"The key to the ethical practice of pediatric anesthesia: Treat every child and family with the grace and consideration with which you would want your child and family treated. Here are 7 maxims: 1. Remember that surgery is a big deal. Reminding yourself that this banal case is a lifetime event for the child and family helps you be kind and respectful to the child and family. It boosts your ability to mitigate the production pressure that hurries you to induce anesthesia before the premedication has taken effect, inadequately prepare a nervous adolescent for insertion of an intravenous catheter, or skirt safety guidelines. 2. Meet the needs of the child and family. Focus on process by being patient, calm, flexible and nonjudgmental. Anxious, sleep-deprived parents receiving complicated information may need to hear information several times to understand it or may react strongly to the seemingly unremarkable. Interact with the intent of determining their needs, whether it be the extent of information, the preferences for decision making or the need for reassurance. Respond directly to questions"--

Whether a mass casualty, earthquake or weather event at home, or a disaster abroad, proper preparation is essential for providing high-quality care. This concise guide brings together the views and knowledge of experienced responders to offer a much-needed review of the essential elements of anesthesia and intensive care for disasters and austere environments. Combining academic theory and practical advice, the book covers topics such as emergency and trauma surgery; airway management; chemical, biological and radiological exposure; personal protective equipment; and the psychological impact of working in the operating room in disaster situations. As successful care depends on the incident response team working collaboratively, the text also covers emergency communications, infrastructure preservation, and topics relevant to other medical specialists such as pain management and obstetrics. Featuring numerous high-quality illustrations, Essentials of Disaster Anesthesia is a vital, relevant resource for anesthetists, emergency physicians, nurses, and ancillary personnel.

"L'atteinte neurologique est la défaillance la plus fréquente à l'admission aux urgences ou en réanimation. L'essor considérable des neurosciences a permis, ces dix dernières années, une meilleure prise en charge des patients neurolésés mais rend indispensable, notamment pour les soignants de premier ou de second recours exerçant hors des centres spécialisés, l'acquisition de solides connaissances. C'est en effet de ces premiers soins que dépend l'essentiel du pronostic neurologique des patients. L'objectif de cet ouvrage est de proposer aux praticiens le socle de connaissances et les protocoles nécessaires à la prise en charge des patients neurolésés. Il se présente sous la forme de fiches synthétiques permettant de rapidement s'assurer de la conduite à tenir, tout en ayant accès aux fondamentaux. Le lecteur trouvera ainsi réunis au sein d'un même ouvrage pratique tous les éléments clés d'une prise en charge médicale optimisée. Les auteurs ont eu à cœur de regrouper de manière concise et de rendre accessible toute l'expertise de neuro-anesthésistes-réanimateurs, neurochirurgiens, neuroradiologues et neurologues. Ils ont donc conçu un référentiel de poche composé d'une centaine de fiches adaptées à un éventail de situations cliniques (en neurologie, anesthésie, réanimation et pédiatrie) afin de permettre une application directe et concrète des protocoles, quelle que soit la structure concernée. Premier guide pratique à proposer une synthèse des données et protocoles en neuro-anesthésie-réanimation, il sera de première nécessité pour les soignants, qu'ils soient en exercice ou en formation." --Page 4 de la couverture.
