Encyclopedia of Medical Devices and Instrumentation John G. Webster, Editor-in-Chief This comprehensive encyclopedia, the work of more than 400 contributors, includes 266 articles on devices and instrumentation that are currently or likely to be useful in medicine and biomedical engineering. The four volumes include 3,022 pages of text that concentrates on how technology assists the branches of medicine. The articles emphasize the contributions of engineering, physics, and computers to each of the general areas of medicine, and are designed not for peers, but rather for workers from related fields who wish to take a first look at what is important in the subject. Highly recommended for university biomedical engineering and medical reference collections, and for anyone with a science background or an interest in technology. Includes a 78-page index, cross-references, and high-quality diagrams, illustrations, and photographs. 1988 (0 471-82936-6) 4-Volume Set Introduction to Radiological Physics and Radiation Dosimetry Frank Herbert Attix provides complete and useful coverage of radiological physics. Unlike most treatments of the subject, it encompasses radiation dosimetry in general, rather than discussing only its applications in medical or health physics. The treatment flows logically from basics to more advanced topics. Coverage extends through radiation interactions to cavity theories and dosimetry of X-rays, charged particles, and neutrons. Several important subjects that have never been thoroughly analyzed in the literature are treated here in detail, such as charged-particle equilibrium, broad-beam attenuation and geometries, derivation of the Kramers X-ray spectrum, and the reciprocity theorem, which is also extended to the nonisotropic homogeneous case. 1986 (0 471-01146-0) 607 pp. Medical Physics John R. Cameron and James G. Skofronick This detailed text describes medical physics in a simple, straightforward manner. It discusses the physical principles involved in the control and functon of organs and organ systems such as the eyes, ears, lungs, heart, and circulatory system. There is also coverage of the application of mechanics, heat, light, sound, electricity, and magnetism to medicine, particularly of the various instruments used for the diagnosis and treatment of disease. 1978 (0 471-13131-8) 615 pp.

The catheter introducers

Mobium Press

During the last two decades, many new techniques and devices have appeared for measuring blood pressure both directly and indi rectly. At present, there is no single source for this information; nor is there information on the accuracy and sources of error expected with these technologies. It is for this reason that the present book was written. Divided into three parts: direct measurement, indirect (noninvasive) measurement, and history, the book is directed toward a broad audience in the medical and biological sciences. Physicians, nurses, medical students, and psychologists, as well as technical persons in the health care field will find Part One of considerable practical value, because it deals with the subject of the accuracy and fidelity of reproduction of blood pressure waveforms tha t they regularly view on monitors. The definitions of systolic, mean, diastolic, and capillary wedge pressures are illustrated and discussed. The pressures and waveforms at different sites in the cardiovascular system are described in detail. Then the various types of devices for measuring blood pressure are described and thoroughly illustrated. The effect of length and internal diameter of a catheter is analyzed to illustrate how fidelity of reproduction is affected. Simple tests are described that show the reader how to determine the performance characteristics of a catheter-transducer system. The characteristics of catheter-tip transducers are presented, and Part One concludes with a discussion of the rate of change of pressure (dP/dt), what it means, and how such a recording can be calibrated.

This comprehensive guide will provide you with an in-depth look into the medical and bioengineering aspects of electrical injuries.
 The book is divided into five sections. Each section outlines a different aspect of electrical injuries. Section one covers the medical aspects of these injuries with a focus on diagnosis and treatment, section two discusses the bioengineering aspects with an emphasis on electrical theory and human physiology, section three goes into greater detail about the injuries that can occur to different anatomic locations of the body, section four describes the source of electricity that can lead to injury, and section five is devoted to accident reconstruction. Topics include: 
Characteristics and mechanics of blast injury 
Treatment of brain and spinal cord injury 
Teflex sympathetic dystrophy and causalgia 
Basic concepts in electrical injury 
The physiology of cardiopulmonary resuscitation 
The heart: background information with an emphasis on electrical issues 
Initial priorities at the accident scene and in the emergency department 
Subtle diagnostic and prognostic factors in electrical accidents 
Electroconvulsive therapy (EST or ECT) 
Stimulators: historical and technical aspects 
and much more

Lawyers & Judges Pub Co

This enhanced second edition of the unique Medical Device Accidents gives you even more useful information about problems that can occur with a medical device. This book is filled with information, examples and case studies that will help you win any medical suit involving devices. Written with attorneys, expert witnesses, clinical engineers, nurses, physicians, manufacturers and designers of new medical devices in mind, this excellent resource will answer all of your questions about these devices. Leslie Geddes has fifty years of experience in his field. New in this edition: entire chapters devoted to catheter electrodes, transdermal drug transport and pain suppression by electrical stimulation, with discussions of their side effects and hazards. This second edition of Medical Device Accidents is about 150 percent as long as the first edition and contains many more case studies and examples that should help you with any medical device accident case you encounter. In this information-packed volume, you will find out the consequences of applying two technologies to a patient simultaneously. Discover hints, tips, and observations for expert witness testimony. Learn about real case studies, describing the kinds of injuries that can occur. Read the discussions on high frequency electric cutting, describing injuries caused by burning, bowel gas explosions, and circumcision. Medical Device Accidents will tell you all about the intended use of a product and criteria for establishing a product defect or a design defect. It describes the customer's expectations of a product and the responsibility of a manufacturer. It goes into depth on electrosurgery, electrocautery and laser surgery. It talks about pacemakers and cellular phones and interference between devices.
