Key Topics in Management of the Critically Ill
This book is designed to assist clinicians who are new to intensive care by providing information on a range of important and novel topics of relevance in the day-to-day management of critically ill patients. Guidance is given on the appropriate response to various emergencies and circumstances, including stroke, acute liver failure, severe burns, extreme pain, and delirium. The role of simulation training in the intensive care unit is discussed, and detailed attention is devoted to the application of modern techniques for the assessment of vital organs in the critical care setting, such as echocardiography and lung ultrasound. An individual chapter focuses on regional anesthesia in intensive care, and in addition the book addresses subjects and issues that are frequently neglected. Examples include transfer of the critically ill patient, the role of forgotten electrolytes such as magnesium, the use of non-coumarin anticoagulants, and neuropsychological rehabilitation. The book will have broad appeal, including for general intensivists, anesthetists, acute medicine physicians, and medical students attached to acute specialties or preparing for exams in intensive care medicine.

Wireless Mobile Communication and Healthcare
This book constitutes the refereed post-conference proceedings of the 9th International Conference on Mobile Communication and Healthcare, MobiHealth 2020, held in December 2020. Due to Covid-19 pandemic the conference was held virtually. The book contains 13 full papers selected from the main conference and 10 full papers from two workshops on medical artificial intelligence and on digital healthcare technologies. The conference papers are organized in topical sections on wearable technologies; health telemetry; mobile sensing and assessment; machine learning in eHealth applications.
Aging between Participation and Simulation
With increasing urgency, decisions about the digitalized future of healthcare and implementations of new assistive technologies are becoming focal points of societal and scientific debates and addresses large audiences. Decisions require a careful weighing of risks and benefits and contextualizing in-depth ethical analysis with robust empirical data. However, up to now, research on social assistive technologies is mostly dispersed over different academic fields and disciplines. A comprehensive overview on discussions regarding values at stake and ethical assessment of recent developments especially in healthcare is largely missing. This publication initiates an interdisciplinary discourse on...

Das Gelingen der künstlichen Natürlichkeit
Mit disruptiven Biotechnologien kann immer grundlegender in das menschliche Leben eingegriffen werden. Dem stehen die rasanten Fortschritte in der Entwicklung von Künstlicher Intelligenz gegenüber. In dieser doppelten Entwicklung werden die Grenzen zwischen menschlicher Natur und Technik diffus. Hieran entzünden sich grundlegende Fragen in Bezug auf unser Mensch-Sein: Werden Menschen unter therapeutischen Eingriffen mit disruptiven Biotechnologien – wie etwa Tiefer Hirnstimulation – zu Cyborgs? Lässt sich das Mensch-Sein mit disruptiven Biotechnologien optimieren: mit Hilfe von Eingriffen in das menschliche Erbgut, von Gesundheits-Apps, Psychopharmaka, Neurofeedbacks, Implantaten? Lassen sich Anwendungen von Biotechnologien zu Zwecken der Therapie und des Enhancements überhaupt klar unterscheiden? Stehen wir bereits am Anfang einer Ersetzung des Menschen durch die Technik, wie in trans- und posthumanistischen Utopien suggeriert wird? Der vorliegende Band setzt sich mit diesen und ähnlichen Fragen in interdisziplinärer Perspektive auseinander und regt damit zur Diskussion über neue Formen menschlichen Lebens mit disruptiven Biotechnologien an.
Digitale Technik für ambulante Pflege und Therapie III
Wie können Roboter bei ambulanten Pflege- und Therapiemaßnahmen nach einem Schlaganfall helfen? Die Beiträger*innen fassen die Ergebnisse des Forschungsprojekts »DeinHaus 4.0 Oberpfalz« zusammen, bei dem interdisziplinäre Forscher*innen im Rahmen einer Längsschnittstudie den Einsatz von Telepräsenzrobotern empirisch untersuchen. Die unterschiedlichen Perspektiven der angewandten Ethik, E-Health, Logopädie, Physiotherapie, Pflegewissenschaft, Soziologie und Technikfolgenabschätzung legen nahe: Die Digitalisierung lässt sich gewinnbringend zur Unterstützung der Gesundheitsversorgung einsetzen.
