Description
This book focuses exclusively on the surgical patient and on the perioperative environment with its unique socio-technical and cultural issues. It covers preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative processes and decision making and explores both sharp-end and latent factors contributing to harm and poor quality outcomes. It is intended to be a resource for all healthcare practitioners that interact with the surgical patient. This book provides a framework for understanding and addressing many of the organizational, technical, and cultural aspects of care to one of the most vulnerable patients in the system, the surgical patient. The first section presents foundational principles of safety science and related social science. The second exposes barriers to achieving optimal surgical outcomes and details the various errors and events that occur in the perioperative environment. The third section contains prescriptive and proactive tools and ways to eliminate errors and harm. The final section focuses on developing continuous quality improvement programs with an emphasis on safety and reliability.
Reviews
This is a comprehensive atlas and reference textbook on hydrocephalus in embryonic, fetal, premature, neonatal, postnatal, & childhood patients. The ancient, Roman, Greek, Galenic, post-Galenic, middle age, and modern histories with the reference to HC are described with reference to instrumentation, technique, and development. The world aspects of trephination and burr holes is discussed. The role of Dandy in the evolution of classification and technique is a strong point in these books. The engineering and biomechanics of CSF flow is developed with respect to monitoring. Shunt devices, valves, treatment, complications, and relative indications are comprehensively considered. Ventriculostomy, stents, endoscopic, and drainage of fluid are considered in separate chapters. Anatomy and biomechanical considerations by Pickard’s Group at Cambridge’s Addenbrookes Hospital provides a worthy basic science coverage.
