Case Studies of Near Misses in Clinical Anesthesia

All anesthesiologists eventually face the fear of a “near miss,” when a patient’s life has been put at risk. Learning from the experience is crucial to professionalism and the ongoing develop-ment of expertise. Drawing on forty-plus years of practice in major metropolitan hospitals in the United States, Norway, and South Africa, John Brock-Utne, MD presents 80 carefully selected cases that provide the basis for lessons and tips to prevent potential disaster. The cases empha-size problem-centered learning and span a broad range of topics—from an outbreak of operating room infection (could it be the anesthesia equip-ment?), complications of fiberoptic intuba-tions, and problems with epidural drug pumps, to performing an urgent tracheostomy for the first time, working with an aggressive surgeon, and what to do when a patient falls off the operating table during surgery. 80 true-story clinical “near misses” never before published, ideal for problem-centered learning, recommendations, references, and discussions accompany most cases, rich basis for teaching discussions both in or out of the operating room, settings include sophisticated as well as rudimentary anesthetic environments, complements the author’s other case book, Clinical Anesthesia: Near Misses and Lessons Learned (Springer, 2008).

Endemic CretinismResponding to a renewed interest in the growing problem of iodine deficiency worldwide, Drs. Charles Oxnard and Peter Obendorf, along with experienced translator and anatomist John Dennison, take a fresh look at the classic text, Der endemische Kretinismus, published in 1936 by Springer. Translated here for the first time into English, this landmark text will be a welcome resource for researchers confronting the problem of iodine deficiency. Oxnard and Obendorf point out that there is very little detailed knowledge or numerical data on cretinism available in the English-speaking world. In addition, highly-renowned Professor Basil S. Hetzel, recently-retired World Health Organization Chairman of the International Council for Control of Iodine Deficiency Disorders, published in 2009 with Dr Chen Zu-pei on the resurgence of iodine deficiency in China. Indeed, throughout the entire developing world there may be as many as two billion people at risk to iodine deficiency; perhaps three quarters of a billion have goiter, and ten million may be cretins. Even in devel-oped countries, iodine deficiency is re-emerging (as in New South Wales in 19% of children) with the result of significantly reduced numbers of gifted children (though this is not cretinism per se). Certain to be of significant interest to a wide range of researchers, health providers and profes-sionals, including government health administra-tors, this English translation of Endemic Cretinism is a major contribution to the literature.

Features7 First English language translation of classic text 7 Still the most authoritative and comprehen-sive account of endemic cretinism 7 Edited by renowned experts

Humidification in the Intensive Care UnitThe Essentials

Inadequate humidification of inspired gases can cause a variety of serious problems, and humidi-fication has accordingly become an important aspect of modern intensive care medicine. This book is designed to serve as a practical guide for clinicians, providing information on the theoret-ical background of humidification, the equipment, and its optimal use. The book starts by examining the physiological basis of humidification. Current devices are then discussed, with careful atten-tion to factors influencing their performance and methods to evaluate their effectiveness. The two scenarios of mechanical and non-mechanical ventilation are considered, and the issue of venti-lator-associated pneumonia is addressed in detail. Further chapters focus on such topics as humidi-fication following tracheostomy, humidification of the artificial airway during secretion manage-ment, measurement of inspired gas temperature in the ventilated neonate, and humidification in the home care setting.

Antibiotic Policies:Controlling Hospital Acquired Infection

The first book was on “Theory and Practice” of antibiotic stewardship in its broadest sense -the how to do it and the do’s and don’ts. The second, on “Controlling resistance” was very much on the relationships between use and resistance and beginning to home in on the hospital as the main generator of resistance, but mainly looking at it from a disease/clinical perspective. The last 3 chap-ters on MRSA, ended where the 3rd book will take off. “Controlling HAI “ will concentrate on specific MDR organisms highlighting their roles in the current pandemic of HAI and emphasizing that the big issue is not so much infection control but antibiotic control, in the same way that antibiotic over-reliance/ over-use has caused the problem in the first place. Up ‘till now the emphasis for controlling MRSA, C diff and all the other MDROs has very much been on IC, which clearly isn’t working. This book will gather all the evidence for the increasingly popular view that much more must be done in the area of antibiotic policies/ stewardship, especially when we are in danger of a “post antibiotic” era, due to a real shortage of new agents in the pipeline.

