Download or read book The Remarkable Developments of Heart and Chest Surgery in the 20Th Century written by Armand A. Lefemine MD and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2014-12-30 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author is a board-certified thoracic and heart surgeon who studied and learned the craft of thoracic surgery under one of the great pioneers in the development of heart surgery. The rapid multiplication of heart and lung operations as well as the diagnostic tools and the mechanical, electrical, and chemical means to support life during surgery is a story that needs to be told. It is not an uncomplicated story but one that is easy to appreciate particularly if you are one of those who benefited and thousands did. The table of contents gives some idea of the impressive extent of the blossoming of thoracic surgery particularly in the last fifty years of the twentieth century.

Download or read book Pioneers of Cardiac Surgery written by William S. Stoney and published by Vanderbilt University Press. This book was released on 2008 with total page 578 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Heart operations today are quite common and relatively low-risk, but in the beginning it was just the opposite. Cardiac operations were reserved for desperately ill patients. The author documents this dramatic transition with profiles of 38 surgeons who were active between 1940 and 1985. The profiles are edited transcripts of interviews videotaped between 1996 and 2004. They tell of the development of new techniques such as the "blue baby operation," the first heart-lung machine, the first artificial heart valve, and the first coronary bypass operation. They also tell the unusual life stories of the surgeons and allude to professional and institutional rivalries. A particularly valuable part of the book is the author's brief history of cardiac surgery, designed to orient the reader for reading the profiles that follow.

Download or read book Surgery of the Heart written by J. Dyde and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 159 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: DR. R. E. SMITH The first and second Coventry conferences on "Surgery of the Oesophagus" and "Surgery of the Lung" were arranged by Mr. Roger Abbey Smith, and they were so successful that he asked his colleague, Mr. J. A. Dyde to arrange one on "Surgery of the Heart." He willingly accepted this task and has also been joint Editor. This book reproduces as faithfully as possible the papers and the discussion on the various subjects included in the Coventry conference. The simple title "Surgery of the Heart" could be expanded to include the blood vessels. Especially important is the anatomy of the various combinations and permutations of the pulmonary and systemic vessels. These playa major role in the production of pulmonary hypertension. First class investigations by radiologists, and physiologists ascertain the precise situation which the surgeon will expect to find when he opens the chest; indeed will help him to make the right approach. Mr. W. G. Williams helped with the social programme which enabled people to meet people. Mr. A. Martin gave us valuable help in taping the recordings which Mrs. J. Jelley and Mrs. V. Bayliss-Stranks ably transcribed. The editorial staff of Plenum Publications have given us unsparing advice and guidance. v PROLOGUE DR. R. E. SMITH I welcome you all to this conference on Surgery of the Heart.

Download or read book Postoperative Care in Thoracic Surgery written by Mert Şentürk and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-03-17 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers a comprehensive, up-to-date overview of optimal postoperative care in patients who have undergone thoracic surgery and discusses challenging issues that are of interest not only in the context of thoracic surgery but also more generally within the fields of anesthesia, intensive care, and pain medicine. The coverage ranges, for example, from use of non-invasive ventilation, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, and new monitoring devices to fluid management, pain control, and treatment of arrhythmias. A key feature of the book is the exceptionally attractive list of authors, who represent the most authoritative experts on the topics that they address. The approach is appropriately multidisciplinary, acknowledging that in many centers thoracic anesthetists are responsible for care during the postoperative period. This book is exceptional in being devoted solely to postoperative care in thoracic surgery, even though the difficulties involved in thoracic operations sometimes exceed those of cardiac surgery, especially in the postoperative period.
