The first exclusive guide to the management of the difficult and failed airway -- presented by a team of international experts A Doody's Core Title for 2011! 4 STAR DOODY'S REVIEW! "The purpose is to present a consistent approach to the difficult and failed airway in all clinical settings. The potentially catastrophic consequences of failed airway management make this a vitally important goal, and the authors have produced a book that teaches how to avoid or minimize these risks....This well written book provides a well integrated approach to the management of difficult airways. It remains readable while being comprehensive. It certainly should be required reading for any clinician involved in airway management."--Doody's Review Service Edited by two of the field's luminaries, Management of the Difficult and Failed Airway brings together international experts who offer essential, never-before-published insights into the identification and management of difficult and failed airways. No other text has ever presented the fundamental principles of airway assessment and management, along with a consistent, case-based approach to the difficult and failed airway in all clinical settings: in the field, the emergency department, on the wards and ICU's, and in perioperative settings. Multidisciplinary in scope, Management of the Difficult and Failed Airway encompasses the key areas of anesthesia, hospitalists, intensivists, emergency medicine, and paramedicine. Features: <ul>
<li> Skill-building insights that cover all devices and skills required to handle most difficult and failed airways </li>
<li>Mnemonics and easy-to-follow algorithms in nearly every chapter </li>
<li>Engaging chapter-ending questions and answers </li>
<li>Logical four-section organization: devices, techniques, difficult populations, and “practical considerations” </li>
<li>Illustrated with color photographs throughout </li>
<li>Conversational writing style, with headings phrased as questions commonly raised by physicians and practitioners-in-training </li>
<li>The ideal accompaniment to “The Difficult Airway Course,” conducted by the editors </li>
<li>Companion DVD with videos of airway techniques and devices</li>

Meet the clinical challenge of the difficult and failed airway with this updated full-color guide
A Doody's Core Title for 2015!
Includes DVD with airway techniques!
"This beautifully illustrated and extensively referenced textbook provides a comprehensive review of the available options for airway management....For the busy clinician, this book provides the most up-to-date review available of the many innovations that have been introduced in the past 10 years."--Steven L. Shafer, MD, Columbia University
Written by the founders of The Difficult Airway Course: Anesthesia™ and utilizing an instructive case-based approach, this text/DVD presents all of the leading-edge principles, tools, and procedures of airway assessment and management. The scope of the book encompasses the many airway devices that have been developed since the publication of the first edition, many of which have the potential to markedly enhance airway management.
Extensively revised and updated, the second edition of Management of the Difficult and Failed Airway emphasizes how airway management is context-sensitive: included are strategies for treating patients in a range of settings, from prehospital care to the ER, as well as proven techniques for special patient populations. In addition, new chapters have been added to further refresh the book’s content and provide you with a solid grasp of the most critical topics in this fast-evolving area.
The book’s effective organization has been maintained, beginning with the first section’s focus on the basic foundations of difficult and failed airway management. The second section reviews must-know airway devices and techniques, while the third part of the text introduces case studies that thoroughly examine the application of these techniques in complex clinical situations. A final section covers the practical considerations, such as difficult airway carts and teaching and simulation in airway management.
FEATURES
<ul>
<li>Skill-building, case-based approach highlights the right tools and techniques for stabilizing the patient, plus important safety precautions relevant to the clinical setting </li>
<li>New “context-sensitive” focus links airway techniques to specific clinical environments, including airway cases in prehospital care, the emergency department, the critical care unit, and the operating room</li>
<li>Essential new chapters cover the fundamental principles of bag-mask-ventilation, single lung ventilation using double lumen tubes, and airway management in austere environments, in addition to airway education and simulation</li>
<li>Mnemonics, easy-to-follow algorithms, and alternative strategies (Plan A, Plan B, etc.) in every chapter reinforce pivotal concepts </li>
<li>Chapter-ending questions offer effective self-assessment</li>
<li>Accompanying DVD with instructive video visually explains common procedures in a learn-as-you-go style</li>

Since its first publication, Golf in the Kingdom has been recognized as a classic work on the deeper mysteries of golf—a gospel of those who suspect, or know, that golf is more than a mere pastime.A young man en route to India stops in Scotland to play at the legendary Burningbush golf club and in twenty-four hours, his life is transformed. Paired with a mysterious teacher named Shivas Irons, he is led through a round of phenomenal golf, swept into a world where extraordinary powers are unleashed in a a backswing governed by true gravity. A night of adventure and revelation follow, and lead to a glimpse of Seamus MacDuff, the holy man who haunts a ravine off Burningbush's thirteenth fairway—one they call Lucifer's Rug.Murphy's account reveals the possibilities for transcendence that resides in the human soul, and through mystic-philosopher Shivas Irons, the reader, like Murphy, becomes drawn into new worlds by this ancient and haunting game.

This book is designed to meet the needs of the vascular trainee. It can be carried in the pocket for easy access and provides practical advice on all commonly encountered peripheral vascular problems. It focuses on surgical detail, but also carried background information on presentation and details on preoperative investigation and postoperative management. The book gives relevant information for use when seeking patient consent. Each operation carries an OPCS code, increasingly important in recording surgical activity. Alternative interventions are given, including both radiological procedures and medical management where appropriate; an important approach given the evolving vascular specialist who has responsibility in all three fields. It informs the vascular trainee from their earliest encounter with the area to those completing their fellowship. It should also be of interest to the PRHO on the vascular ward, the specialist vascular nurse, the vascular anaesthetist, the intensivist and the vascular radiologist.
