Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Contexte : En 2012, les services d'urgences du Nord-Pas-de-Calais ont enregistré 1 117 543 passages, 5,3% concernait une affection de l'appareil respiratoire. Les malades consultant pour un bronchospasme sont particulièrement fragiles. Un retard de prise en charge peut mettre en jeu leur pronostic vital. Le terrain sur lequel survient le bronchospasme conditionne la prise en charge. Les sociétés savantes fournissent des recommandations de prise en charge pour ces étiologies difficiles. En pratique, sont-elles suivies? Méthode : Etude prospective, observationnelle, descriptive, multicentrique, réalisée aux urgences des centres hospitaliers de Douai et Roubaix entre le 12 Février et le 12 Mars 2015. Tous les adultes admis en service d'urgences, présentant une dyspnée expiratoire associée à des sibilants auscultatoires, quel que soit le terrain ou la gravité, étaient inclus dans l'étude. Les praticiens renseignaient sur un questionnaire à choix multiples les caractéristiques du patient, le diagnostic et leur prise en charge thérapeutique. Cette dernière était comparée aux recommandations émises par les sociétés savantes. Résultats : 67 patients ont été inclus, 28 au centre hospitalier de Douai et 39 au centre hospitalier de Roubaix, dont 29 femmes. L'âge moyen des patients était de 62,8 ans ; écarttype 19,8. Les étiologies reconnues comme responsables du bronchospasme aigu ont été une exacerbation de broncho-pneumopathie chronique obstructive dans 46% des cas, 21% un asthme aigu grave. Sur les 67 diagnostics évoqués, 48 faisaient l'objet de recommandations par les sociétés savantes. Les recommandations de prise en charge ont été suivies dans 63% des cas (n=30). Conclusion : Les recommandations de prise en charge des bronchospasmes, quand elles existent, ne sont suivies que dans 63% des cas, ce qui signifie que plus d'un patient sur 3 se présentant aux urgences pour ce motif ne bénéficie pas d'une prise en charge optimale.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The importance of palliative care for children facing life threatening illness and their families is now widely acknowledged as an essential part of care, which should be available to all children and families, throughout the child's illness and at the end of life. The new edition of the Oxford Textbook of Palliative Care for Children brings together the most up to date information, current knowledge, evidence, and developments of clinical practice in the field. The book is structured into four sections. 'Foundations of Care' describes core issues, the foundations on which paediatric palliative care is based. 'Child and Family Care' looks at different aspects of psychological, social, and cultural care for the sick child or young person, and their family. These chapters cover the time course of the illness, around the time of death and support for the bereaved family. 'Symptom Care' focuses on the uses of medication, specific symptoms, and their management. Finally, 'Delivery of Care' examines practical approaches to care in different environments and the needs of clinicians. Two new editors join the team from Canada and South Africa, reflecting our aims to contribute towards the development of care for children across the world, and to be a resource for both experienced clinicians and those new to the field. Comprehensive in scope, exhaustive in detail, and definitive in authority, this third edition has been thoroughly updated to cover new practices, current epidemiological data, and the evolving models that support the delivery of palliative medicine to children. This includes two new chapters, looking in detail at 'Decision Making' and 'Perinatal Care', and a new section highlighting the emerging importance of 'Palliative Care for Children in Humanitarian Crises'. This book is an essential resource for anyone who works with children worldwide.

Download or read book Children s Palliative Care in Africa written by Justin Amery and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Childen's palliative care has developed rapidly as a discipline, as health care professionals recognize that the principles of adult palliative care may not always be applicable to children at the end of life. The unique needs of dying children are particularly evident across Africa, where the scale of the problem is overwhelming, and the figures so enormous that they are barely comprehensible: over 400,000 children in Africa died from AIDS in 2003, and out of the 166,000 children a year diagnosed with cancer, 85% of these are in the developing world. Despite the enormous need, provision of children's palliative care in Africa is almost non-existent, with very few health workers trained and confident to provide care for dying children. The challenges of providing palliative care in this setting are different to those in more developed countries, contending with the shortage of physical and human resources in addition to the vast scope of the care needed. Written by a group with wide experience of caring for dying children in Africa, this book provides practical, realistic guidance by improving access to, and delivery of, palliative care in this demanding setting. It looks at the themes common to palliative care--including communication, assessment, symptom management, psychosocial issues, ethical dilemmas, end of life care, and tips for the professional on compassion and conservation of energy--but always retains the focus on the particular needs of the health care professional in Africa. While containing some theory, the emphasis is on practical action throughout the book. Children's Palliative Care in Africa provides health care professionals working in Africa, and other resource-poor settings, with the confidence, knowledge, and capacity to improve care for the terminally ill child in constrained and demanding environments.
