This innovative, comprehensive book covers key elements of perioperative management of older patients, from preoperative evaluation to post-hospital care.
This book, part of the European Society of Intensive Care Medicine (ESICM) textbook series, provides detailed up-to-date information on the care of the critical ill very old (≥80 years) patients in the ICU. The very old are expanding fast in our populations, and this is mirrored in our hospitals and ICUs as well. During the last decade, a lot more information about the group of critical ill elderly has been published, and several large networks cooperate in performing multinational studies in this field, one of them with roots in the ESICM. This book will give readers knowledge about the current epidemiology of elderly ICU patients, in patients centered outcomes and factors affecting these...
Considerato da molti il testo più completo sui concetti teorici e pratici dell’anestesiologia, Miller Anestesia è giunto ormai alla 6a edizione. Come le edizioni passate, il testo è suddiviso in sezioni che trattano i concetti teorici e pratici dell’anestesiologia moderna. L’introduzione, incentrata sulla storia dell’anestesiologia dall’antichità ai giorni nostri, costituisce un ottimo spunto. La sezione relativa alle scienze di base (Sezione II) si occupa dei principi farmacologici di base, delle singole classi farmacologiche e della fisiologia. Include inoltre alcuni capitoli sui sistemi di somministrazione dei farmaci, sulle terapie alternative e complementari e sulla statis...
Geriatric Surgery and Perioperative Care presents clear evidence to support regulatory and financial decisions in the light of the value-based care principles. The book outlines standards of care for elderly patients undergoing surgery as well as minimal requirements for modern management aimed at delivering cost-effective healthcare. It opens with the epidemiology and patho-physiological changes of aging and their impact on anesthesia and surgery. Subsequent chapters guide readers through the surgical process, addressing preoperative optimization, intraoperative procedures and management, and postoperative principles, including ICU care.The book concludes with ethical principles, care model...
The three-volume set LNCS 12762, 12763, and 12764 constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Human Computer Interaction thematic area of the 23rd International Conference on Human-Computer Interaction, HCII 2021, which took place virtually in July 2021. The total of 1276 papers and 241 posters included in the 39 HCII 2021 proceedings volumes was carefully reviewed and selected from 5222 submissions. The 139 papers included in this HCI 2021 proceedings were organized in topical sections as follows: Part I, Theory, Methods and Tools: HCI theory, education and practice; UX evaluation methods, techniques and tools; emotional and persuasive design; and emotions and cognition in HCI Part II, Interaction Techniques and Novel Applications: Novel interaction techniques; human-robot interaction; digital wellbeing; and HCI in surgery Part III, Design and User Experience Case Studies: Design case studies; user experience and technology acceptance studies; and HCI, social distancing, information, communication and work
E’ comodo definirsi scrittori da parte di chi non ha arte né parte. I letterati, che non siano poeti, cioè scrittori stringati, si dividono in narratori e saggisti. E’ facile scrivere “C’era una volta….” e parlare di cazzate con nomi di fantasia. In questo modo il successo è assicurato e non hai rompiballe che si sentono diffamati e che ti querelano e che, spesso, sono gli stessi che ti condannano. Meno facile è essere saggisti e scrivere “C’è adesso….” e parlare di cose reali con nomi e cognomi. Impossibile poi è essere saggisti e scrivere delle malefatte dei magistrati e del Potere in generale, che per logica ti perseguitano per farti cessare di scrivere. Devastan...
In questo libro viene affrontato il problema della sicurezza in anestesia attraverso un’analisi della tipologia, della frequenza degli incidenti e dei principali fattori che li determinano con l’obiettivo di fornire ai medici anestesisti elementi utili al fine della prevenzione di ogni possibile danno al paziente. Il volume valuta tutte le cause che direttamente o indirettamente concorrono nel determinare un incidente, fornisce utili elementi per stabilire il corretto comportamento medico, l’entità e le caratteristiche delle risorse tecnologiche e farmacologiche implicate nella anestesia, la preparazione dei medici nella pratica clinica e nell’affrontare le situazioni di emergenza. Copertina in brossura a colori.
This innovative, comprehensive book covers the key elements of perioperative management of older patients. The book's chapter structure coincides with the clinical path patients tread during their treatment, from preoperative evaluation to post-hospital care. Epidemiological aspects and aging processes are illustrated, providing keys to understanding the quick expansion of geriatric surgery and defining the clinical profile of older surgical patients in a cybernetic perspective. Preoperative evaluation and preparation for surgery, including medication reconciliation and pre-habilitation, are developed in the light of supporting decision-making about surgery in an evidence-based and patient-focused way. Intra- and postoperative management are discussed, aiming to tailor anesthetic, surgical and nursing approaches to specific patients' needs, in order to prevent both general and age-related complications. This volume also addresses issues relevant to geriatric surgery, from different organizational models to clinical risk management and systems engineering applied to hospital organization.
