advancement of Interprofessional Education (CAIPE). The series explores partnership for health from policy, practice and educational perspectives. Whilst strongly advocating the imperative driving collaboration in healthcare, it adopts a pragmatic approach. Far from accepting established ideas and approaches, the series alerts readers to the pitfalls and ways to avoid them. DESCRIPTION Interprofessional Teamwork for Health and Social Care is an invaluable guide for clinicians, academics, managers and policymakers who need to understand, implement and evaluate interprofessional teamwork. It will give them a fuller understanding of how teams function, of the issues relating to the evaluation of teamwork, and of approaches to creating and implementing interventions (e.g. team training, quality improvement initiatives) within health and social care settings. It will also raise awareness of the wide range of theories that can inform interprofessional teamwork. The book is divided into nine chapters. The first 'sets the scene' by outlining some common issues which underpin interprofessional teamwork, while the second discusses current teamwork developments around the globe. Chapter 3 explores a range of team concepts, and Chapter 4 offers a new framework for understanding interprofessional teamwork. The next three chapters discuss how a range of range of social science theories, interventions and evaluation approaches can be employed to advance this field. Chapter 8 presents a synthesis of research into teams the authors have undertaken in Canada, South Africa and the UK, while the final chapter draws together key threads and offers ideas for future of teamwork. The book also provides a range of resources for designing, implementing and evaluating interprofessional teamwork activities.

Download or read book Trauma Team Dynamics written by Lawrence M. Gillman and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-11-02 with total page 323 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first book exploring the unique dynamics created by a multidisciplinary trauma team and how crisis management strategies can improve teamwork and communication and, potentially, improve patient resuscitation outcomes. Crisis resource management (CRM) is integral to the way that we manage ourselves, team members, and patients during emergency situations. It is essentially the ability to translate knowledge of what needs to be done into effective actions during a crisis situation. Building on the revolutionary American College of Surgeons Advanced Trauma Life Support (ATLS®) course, Trauma Team Dynamics illustrates the integration of the principles of CRM to team dynamics throughout the resuscitation –from the scene, through pre-hospital care and transport, to the trauma bay, and finally to definitive care and beyond. The editors and contributors are international experts in trauma, critical care, emergency medicine, nursing, respiratory therapy, and pre-hospital care and include NASA- and United States military-affiliated experts. Trauma Team Dynamics is intended for use as both a day-to-day clinical resource and a reference text, and includes self-assessment questions as well as guidance on CRM curriculum design and implementation.

Download or read book Understanding Suicide written by Philippe Courtet and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-03-05 with total page 444 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book international experts address a range of key current issues relating to suicide. The opening chapters discuss nosology, definitions, clinical determinants, and conceptual models of the suicide process and consider the evidence regarding potential biomarkers of suicide risk based on neuroscientific research. Adopting a neo-Durkheimian perspective, the role of various social factors in the genesis of suicidal behavior is then explored in depth. Practical user-friendly tools that facilitate risk assessment by clinicians are provided, and detailed consideration is given to efficient and innovative strategies for the prevention of suicide and the treatment of suicidal behavior, such as psychotherapy, psychopharmacological approaches, and effective organization of care, including surveillance and the use of online tools. The final part of the book focuses on the need for and development of a personalized approach within the field of suicide prevention.

Download or read book General Trauma Care and Related Aspects written by Hans-Jörg Oestern and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-10-22 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There currently is a clear tendency to an increasing number of accidental injuries in elderly people, in sport injuries and car crashes also in countries which recently joined the European Union and candidates to join the European Union. Patients expect very good functional results even after serious injuries. But in contrast to this development, Trauma Surgery as an independent field, is not yet established in all European countries. Therefore, it seems mandatory to compile a book that covers the state-of-the-art in Trauma Surgery. The book also serves to harmonise the practice of Trauma Surgery within the European Union, and to prepare for the exam of the U.E.M.S.

This book was released on 2015 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Contexte : Du fait de la prévalence de la douleur aux urgences, de l'oligoanalgésie et de la volonté d'améliorer la prise en charge du patient douloureux, nous avons étudié la prise en charge de la douleur au sein des urgences du CH Tourcoing. Méthode : Notre étude est une évaluation des pratiques professionnelles réalisée en 3 phases : une évaluation rétrospective de 100 dossiers en 2013, une intervention auprès du personnel soignant du service puis une étude prospective de 100 dossiers en 2015. Nous avons inclus les patients adultes ayant un diagnostic traumatologique avec sanction chirurgicale et évalué la douleur grâce à l'échelle numérique. Résultats : On retrouve chez les patients ayant eu une évaluation de la douleur initiale (n=159), 40.3% (n=64) des évaluations initiales en 2013 contre 59.7% (n=95) en 2015. Pour les patients ayant bénéficié d'une réévaluation (n=78), celle-ci est faite chez 67.9% (n=53) des patients en 2015 pour 32.1% (n=25) en 2013. Sur les dossiers présentant une EN finale (n=73), on retrouve 76.7% (n=56) en 2015 pour 23.3% (n= 17) en 2013. L'EN à l'IAO n'a jamais été réalisé en 2013 et rapporté 19 fois en 2015. Chez les patients ayant bénéficiés d'une immobilisation par attelle ou plâtre (n=48), il y a 60.4% (n=29) des patients immobilisés en 2015 pour 39.6% (n=19) en 2013.

Download or read book valuation de la prise en charge de la douleur apr s la mise en place d un protocole d antalgie anticip e aux urgences du CHU d Amiens Picardie written by Margaux Peltier and published by . This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Introduction : les protocoles d'antalgie anticipée permettent d'améliorer la prise en charge de la douleur dès l'accueil aux urgences. L'objectif de notre étude était d'évaluer la prise en charge des patients douloureux aux urgences du CHU d'Amiens Picardie, après la mise en place d'un nouveau protocole, dans le cadre d'une évaluation des pratiques professionnelles. Matériels et méthodes : il s'agit d'une étude observationnelle rétrospective monocentrique, réalisée du 16 au 30 juillet 2022, à partir des dossiers des patients admis dans le service des urgences du CHU d'Amiens Picardie. Résultats : sur les 2142 patients inclus, 1952 patients (91,1%) ont été évalués à l'accueil des urgences et parmi eux 482 (soit 24,7%) ont reçu un traitement antalgique durant leur passage aux urgences. Le protocole d'antalgie anticipée a été utilisé chez 10% des patients qui ont consulté aux urgences. La morphine n'a été délivrée qu'à 5,7% des patients douloureux sévères. Il existe une corrélation significative entre l'intensité de la douleur et le taux d'antalgiques prescrits. Seuls 38,8% des patients évalués initialement ont bénéficié d'une réévaluation de la douleur. Le délai de réévaluation et la durée de passage aux urgences diminuent significativement avec l'augmentation de la douleur. 35,38% des patients présentaient un soulagement de leur douleur à la sortie des urgences. Conclusion : avec la mise en place du nouveau protocole d'antalgie anticipée, nous avons constaté une amélioration de la prise en charge de la douleur avec une augmentation de l'administration d'antalgique à l'accueil des urgences, et dans le service et une hausse du taux de patients soulagés à la sortie. Un nouveau protocole d'antalgie anticipée proposant un palier III, le sufentanil sublingual, dès l'accueil des urgences du CHU d'Amiens Picardie, va être mis en place afin de poursuivre l'amélioration de nos pratiques professionnelles.
