Therapie Mit Blutkomponenten (German, Paperback): F.W Ahnefeld Therapie Mit Blutkomponenten (German, Paperback)
F.W Ahnefeld
R1,988 Discovery Miles 19 880 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

UEber das fur dieses Workshop ausgewahlte Thema Therapie mit Blutkomponenten ist in den zuruckliegenden Jahren auf Kongressen und Symposien immer wieder be- richtet und diskutiert worden, es entstand eine reichhaltige Literatur. Spezialisten unterschiedlicher Herkunft haben ihre Erkenntnisse dargestellt und Empfehlungen abgegeben. Bei einer kritischen Sichtung der Aussagen beherrschen, wie in der mo- demen Wissenschaft immer haufiger, Schlagworte die Szene, die zu entsprechenden Polarisierungen der Auffassungen fuhrten. Auch in diesem Bereich erscheint unter anderem die Klarung der Frage notwendig, was bei Abwagung der Kosten in Relation und Anforderungen sinnvoll und moeglich und auf grund der zu den Bedurfnissen Weiterentwicklung der Medizin wunschenswert oder erforderlich ist. Verstandlicher- weise stehen fur die Transfusionsmediziner andere Probleme im Vordergrund als fur den Kliniker, ja selbst in diesen beiden Gruppen bewirken unterschiedliche Voraus- setzungen, wie sie bei oertlichen und regionalen Blutspendediensten bestehen, oder auch ein unterschiedliches Krankengut Kontroversen oder zumindest andere Bewer- tungsmassstabe. Ohne einen standigen Erfahrungsaustausch und eine enge Kooperation ist die Loesung der anstehenden Probleme nicht moeglich. Experten sind heute nicht nur aufgerufen, die Weiterentwicklung auf allen medizinischen Gebieten voranzutreiben, sie mussen in Zwischenbilanzen auch uberprufen, ob sich ihre Vorstellungen im klini- schen Alltag, also an jedem Krankenhaus, realisieren lassen. Ohne eine solche kritische Bestandsaufnahme reden wir eher aneinander vorbei; die von allen gewunschte positive Entwicklung wird durch eine Verunsicherung ersetzt. Wir durfen insbesondere nicht vergessen, dass sich unsere Aufgaben, z. B. in der operativen Medizin, in den letzten zehn Jahren weiter und wesentlich verandert haben.

Kreislaufschock (German, Paperback): J. B. Bruckner Kreislaufschock (German, Paperback)
J. B. Bruckner
R2,148 Discovery Miles 21 480 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Das Syndrom des Kreislaufschocks kann durch viele, sehr unterschiedliche Ursachen ausge- loest werden: Trauma, Blutverlust, Infektion, Versagen der Pumpfunktion des Herzens, Ver- giftungen, Antigenreaktionen seien hier genannt, um haufige Schockursachen aufzuzahlen. Das schockausloesende Moment mindert die Sauerstoffversorgung des Organismus, resultie- rende Regelmechanismen zielen auf Kompensation dieser Stoergroesse. Die Summe aller Reak- tionen, die der Schockursache folgen, direkte Schaden und feedback-Mechanismen, die so- wohl den Sauerstoffmangel verbessern aber auch verschlimmern koennen, bilden letztlich das klinische Bild des Kreislaufschocks. Schock ist ein ausgepragt dynamisches Geschehen, die pathophysiologischen Veranderungen koennen je nach gewahltem Beobachtungszeitpunkt eine sehr unterschiedliche Auspragung aufweisen. Von einem bestimmten Schweregrad der Schadigung oder auch der Dauer des Sauerstoffmangels an wird die UEberlebenschance im- mer kleiner: Der Schock mundet in das therapieresistente irreversible Stadium. Bei der Vielzahl moeglicher Schockursachen und der Haufigkeit des Syndroms uberrascht es nicht, dass hier die Forschung einen grossen Stellenwert hat und in verschiedenen Spezial- gebieten der Medizin Beitrage dazu erfolgen. Leider ist trotz dieser vielfaltigen Bemuhun- gen unser Wissen um die pathophysiologischen Zusammenhange des Schocks noch immer sehr luckenhaft. Wenn es auch in den letzten Jahren gelang, dem Arzt wichtige therapeuti- sche Hilfsmittel-Volumenersatz und Beatmung seien hier als Beispiele genannt - in die Hand zu geben, so sterben immer noch viele unserer Patienten im schweren Schock, ohne dass wir in der Lage sind, das Geschehen aufzuhalten.

