Surgical Metabolism: The Metabolic Care of the Surgical Patient 2nd Edition (2020) (PDF) by Kimberly A. Davis

Description

The goal of this book is not to follow a traditional systems or organ-based approach but rather to encourage our readers to think of the patients as complex biochemical systems. The book provides information that supplements the more traditional approaches and provides a detailed overview of the metabolic knowledge needed for surgical practice. The text reviews normal physiology, the pathophysiology of starvation and surgical stressors. It also focuses on appropriate nutritional repletion for various common disease states. Specifically, chapters address the severe metabolic demands created by systemic inflammation, infection, and major insults such as trauma and burns. All chapters are written by experts in their fields and include the most up-to-date scientific and clinical information. As biochemical aspects of modern medicine are advancing rapidly, chapters have been updated and several new chapters have been added in order to help readers keep pace in this race for state-of-the-art knowledge.

User’s Reviews

Review “This book is a reference guide for everyone working within a field of perioperative medicine that brings together useful clinical information. It emphasizes the importance of metabolic care and provides up-to-date systematized evidence-based recommendations on nutrition for surgical patients.” (Elena Ashikhmin, Anesthesia & Analgesia, Vol. 131 (5), November, 2020)“This book will be useful to practicing surgeons and surgical residents and fellows primarily in general surgery and the subspecialties under that heading. Advanced practitioners and trainees alike will find a wealth of information they can apply to patient care. … This is a slim, readable, yet comprehensive contribution to the field. The nonspecialist (that is, the surgeon who does not spend 100% of their career dealing with metabolic issues) will find it an extremely useful reference.” (Carol Scott-Conner, Doody’s Book Reviews, July 3, 2020) From the Back Cover The goal of this book is not to follow a traditional systems or organ-based approach but rather to encourage our readers to think of the patients as complex biochemical systems.