Features7 Explores the hypothesis that the increased use of antibiotics led subconsciously to a loss of emphasis on the importance of hygiene in the control of Hospital Acquired Infection 7 Contains chapters by acclaimed authors on all the major causes of Hospital Acquired Infection, including MRSA, VRE, Clostridium difficile and multi resistant gram negative infections which are increasingly pan-resistant and untreatableIs an excellent source of information for students, researchers and practitioners in infection control, hospital epidemiology, antimicrobial prescribing and microbiology

Stress and Cardiovascular Disease

The main aim of this book is to evaluate the concept of stress and provide tools for physicians to identify patients who might benefit from stress management. This will incorporate a detailed description of the physiological and pathophysi-ological consequences of acute and chronic stress that might lead to cardiovascular disease. The book will aim to critically evaluate interventional research (behavioural and other therapies) and provide evidence based recommendations on how to manage stress in the cardiovascular patient. Our intentions are to define and highlight stress as an etiological factor for cardiovascular disease, and to describe an evidence based “tool box” that physi-cians may use to identify and manage patients in whom stress may be an important contributing factor for their disease and their risk of suffering cardiovascular complications.

Health in Megacities and Urban Areas

Diverse driving forces, processes and actors are responsible for different trends in the development of megacities and large urban areas. Under the dynamics of global change, megacities are them-selves changing: On the one hand they are prone to increasing socio-economic vulnerability due to pronounced poverty, socio-spatial and political fragmentation, sometimes with extreme forms of segregation, disparities and conflicts. On the other hand megacities offer positive potential for global transformation, e.g. minimisation of space consumption, highly effective use of resources, efficient disaster prevention and health care options – if good strategies were developed. At present in many megacities and urban areas of the developing world and the emerging economies the quality of life is eroding. Most of the megaci-ties have grown to unprecedented size, and the pace of urbanisation has far exceeded the growth of the necessary infrastructure and services. As a result, an increasing number of urban dwellers are left without access to basic amenities like clean drinking water, fresh air and safe food. Addition-ally, social inequalities lead to subsequent and significant intra-urban health inequalities and unbalanced disease burdens that can trigger conflict and violence between subpopulations.

Features7 Gives a comprehensive and up-to-date over-view of challenges in urban health, climate change and environmental health risks 7 Written by the leading researchers from Europe and South East Asia and is a product of a longstanding and successful interdisciplinary cooperation

Tumori della testa e del colloIntegrazione terapeutica nella conservazione della funzione d’organo

I tumori maligni della testa e collo insorgono in sedi di grande complessità anatomica e funzio-nale. Proprio per questo rappresentano una sfida per tutti coloro che se ne occupano. Stili di vita che non prevedano l’uso di tabacco e l’abuso di alcolici potranno limitarne l’incidenza così come la vaccinazione contro il papilloma virus responsabile dell’insorgenza di tumori nell’orofaringe. Il fine di ottenere una ottimale possibilità di guarigione con la massima conservazione delle funzioni specifiche dell’organo è stato raggiunto nei tumori in stadio limitato, mentre nei tumori localmente avanzati questo è un punto ancora da raggiungere. Novità nella diagnostica per immagini, la radioterapia, la chirurgia, i nuovi farmaci sono disponibili oggi per migliorare le possibilità di cura, ma è soprattutto la multidisciplinarietà nella decisione clinica, l’accuratezza della programmazione terapeutica, l’efficacia nel controllo delle cure che possono offrire al paziente una vita migliore.

Features7 Finalmente un libro sui tumori della testa e del collo in italiano 7 Più di quaranta autori di fama internazionale parlano di preservazione di funzione d’organo nei tumori della testa e del collo 7 La multidisciplinarietà può dare maggiori chance di successo in campo oncologico 7 La scoperta della nuova correlazione dei tumori della testa e del collo e virus (HPV ed EBV) creano nuovi scenari nella cura dei tumori della testa e del collo

Pediatric InformaticsComputer Applications in Child Health

Now is a critical time in pediatric informatics. As information technologies—electronic health records (EHRs), personal health records (PHRs), computerized physician order entry (CPOE)—and standards (HL7) are developed to improve the quality of health care, it is imperative for policy makers and pediatricians to be aware of their impact on pediatric care and child health. Informed child advocates must be at the planning table as national and regional health informa-tion networks are developed to insure the unique health care needs of children are being met. Pediatric Informatics: Computer Applications in Child Health is a current digest of the important trends in pediatric informatics, written by leading experts in the field. This book explores how the management of biomedical data, information, and knowledge can optimize and advance child health. The contributors investigate the specific impor-tance of pediatric informatics is derived from the biological, psychological, social and cultural needs that the distinguish children from other popula-tions. These distinctions create complexities in the management of pediatric data and information that make children a vulnerable population and require the development of a new body of knowl-edge in pediatric informatics.