Die Kontinuierliche Lumbale Epiduralanaesthesie (German, Paperback): J Neumark Die Kontinuierliche Lumbale Epiduralanaesthesie (German, Paperback)
J Neumark
R1,950 Discovery Miles 19 500 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Ais Dr. J. Neumark im Sommer 1974 von einem ein und einhalbjahrigen Studienaufenthalt in den USA nach Wien zuriickkehrte, beauftragte ich ihn mit der Verbesserung und moglichsten Standardisierung der Anaesthesiemethoden in der Geburtshilfe in unserem Klinikum. Er hat sich seither dieser Aufgabe mit gro er Hingabe unterzogen und es ist zweifellos sein Verdienst, die kontinuierliche lumbale Epiduralanaesthesie als geburtshilfliche Schmerzausschaltungsme- thode in Osterreich eingeflihrt, propagiert und gelehrt zu haben. Mit zunehmender Vertiefung in die theoretischen und praktischen Aspekte dieser Methode wurde es Herm Neumarkjedoch immer deutlicher bewu t, d noch viele Fragen offen wa- ren und einer wissenschaftlichen Bearbeitung bedurften. Umfangreiches Literaturstudium er- gab zwar, d viele Teilaspekte (z. B. Technik, Pharmakologie, Kreislaufdynamik) bereits durchforscht worden waren - wobei z. T. sehr widerspriichliche Resultate zutage traten -, d es aber an einer kritischen Sichtung und zusammenfassenden Bewertung mangelte. Ich bestarkte daher Herm Kollegen Neumark vor etwa zwei Jahren in seiner Idee, diesem Mangel abzuhelfen und eine Monographie zu verfassen, die auch seine eigenen Erfahrungen und expe- rimentellen Erkenntnisse mit einbeziehen sollten. Was uns dabei vorschwebte, war eine Me- thode, die sich nicht nur in der Geburtshilfe, sondem auch aufvielen anderen Gebieten der operativen Medizin bewahrt hatte, kritisch zu durchleuchten, ihre Moglichkeiten und Grenzen darzulegen und dies einem gro eren Kollegenkreis zur Kenntnis zu bringen.

Die Entwicklung langwirksamer, gering toxischer Lokalanaesthetika sowie die Weiterentwicklung der Kathertechnik haben in den letzten Jahren eine Renaissance der gro en riickenmarksnahen Leitungsan- aesthesien bewirkt. Dieses stiindig wachsende Interesse flihrte im Juni 1978 interna- tionale Experten zu einem ersten Symposium in Dtisseldorf zusam- men, urn tiber neue Aspekte in der Regionalanaesthesie zu diskutieren. In diesem Band sind die 24 Vortrage zusammengef t, die zu den drei Themenkreisen tiber die Wirkung der Epiduralanaesthesie auf Herz und Kreislauf, tiber den Einflu der Epiduralanaesthesie bzw. der Allgemeinnarkose au(Stressreaktionen wahrend der Opera- tion sowie tiber die postoperative Fortsetzung der Epiduralanaesthe- sie in ihrer Auswirkung auf die Atemfunktion und die Haufigkeit von Lungenkomplikationen gehalten wurden. Anhand der weitgehend neuen Erkenntnissen wurden die Vor- und Nachteile der Epiduralanaesthesie im Vergleich zur Allgemein- narkose, insbesondere beim Risikopatienten, herausgearbeitet. Den Erfolg dieses Symposiums danken wir den informativen und interessanten Beitragen der Referenten und Diskussionsteilnehmer sowie der gro ziigigen Unterstiitzung durch die Firma Astra Chemi- cals, Wedel/Holst. Die vorgetragenen Ergebnisse dieses Symposiums werden den praktisch tiitigenAnaesthesisten in der Hoffnung zuganglich gemacht, d sie aus den neuesten Erkenntnissen der internationalen F orschung Anregungen zur Verb esse rung der taglichen Routine erhalten.

This is a book for clinician educators. It offers modern, evidence-based practices to use in teaching learners at a range of levels, with an emphasis on concrete strategies that teachers can implement in their own clinical practices as well as in small and large group settings. Medical education is rapidly changing with emerging evidence on best practices and a proliferation of new technologies. As strategies for effectively teaching medical learners evolve, it is important to understand the implications for Pulmonary, Critical Care, and Sleep Medicine (PCCM). This text is structured to allow easy access to the reader. Chapters are organized around level of learner (e.g., medical student to PCCM fellow to practicing physicians) as well as the location of teaching. Given the variety of clinical settings in which PCCM physicians teach, specific consideration of best practices, broad changes in curricular design and pedagogy are considered in different clinical contexts. Each chapter begins with a focus on why the topic is important for clinician educators. A review of the available evidence and relevant medical education theory about the topic follows, with examples from specific studies that provide insight into best practices regarding the concepts and topics discussed in the chapter. For chapters focusing on learners, different environments are considered and similarly, if the focus is on the learning environment, attention is paid to the approach to different learners. Each chapter ends with a summary of the primary points from the chapter and concrete examples of how clinician teachers can put the concepts discussed in the chapter into practice. This is an ideal guide for educators in pulmonary, critical care, and sleep medicine.
