Focusing on the details of operative technique and on the issues and controversies surrounding those techniques, forty-two authorities from major national and international centers document their surgical practices and review their surgical practices and review their results in this book. With reference to more than 500 illustrations and tables, the authors explain minute but significant intraoperative procedures and events, they warn against pitfalls, and they assess the state of surgical affairs and offer advice on the basis of long, fruitful, and innovative experience. Hardbound, 350 pages, more than 500 tables and figures, thoroughly referenced and indexed.

Vascular Technology Review

This atlas is a practical guide to duplex ultrasonography of the peripheral vascular system of the neck, extremities, and abdomen. It is intended primarily for vascular technologists, ultrasonographers, radiologists, and vascular sugeons. General surgeons, neurologists, cardiologists, and other surgical and medical undergraduates and postgraduates may also find one or more of the sections to be of use. The atlas reviews, concisely and system by system, the signs, symptoms, anatomy, pathophysiology, and diagnostic and therapeutic modalities for particular clinical problems. It specifies technical protocols for performing duplex studies, including initial and follow-up evaluations. Because the treatment of many vascular conditions is surgical, it includes intraoperative as well as pre- and post-operative examples. And it offers advice on identifying anatomic landmarks, differentiating vessels, keeping pertinent vessels in view, avoiding pitfalls, and interpreting unusual findings. Theory has been included but subordinated to matters of technique and practice. 402 images. 185 pp. In form, the atlas is divided into four parts: 1. Arterial scanning (neck, lower and upper extremities, and abdomen) 2. Venous scanning (lower and upper extremities) 3. Special studies 4. Color flow imaging

Surgery Review: A Self-Assessment Study Manual

Eleven authorities from the University of Pittsburgh and the Children s Hospital of Pittsburgh link anatomy, physiology, pharmacology, neonatal medicine, and anesthetic practice in a single, definitive, well-referenced textbook of neonatal anesthesiology. There are substantive anatomic, physiologic, and pharmacologic differences between the infant or small child and the adult. Rapid, profound physiologic and pharmacologic changes occur during the neonatal period. Congenital anomalies that are incompatible with life unless surgically corrected are common, as are less life-threatening conditions; many infants are premature or small for their gestational age. Optimal care of the surgical neonate demands expeditious preoperative evaluation and resuscitation and refined, highly sophisticated intraoperative and postoperative care. Such care is best provided by pediatric anesthesiologists, pediatric surgeons, and pediatric intensivists working as colleagues. This book provides a sound scientific, clinical, and technical foundation for that effort. Neonatal physiology and pharmacology, the principles of neonatal anesthetic technique and their application to specific surgical conditions, and postoperative intensive care of the critically ill neonate are all discussed in considerable detail. Coverage includes cardiovascular physiology of the fetus and newborn, respiratory physiology, persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn, thermoregulation, parenteral fluid therapy, pediatric anesthetic pharmacology, pediatric breathing circuits, basic neonatal anesthesia and monitoring, common surgical conditions of the newborn, neonatal resuscitation, respiratory care, and ethics. Hardbound, 241 pp, illustrations.

Neonatal Anesthesia

D. Ryan Cook

Here is the perfect introduction to vascular and physiology for students, vascular and radiology technologists, sonographers, nurses, and others who seek a clear and simple presentation of the facts they must know to pass their certification examinations and to discharge their daily clinical responsibilities. There is a wealth of information on standard anatomic terminology, micro anatomy, gross anatomy, the cardiopulmonary and systemic circulations, and arterial and venous hemodynamics. All of it is presented with the clarity, simplicity, and practicality that are the hallmarks of Ms. Belanger’s style. Clinical implications are always emphasized: How, where, and why do you palpate a pulse? What exactly is an anteroposterior view? A midsagittal section? What does one do with a transducer in order to move it medially or cephalad? How does Poiseuille’s law help us understand blood flow data? What happens when the carotid sinus is massaged? Why? Coverage of these and a multitude of other topics includes terminology, micro anatomy and physiology of the blood vessels, gross anatomy and physiology of the cardiopulmonary and peripheral circulations, characteristics of arterial blood flow, energy concepts, arterial pressure and flow, mechanisms of control, venous pressure and flow, and the venous valves and leg muscles. This large-format manual contains reviews at the end of each chapter, self-assessment quizzes at the end of the book, a bibliography, and a detailed index.
