"Healthcare-associated infection takes a heavy toll on patients, and negatively affects hospitals themselves, both financially and psychologically. Proven technical approaches to prevent infection have often faltered because of the failure of hospital staff to adopt them. This book focuses on these adaptive problems, particularly as experienced during efforts to combat catheter-associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI), central line-associated bloodstream infection (CLABSI), and Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI). It provides a step-by-step description of a model quality improvement intervention, explaining why clinicians neglect or actively oppose such initiatives and how to change their minds. The focus is on preventing CAUTI, which has proven far more resistant to quality improvement efforts than CLABSI. The CAUTI intervention framework is also broadly applicable to a variety of other hospital issues including preventing falls and Clostridioides difficile infection. The solutions presented grow out of the extensive research by the clinical authors and their colleagues at the University of Michigan and VA Ann Arbor Healthcare System"--
In easy-to-read, user-friendly language, Preventing Hospital Infections leads readers through a step-by-step description of a quality improvement intervention as it might unfold in a model hospital, pinpointing the likely obstacles and offering practical strategies for how to surmount them. The text draws on the extensive personal clinical experience of the authors, including examples, anecdotes, and down-to-earth, practical guidance.

An authoritative, comprehensive, and accessible cardiology textbook that caters to the needs of trainees and practicing cardiologists. Cardiovascular disease is now the largest contributor to global mortality. Low and middle income countries. (Lmics) presently bear the brunt of this global epidemic, accounting for over three quarters of cardiovascular deaths and 90% of these deaths under 70 years of age. The experience and expertise of health professionals in these countries will therefore be the principal determinant of global success in countering and curbing the global cardiovascular epidemic in the coming decades. This book covers the fundamentals of cardiology in depth, to provide conceptual clarity, and delves into specific cardiovascular disorders with detailed descriptions that range from aetiology and pathophysiology to evidence informed approaches to diagnosis and management. It does all of this by blending contextual relevance with uncompromising academic rigor.

Central venous catheters (CVC) are vital for patients receiving chemotherapy not compatible with peripheral infusion. Thousands of centrally and peripherally inserted central venous catheters are inserted into patients with cancer each year. All types of intravascular catheters are associated with complications. These complications may be divided into infectious, thrombotic, mechanical and occlusive events. All of these events have the potential to harm patients and cause additional expense for the health-care system. Furthermore, the above-mentioned complications are largely avoidable through proper patient selection, insertion technique, hygiene precautions and catheter maintenance. Cathet...
