Download or read book Key Notes for Anesthesia Oral Board and OSCE written by Paul P. Su and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-07-27 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Key Notes for Anesthesia Oral Board and OSCE is an updated book for board eligible anesthesiologists to prepare for anesthesia oral board. It includes the newest content outline for the objective structured clinical examination including ultrasound and echo images. Unlike the written board in which the examinees can have vague knowledge to be able to pick up the right answers, in the oral board the examinees must have well organized and clear-cut knowledge to be able to speak it out. In addition, the answers in oral board need to be short and right to the point. As a result, the knowledge base for oral board has to be concise and precise. To fulfill this goal, the Key Notes contains only key facts of all major clinical anesthesia scenarios, and it is organized in clinically related categories or systems in such ways that it is easy to remember and easy to speak out. It also contains the most recent ASA guidelines. In addition to oral board preparation, this book can also be used as a quick clinical reference book for daily anesthesia practice.

Download or read book Clinical Examination Skills in the Adult Critically Ill Patient written by Martin W. Dünser and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-08-09 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This well-illustrated book provides detailed guidance on all aspects of physical examination in patients requiring emergency or intensive care. After an introductory section covering basic principles and the recognition of pre-terminal signs, the approach to examination of individual organ systems is clearly explained. Examination schemes are then presented for particular conditions or settings, including respiratory distress, shock, neurological disease, trauma, suspected infection, and cardiac arrest. The skill of physical examination has become the forgotten art of medicine in both undergraduate and postgraduate studies. Furthermore, most books on the topic have so far focused on examination practices applicable to non-critically ill patients. In emergency and intensive care medicine, however, a different approach and sometimes also different examination techniques are required due to the life-threatening disease process. In summarizing knowledge and providing guidance on physical examination in this specific subgroup of patients, this book will meet the needs of all physicians and allied health care professionals involved in the care of critically ill patients.