Controversies around treatment of the open duct

The patent ductus arteriosus continues to pose a considerable challenge to clinicians and scientists alike. Why does it close spontaneously in most infants but remain open in others? How best can we select those infants who are most likely to benefit from treatment, i.e. are there echocar-diographic criteria that would help in defining a more selective treatment approach? Would it be better to take an aggressive approach and prescribe prophylactic treatment to all extremely immature infants - and if so, what is the best way to define such a subgroup? Or should we be more restric-tive in defining treatment indications and adopt a ‘wait and see’ policy in most, if not all, premature infants? Finally, are there data to suggest that one of the treatment approaches that are available to close the patent ductus arteriosus is superior to the other? This book deals with these questions and tries to give some answers, based on the evidence currently available. It is intended for neonatolo-gists, pediatric cardiologists and researchers.

Psychological Co-morbidities of Physical IllnessA Behavioral Medicine Perspective

Evidence for the efficacy of behavioral approaches to the treatment and management of physical illness is mounting, as is the evidence for behav-ioral interventions for psychological disorders. A pressing question that remains is how to effectively treat co-morbid physical and psychological illnesses. Diseases co-occur more often than not, and the co-occurrence of physical and psycholog-ical illnesses is associated with greater impairment and healthcare costs. Unfortunately, the treatment literature has traditionally been disease-specific, with fewer insights and discoveries regarding the underlying processes of co-morbid physical and psychological illnesses, and even fewer of approaches to treatment.Research on co-morbid-ities between physical and psychological illnesses has focused primarily on depression. Quite extensive literatures describe the negative impact of depression on type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, cancer, obesity, pain, and other physical illnesses. More recently, higher rates of physical illness have been documented in individuals with bipolar disorder, anxiety disorders, schizophrenia, and impulse control disorders.

Quick Guide to the Management of KeratoconusA Systematic Step-by-Step Approach

This book, designed for ophthalmologists and particularly for refractive surgeons, aims to develop practical and clinical skills in readers so that they are able to make the right deci-sions in managing keratoconus. There are four main chapters. The first is devoted to diagnosis and describes the clinical signs, the appearances on microscopy, and the significance of corneal hysteresis and corneal topography. Classifications and patterns of keratoconus are then presented, and the author offers his own new classification of topographic patterns. The third chapter addresses the management of the disease in detail. Both non-interventional and interventional approaches are discussed with due attention to contraindications and complications. In addition, a novel classifica-tion of management parameters is suggested, and a systematic approach to management, formulated. In the final chapter this approach is applied to nine cases that serve as clinical examples.

Features7 Handy reference, ideal for use in daily practice-Covers all aspects of the diagnosis and treatment of keratoconus 7 Offers a new topographic classification of the disease, and suggests a novel systematic approach to management 7 Contains more than 100 high-quality, informative illustra-tions 7 Includes nine selected cases that promote skill development

ContentsIntroduction.- Diagnosis of Keratoconus.- Classifi-cations and Pattern of Keratoconus and Keratec-tasia.- Management of Keratoconus.- Case Studies.

Adenovirus Epithelial Keratitis and Thygeson’s Superficial Punctate KeratitisIn Vivo Morphology in the Human Cornea

Despite differences in frequency, causation, and infectivity, adenovirus epithelial keratitis and Thygeson’s superficial punctate keratitis (TSPK) are often confused in clinical practice owing to the similarity between adenovirus epithelial infiltrates and ‘coarse’ epithelial TPSK lesions. This book presents the morphological features, dynamics, and sequelae of adenovirus and Thygeson’s keratitides captured at high magnification in the living human cornea. It thereby fills the existing void between conventional photographs and slit-lamp observa-tions. Case reports demonstrate the importance of patient history in differential diagnosis, illustrate the need for familiarity with early disease manifes-tations, and assist in the diagnosis of rare variants of TSPK. Furthermore, the detailed observations on the natural course of the diseases ensure that the book will serve not only as a diagnostic tool but also as a reference when evaluating the effects of potential new treatments.

Features7 Shows how to avoid confusion between adeno-virus keratitis, herpes simplex infections, and Thygeson's keratitis 7 Contains superb images that capture morphological details of the in vivo epithelial changes in the human cornea, facilitating differential diagnosis 7 Presents sequential observations that help in understanding the mech-anisms underlying the morphological changes

From the contentsAdenovirus Epithelial Keratitis: The Morphology of Adenovirus Epithelial Keratitis.- Adenovirus Type 8 Epithelial Keratitis, Accompanying Signs and Sequelae.- Adenovirus Epithelial Keratitis Caused by Various Serotypes.- The Development of Subepithelial Infiltrates - a Sequence of Events.
