In retrospect, the dosage of IV sedatives used in the early days of
endoscopy both in the USA and Great Britain was frequently too
high. Today, we are much more careful in the way we sedate
patients, being acutely aware of the fact that if the patient
becomes unresponsive and verbal contact is lost then, by
definition, a general anaesthetic has just been administered with
all the clinical and legal implications that this holds. This
expertly written book examines all aspects of conscious sedation
and will be an essential reference for nurses and other health
professionals involved in the clinical care of patients undergoing
diagnostic or therapeutic procedures that require conscious
sedation. Each chapter covers a particular area of the practice of
conscious sedation and the authors come from a wide spectrum of
clinical specialities.
Given the increasing centrality of identity to contemporary
politics, James Skellys book provides a critical and useful
analysis of the dominant and problematic conceptual bases for self
and identity. Inspired in part by his lawsuit against the US
Secretary of Defense while serving as an active duty military
officer, Skelly argues that our use of language in the construction
of identities is unwitting, unreflective, and has engendered
horrific consequences for tens of millions of humans. In contrast,
he demonstrates our need to overcome sectarian modes of thinking
and to engage in much deeper forms of solidarity with others by
foregrounding a species identity. This book offers not only an
academic reflection on the concept of identity but one that delves
into the nature of the self and identity by drawing on Skelly's
concrete experience of attempting to present a self-identity
opposed to war in the face of the political, psychological,
religious, and legal arguments put forth in a year-long legal
battle with the United States government. One consequence is that
Skelly argues that to create a new and more pacific human
sensibility we must help ourselves and others to gain sovereignty
over our social worlds and the definition of 'who we are', by
arming individuals with the tools necessary to overcome the
definitions and categorisations we are subjected to in the
construction of traditional notions of 'identity'.
Analytical chemistry today is almost entirely instrumental
analytical chemistry and it is performed by many scientists and
engineers who are not chemists. Analytical instrumentation is
crucial to research in molecular biology, medicine, geology, food
science, materials science, and many other fields. With the growing
sophistication of laboratory equipment, there is a danger that
analytical instruments can be regarded as "black boxes" by those
using them. The well-known phrase "garbage in, garbage out" holds
true for analytical instrumentation as well as computers. This book
serves to provide users of analytical instrumentation with an
understanding of their instruments. This book is written to teach
undergraduate students and those working in chemical fields outside
analytical chemistry how contemporary analytical instrumentation
works, as well as its uses and limitations. Mathematics is kept to
a minimum. No background in calculus, physics, or physical
chemistry is required. The major fields of modern instrumentation
are covered, including applications of each type of instrumental
technique. Each chapter includes: A discussion of the fundamental
principles underlying each technique Detailed descriptions of the
instrumentation. An extensive and up to date bibliography End of
chapter problems Suggested experiments appropriate to the technique
where relevant This text uniquely combines instrumental analysis
with organic spectral interpretation (IR, NMR, and MS). It provides
detailed coverage of sampling, sample handling, sample storage, and
sample preparation. In addition, the authors have included many
instrument manufacturers’ websites, which contain extensive
resources.
