This book was released on 2011-11-18 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book covers competing risks and multistate models, sometimes summarized as event history analysis.

Both R and multistate methods are promoted with a focus on nonparametric methods.

Download or read book Post Intensive Care Syndrome written by Jean-Charles Preiser and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2019-08-31 with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book, part of the European Society of Intensive Care Medicine textbook series, provides detailed up-to-date information on the physical, cognitive, and psychological impairments that are frequently present following a stay in an intensive care unit and examines in depth the available preventive and therapeutic strategies, including adapted rehabilitation programs. Beyond acquainting readers with the multiple facets of post-intensive care syndrome (PICS), the book aims to promote the effective follow-up of patients, thereby enhancing their ability to work and their functional autonomy, and to identify risk factors for the development of PICS as a stimulus to beneficial organizational changes in intensive care departments. The background to the book is the realization by healthcare providers that the quality of life of patients who have required a stay in an intensive care unit can be severely impaired or even become unacceptable. All too often, the diverse sequelae are overlooked by specialists of other disciplines. Moreover, families and caregivers are also at high risk of post-traumatic stress disorder and depression. The European Society of Intensive Care Medicine has developed the Lessons from the ICU series with the vision of providing focused and state-of-the-art overviews of central topics in Intensive Care and optimal resources for clinicians working in Intensive Care. This book, written by renowned experts in the field, will facilitate the transmission of key knowledge with significant clinical and financial benefits.
Download or read book Improving aneurysmal Subarachnoid hemorrhage management what s new written by Massimo Del Sette and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2024-08-12 with total page 101 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) still represents a significant cause of morbidity and mortality around the world and its outcome can be dramatically impacted by early and expert care. SAH treatment comprises early neurosurgical or endovascular treatment of the ruptured aneurysm, strategies to reduce further neurological injury, and managing systemic complications. In fact, management of aSAH is a multidisciplinary issue and the current state of knowledge is in rapid evolution. Nevertheless, the guidelines are not up to date. The last American aSAH guidelines were issued in 2012 and covered literature up until May 2010, and in 2013 members of the Guidelines Committee of the European Stroke Organization reviewed them from a European standpoint. Since then, considerable advances have been made in diagnostic methods, surgical and endovascular techniques, and clinical management paradigms. Subarachnoid hemorrhage is still a relevant health problem and, although its incidence varies among populations, a quarter of patients affected by aSAH die and approximately half of survivors are left with some persistent neurological deficit. Taking into account the fact that the prognosis of aSAH patients is affected by multiple factors and that some of them can be influenced by therapeutic strategies and management procedures, we believe that there is a need to reassess which interventions provide the greatest benefit to patients.
Download or read book Evaluating Critical Care written by William J. Sibbald and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 387 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Measuring the quality of a complex service like critical care that combines the highest technology with the most intimate caring is a challenge. Recently, con sumers, clinicians, and payers have requested more formal assessments and comparisons of the quality and costs of medical care [2). Donabedian [1) pro posed a framework for thinking about the quality of medical care that separates quality into three components: structure, process, and outcome. An instructive analogy for understanding this framework is to imagine a food critic evaluating the quality of a restaurant. The critic might comment on the decoration and lighting ofthe restaurant, how close the tables are to each other, the extent ofthe wine list and where the chef trained. These are all evaluations of the restaurant structure. In addition, the critic might comment on whether the service was courteous and timely - measures of process. Finally, the critic might comment on outcomes like customer satisfaction or food poisoning. Similarly, to a health care critic, structure is the physical and human resources used to deliver medi cal care. Processes are the actual treatments offered to patients. Finally,outcomes are what happens to patients, for example, mortality, quality of life,and satisfac tion with care (Table 1). There is a debate about which of these measurements is the most important measure of quality.

Use it as a stand-alone technique or in combination with other tantric or medical ideas. Dr. Runels, the inventor of the P-Shot® procedure and the author of this book, has been treating sexual dysfunction in both men and women for three decades and has trained over 5,000 physicians in 56 countries. In one survey, this method was found to improve sexual stamina in 83% of the men who deploy the technique.

The text equips the reader with up-to-date knowledge of clinical practice for the respiratory system, lung diseases within critical care medicine and the impact of critical illness on lung biology. Each chapter highlights advances in the field as well as emphasising the importance of getting the basics right. Key messages, controversies, and directions to further research points allow both focused reading and deeper engagement. A dedicated chapter to COVID-19, and sections throughout explore the impact of this novel virus in specific areas of respiratory critical care.

Download or read book ICU Resource Allocation in the New Millennium written by David Crippen and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-09-14 with total page 351 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Intensive care medicine is one of the fastest growing services provided by hospitals and perhaps one of the most expensive. Yet in response to the global financial crisis of the last few years, healthcare funding is slowing or decreasing throughout the world. How we manage health care resources in the intensive care unit (ICU) now and in a future that promises only greater cost constraints is the subject of this book, the third in an informal series of volumes providing a global perspective on difficult issues arising in the ICU. Taking 12 developed countries as their focus, leading experts provide a country-by-country analysis of current ICU resource allocation. A second group of experts use the chapters as a departure point to analyze current ICU resource allocation at the level of the global medical village. The process is repeated, but with an eye toward the future – first country by country, then at the global level – that takes into account initiatives and reforms now underway. A fictional healthcare plan, the “Fair & Equitable Healthcare Plan,” is put forth to address weaknesses in existing approaches, and healthcare experts and ethicists are invited to respond to its often provocative provisions. Itself structured as a dialogue, the book is an excellent way to start or to continue serious discussion about the allocation of ICU healthcare resources now and in the years ahead.
