This narrative review updates interventions to decrease serious complications (cardiovascular collapse, hypoxemia) associated with tracheal intubation in the critically ill. It covers preoxygenation methods (using PEEP and inspiratory support), apneic oxygenation (using high-flow nasal oxygen), the use of scores like MACOCHA, hemodynamic optimization, and the adoption of airway management algorithms and videolaryngoscopes in the ICU setting.
This book discusses the latest advances in meniscal repair, meniscal allograft transplantation, and the treatment of patellofemoral (PF) osteoarthritis (OA) by arthroplasty. It compares PF arthroplasty to total knee arthroplasty (TKA) for isolated PF OA, reviews unicompartmental arthroplasty, and analyzes TKA results after proximal tibia fracture, in patients with severe obesity, and in patients younger than 55 years. The book also covers fast-track primary and revision TKA, comparisons between unilateral and simultaneous bilateral TKA, mobile and fixed bearing TKA, and management of knee periprosthetic joint infection.
This book addresses the growing awareness that preanalytical issues account for over 70% of so-called laboratory errors, affecting the quality of medical laboratory results. It provides an up-to-date perspective on the preanalytical phase, covering procedures, standardization, and quality assurance programs for experts in laboratory diagnostics.
A comprehensive analysis of foundational and cutting-edge topics in clinical dentistry, derived from the expertise of leading researchers in the field.
A comprehensive guide providing the state of the art regarding all available arthroscopic techniques, divided per joint. It covers the diagnosis and treatment of a wide range of orthopedic diseases, promoting benefits like pain reduction and faster recovery.
This volume, part of the Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology series, focuses specifically on Human Brain and Spinal Cord Tumors, exploring the intersection of Neuroimmunology and Neurogenetics. It offers contemporary research and emerging topics in basic and clinical science concerning neurosciences, immunology, genetics, and cancer research related to these specific malignancies.
The official resource for standardized NANDA-I nursing diagnoses, providing definitions, classifications (Taxonomy II structure), defining characteristics, and related factors for diagnoses approved for use in clinical practice, documentation, and education during the 2018-2020 cycle.
Wavefront aberrometry is an innovative technique for measuring the complete refractive status of an optical system. This introduction explains its use in ophthalmic clinical practice, focusing on how it measures and accounts for higher order optical aberrations beyond standard sphero-cylindrical corrections.
