Download or read book Embolic Disease written by Stanislaw P. Stawicki and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2020-02-05 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the realm of medical practice, the word “embolism” has many implications to many people, with most providers instinctively placing this word within an inherently negative context. Derived from the Greek word, ἐμβολισμός, this term most literally means “interposition.” Yet, regardless of how benign this etymological derivation may appear, the clinical context is quite the opposite—a symbol of much dreaded morbidity and mortality. Whether the embolus consists of a blood clot, a fat globule, a bubble of gas, amniotic fluid, or even an iatrogenic or traumatic foreign body, the unfavorable connotations persist even if the patient has few or no associated symptoms and requires no intervention.The primary goal of this book is to provide the reader with an overview of the most common types of embolic phenomena encountered in clinical practice, including some of the key related diagnostic and therapeutic considerations. Among chapters featured in the current collection are important contributions in the areas of pulmonary embolism, fat embolism, embolic complications of non-malignant cardiac tumors, acute arterial embolism of the lower extremity, thrombophilia in pregnancy, bullet and shrapnel embolization, coronary artery embolization, as well as a comprehensive review of venous interventions utilized in the management of thromboembolic disorders. When measured in terms of both human and financial costs, broadly defined “embolic phenomena” have tremendous impact on healthcare systems and societies around the globe. Through this academic effort of both our editorial team and individual chapter authors, we hope to provide the reader with valuable insight into the gravity of the collective problem. Among key takeaway messages of this book is that diagnostic relativity and uncertainty continue to prevail in the realm of “embolic diseases.” Consequently, much more progress is required before we are able to declare success.
Download or read book Preventing Venous Thromboembolism in Hospitalised Patients written by Jed Duff and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 530 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is the umbrella term covering deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism and a group of associated chronic conditions. This vascular disease process is a common, yet serious adverse complication of hospitalisation that results in significant mortality, morbidity, and healthcare resource expenditure. VTE in hospitalised patients is preventable and there is a robust evidence base supporting the use of prophylactic therapies for at-risk patients. Unfortunately, despite the evidence, research and clinical audit reveal that these therapies are frequently underutilised or inconsistently applied. The substantial VTE prevention evidence-practice gap has been identified internationally as a priority patient safety issue. Implementation science is a relatively new field of research focused on closing evidence-practice gaps by translating research findings into routine clinical practice. This PhD thesis contains five publications from a linked series of four implementation science studies aimed at improving the uptake of research evidence on VTE prevention in hospitalised patients. The studies were conducted at St Vincent&‟s Private Hospital, a 270 bed acute care facility in Sydney, Australia.' - (Abstract)

Download or read book Venous Thromboembolism in Advanced Disease written by Simon I R Noble and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2008-12-18 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is increasing recognition of the burden of venous thromboembolism (VTE) in patients with advanced incurable disease and the clinical, ethical, and philosophical challenges they may pose. With a growing elderly population and oncological therapies helping patients live longer with malignant disease, VTE is likely to be an ongoing problem. Whilst presentation, diagnosis, and treatment of VTE in general medicine is well established, its management within the palliative care setting is less clear-cut. Clinical presentation is often masked by other palliative symptoms, and symptoms can be consistent with those of other conditions; diagnosis is therefore underappreciated, and the condition can be difficult to manage. Bringing together contributions from international experts in the field of VTE and palliative care, this book explores the increasing challenges faced by healthcare professionals when managing VTE in advanced disease. Topics such as the epidemiology and pathogenesis of the condition are discussed. It appraises the current evidence informing the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of VTE, with particular emphasis on its application to patients with incurable malignancy and non-malignant disease. Chapters are illustrated with key learning points and, where appropriate, case studies are presented to illustrate the decision-making processes that may occur when balancing the evidence with its impact on patient quality of life. This practical resource is invaluable for healthcare professionals working in all areas of medicine where patients with advanced cancer and non-malignant disease are cared for.
