Book excerpt: Titles in the Pocket Tutor series give practical guidance on subjects that medical students and foundation doctors need help with ‘on the go’, at a highly-affordable price that puts them within reach of those rotating through modular courses or working on attachment. Topics reflect information needs stemming from today’s integrated undergraduate and foundation courses: Common presentations Investigation options (e.g. ECG, imaging) Clinical and patient-orientated skills (e.g. examinations, history-taking) The highly-structured, bite-size content helps novices combat the ‘fear factor’ associated with day-to-day clinical training and provides a detailed resource that students and junior doctors can carry in their pocket. Key points All hospital doctors deal with ABGs (arterial blood gases) but knowledge is commonly assumed and students lack confidence interpreting them Logical, sequential content: relevant basic science, understanding normal results and the building blocks of abnormal results, then clinical disorders Clinical disorders illustrated by representative test results and brief accompanying text that clearly identifies the defining feature of the result (in other words, what is it that makes this diabetic ketoacidosis?) Fully-updated second edition features new sections on capillary blood gases, venous blood gases, obesity and all illustrations now in full colour

Download or read book Making Sense of Lung Function Tests written by Robert Winter and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2012-12-11 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This pocket-sized handbook presents the many commonly performed tests of respiratory function, investigations that are to respiratory medicine what the ECG is to cardiology. Up to one third of emergency admissions are related to breathing difficulties of one sort or another, and a variety of diagnostic investigations are required. Familiarity with the interpretation of a range of respiratory parameters is therefore a fundamental skill to be acquired during training and improved upon throughout clinical practice. Providing invaluable 'hands-on' guidance for trainees in anaesthetics, medicine and pulmonary function, and also acting as a useful ready reference for the experienced clinician, Making Sense of Lung Function Tests places lung function in a clinical context using 'real-life' examples. The book integrates an understanding of the physiological principles underlying lung function with their interpretation in clinical practice. In reading Making Sense of Lung Function Tests the trainee physician will improve knowledge of the mechanical measurements of lung function, gain understanding of lung capacity and flow rates, be able to monitor the effectiveness of respiration, e.g. through blood gas analysis, and, as a result, will learn quickly how to manage patients requiring lung function tests appropriately and with confidence.

Download or read book Prescribing Skills Workbook written by Daniel Norton and published by JP Medical Ltd. This book was released on 2014-05-30 with total page 377 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Prescribing medications safely is a cornerstone of clinical practice but students receive little or no teaching in the practicalities of prescribing. Instead they are often left to learn on the ward, which inevitably leaves gaps in their knowledge. Unsurprisingly, prescribing errors among junior doctors are common and can cause significant harm to patients. This is a cause for concern with the GMC, and a potential solution - in the form of a national exam - has been proposed. Prescribing Skills Workbook is designed to help students and junior doctors bridge the gap between understanding the science of pharmacology and accurately writing a prescription on a patient's drug chart. The workbook format offers an ideal way to practice by completing a series of realistic, life-size charts in response to a clinical scenario. The book features 45 exercises, each one carefully chosen to test the reader's grasp of a key principle such as management of the patient on warfarin. Each exercise begins with a short scenario; next, the reader is invited to complete a chart based on the details in the case; then follows an answer section containing a correctly completed chart together with a summary of the main clinical and educational aspects of the exercise. Key Points A unique resource for medical students and foundation doctors to improve their understanding of the principles of safe prescribing and practice the physical act of filling out a drug chart correctly 45 blank' hospital charts replicate the experience of completing a realistic, life-size prescription, with 45 corresponding charts filled out correctly to enable the reader to compare, identify and rectify errors DRUGCHARTS checklist provides systematic framework for accurate prescribing by highlighting the key items to consider in each case Key points boxes highlight the main learning objectives in each exercise Short introductory chapter includes tips for safe prescribing

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Respiratory problems are the most common cause of acute admission to hospital. A variety of diagnostic investigations are required, both for acute and clinic assessment. Making Sense of Lung Function Tests, Second Edition familiarises both trainees and more experienced clinicians with the interpretation of a range of respiratory parameters. It places lung function in a clinical context using real-life examples and provides invaluable hands-on guidance. For this second edition Consultant Respiratory Physician Jonathan Dakin and Consultant Anaesthetist Elena Kourteli are joined by Mark Mottershaw, Chief Respiratory Physiologist from Queen Alexandra Hospital, Portsmouth, all contributing a broad range of expertise and perspectives. Together they have updated the book throughout and added new chapters including an algorithm for interpretation of pulmonary function tests, exhaled nitric oxide (FENO) and cardiopulmonary exercise testing. The text offers a clear explanation of the concepts which students find difficult, including: The basis of obstructive and restrictive defects Pattern recognition of the flow volume loop Differences between TLCO and KCO Assessment of oxygenation using PO2 and SO2 The basis of Type 1 and type 2 respiratory failure Distinguishing respiratory and metabolic acidosis The relationship between sleep and respiratory failure The information is presented in an accessible way, suitable for those seeking a basic grounding in spirometry or blood gases, but also sufficiently comprehensive for readers completing specialist training in general or respiratory medicine.

This book was released on 2005-10-01 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 4 STAR DOODY'S REVIEW "This book, which will fit in a white coat pocket, is an excellent companion for your rounds on the pulmonary floors and in the clinics. It is clearly written without too much scientific jargon. The authors have been careful to keep the book simple without too many formulas, although it is fairly complete and flows well. It deals with most of the pulmonary physiologic topics that you will come across during your work on medical, surgical, and pulmonary floors....This is one of the few books on the subject of pulmonary function testing I read cover to cover."--Doody's Review Service The Pocket Guide to Lung Function Tests is a practical guide to implementing and interpreting test results for common respiratory problems. In contrast to many reference texts already on the market, this book caters for both specialists and non-specialists -- focusing on essential practical information -- with a clinical rather than physiological emphasis. It also explains the subject without recourse to complex equations that often intimidate non-specialist practitioners. Handy and compact in length, the book presents only pertinent details and is well-suited for quick reference and easy access in the surgery. This new edition, in addition to a general update, includes new tests and expanded sections on techniques that have been further developed since the previous edition.
