This volume is a comprehensive, state-of-the-art review for
clinicians with an interest in the peri-operative nutritional
management of all surgical patients. The text reviews normal
physiology, the pathophysiology of starvation and surgical
stressors, and focuses on appropriate nutritional repletion for
various common disease states. Specifically, the text addresses the
severe metabolic demands created by systemic inflammation,
infection, and major insults such as trauma and burns. In addition,
the book addresses the growing problem of obesity in surgical
populations, including appropriate strategies directed towards the
metabolic management of these patients. The text is designed for
clinicians across levels of training and provides clear and concise
evidence based guidelines for the metabolic management and
nutritional support of the surgical patient. Written by experts in
the field, Surgical Metabolism: The Metabolic Care of the Surgical
Patient is a valuable resource for all clinicians involved in the
care of the critically ill.
Unique book provides comprehensive discussion of MIS versus
traditional techniques in modern Acute Care Surgery The combination
of a surgeon shortage and poor access to emergency surgical care
led to establishment of the Acute Care Surgery paradigm and
subspecialty in 2003. Concurrently, minimally invasive approaches
revolutionized surgical practice in the 21st century. In the U.S.,
acute care surgeons stand at the front line of patient care for
emergency general surgery, trauma, and surgical critical care, and
thus are positioned to positively impact healthcare delivery and
costs. Surgical Decision Making in Acute Care Surgery by renowned
surgeons Kimberly Davis and Raul Coimbra is the first text that
comprehensively discusses when to use minimally invasive techniques
and advanced technology versus traditional open procedures in acute
traumatic and non-traumatic surgical emergencies. The text begins
with three opening chapters covering the background of the Acute
Care Surgery subspecialty, anatomic and physiological
considerations, and the impact of acute surgical illness on pre-
and post-operative critical care decisions. Subsequent chapters
outline surgical approaches for commonly encountered acute
conditions. Trauma chapters cover interventions for cervical, blunt
and penetrating abdominal, and thoracic injuries. Emergency general
surgery topics run the gamut from appendicitis to emergency
management of paraesophageal hernias and esophageal perforations.
An impressive group of senior surgeons and younger rising stars in
American surgery share their expertise throughout the book. Key
Highlights Disease-specific chapters include epidemiology,
pathogenesis, diagnostic tools, treatment strategies, surgical
techniques, cost analyses, complications, and national guidelines
where available Subchapters feature expert commentary on preceding
chapters, including clinical pearls and controversies (e.g.
operative vs. nonoperative management) In-depth discussion of
surgical decision making encompasses the type of surgical approach,
as well as indications and contraindications for MIS The roles of
MIS procedures such as laparoscopy, thoracoscopy, radiology-based
percutaneous techniques, as well as endovascular surgery are
examined The quintessential resource on contemporary Acute Care
Surgery practice, this is a must-read for residents, junior
faculty, and practicing surgeons in this discipline. This book
includes complimentary access to a digital copy on
