Putting Plastic Surgery on Paper
An interdisciplinary approach to medical history that shows the key role that drawings and photographs had in shaping the material, professional, emotional and aesthetic parameters of plastic surgery. Plastic surgery in twentieth-century Britain was a medical discipline with deep ties to art, artists and art history. It was also a field still in the process of creating its reputation and its archives. Putting Plastic Surgery on Paper examines these archives, focusing in particular on the works on paper held within these collections by two artists: Diana "Dickie" Orpen and Percy Hennell. Plastic surgeons depended upon the drawings and photographs made by these and other medical illustrators to craft certain narratives about their field and their surgical practice. In addition to telling an art history of plastic surgery during this period, Putting Plastic Surgery on Paper engages with the affective parameters of archival objects, and with what working as a historian involves when done within potentially traumatic spaces. Paying particular attention to the emotional dimensions and effects of this visual culture and the ways in which it is archived and framed by the discipline of plastic surgery - then and now - Putting Plastic Surgery on Paper explores not only what it meant to make art in a surgical space, but also what it means to study these affecting paper objects in the archive today.

Perioperative Pediatric Patient Blood Management and Transfusion Safety
This case-based book is focused on perioperative pediatric PBM and blood transfusion safety, while addressing a number of patient management issues. Divided into three sections covering all phases of perioperative care, each chapter consists of a stem question, followed by an analysis of the issue, then a discussion of the current evidence in the literature. Rather than being a transfusion-related book written by pathologists and laboratory specialists, chapters are authored by highly specialized clinicians who will write from first-hand experience in addition to an exploration of the current literature. The book features management summaries of topics with scant or only recently available evidence and offers novel content and format in the pediatric patient literature. Perioperative Pediatric Patient Blood Management and Transfusion Safety is an informative guide for any clinician that treats a child before, during, or after a blood loss surgery.

Anesthesiology - New Insights
This book provides a comprehensive overview of current developments in anaesthesiology. It covers the organisation of anesthesia services, surgical specialties and medical education and emphasises the patient's perspective during the perioperative process. The chapters "Solutions for Insufficient Epidural Analgesia for Planned Vaginal Birth" and "Interdisciplinary Emergencies in the Delivery Room" address current aspects of obstetric anaesthesia. "Anesthesia for Robotic Surgeries in Children" poses challenges, including patient positioning, restricted access for airway management and physiological changes due to the pneumoperitoneum. Adapted ventilation strategies are crucial for the safety of young patients. A forward-looking chapter, "Anesthetic Management of Bronchoscopic Lung Volume Reduction", investigates a minimally invasive treatment for severe COPD. The reduction in morbidity and mortality is an advantage of this method, but it harbours risks such as pneumothorax, which is why careful interdisciplinary care is required. "General Anaesthesia in the Context of Haemorrhagic Shock and Trauma" describes the negative effects on the patient's homeostasis. Individualised anaesthesia is essential to address the patient's specific physiological needs. The chapter "Anesthesiologic Management of Patients with Opioids or Psychoactive Substance Use" deals with a particularly demanding patient group. The chapters "Fascial Plane Blocks" and "Considerations and New Perspectives of Locoregional Anesthesia in Dentistry" convey exciting new aspects of regional anaesthesia. Finally, "The Effect of Parental Anxiety on Postoperative Paediatric Cognitive Dysfunction" addresses the psychological impact of surgery on children. High parental anxiety can delay the recovery process and cause long-term cognitive impairment.

Styletubation
Management of the upper airway and endotracheal intubation are provided by a variety of specialists including anesthesiologists, otorhinolaryngologists, emergency physicians, and pulmonary physicians. Fibreoptic and video technologies are widely used for airway management. Optical stylets, which incorporate flexible fibreoptic imaging elements in an intubation stylet, are gradually becoming the preferred intubation tools for a growing number of specialists. The ideal optical stylet should provide illumination and an image of high clarity, familiar handling with malleability and additional tip flexion, and low cost so that it becomes available to the larger community of airway providers. The Shikani Optical stylet (SOS) was introduced in 1999 as a novel intubating stylet which has a lens at the distal end, a fiberoptic cable inside and is connected to a camera and a video monitor, hence allowing continuous visualization of the airway during introduction of the tube into the glottis [Shikani AH. New "seeing" stylet-scope and method for the management of the difficult airway. Otolaryngol Head Neck Surg. 1999 Jan;120(1):113-6. doi: 10.1016/S0194-5998(99)70380-3.]. The SOS allowed the introduction of the Shikani technique for intubation (Styletubation), which allows endotracheal intubation without the need of the rigid laryngoscope blade to retract the base of the tongue, hence minimizing the risk of trauma to the glottis or dentition. The SOS and Shikani technique for intubation (Styletubation) have been used in millions of patients worldwide (mainly in Asia), published in more than 100 articles and cited in many more. This book is a review of our clinical experience with optical stylets, with the Shikani Optical stylet and the Shikani technique for intubation (Styletubation). In this monograph (volume 1), we collected several published articles covering several topic as follows. Chapter 1─Chapter 5: The history and development of styletubation Chapter 6─Chapter 8: The technical pearls and tips of styletubation Chapter 9─Chapter 14: The role of styletubation in various difficult airway scenarios Chapter 15─Chapter 20: The role of styletubation during COVID-19 pandemicThe authors also wish to acknowledge the contribution made by publishers who accomplish the knowledge sharing of the publications we presented in this monograph. The book has been written expressly for the providers with a solid background in airway management, in order to serve as a reference while they accumulate additional experience in intubation. Experience is the best teacher in airway management.It is our intention to provide basic, practical and tested maneuvers to manage the airway in the real world. Our contribution to this book is to share the result of personal experience gained over many years of clinical practice. It is a statement earned by personal observation, building upon the knowledge of those who taught us.Alan H.

Atlas of Anatomy
The definitive resource for learning and teaching challenging anatomyRapid advances in medical research and technology have led to innovative medical procedures, and in turn, emerging trends in medical education. Novel developments highlight the importance of once seemingly irrelevant anatomic details, while also impacting the scope of anatomy curricula. To reflect these changes, each chapter in Atlas of Anatomy, Fifth Edition has been meticulously updated to ensure content is both relevant and reflective of the role of anatomy in contemporary medical practice.The book features seven anatomical sections with a total of 51 chapters, with updates, additions, and revisions incorporated throughout the more than 700 pages. The Table of Contents is enhanced with reader-friendly chapter and page references for all tables and clinical boxes. To mirror the current trend in muscular attachment terminology, origin and insertion are replaced with the more accurate and descriptive terms superior attachment/inferior attachment or proximal attachment/distal attachment. Over 2,100 illustrations unmatched in both the realistic depiction of anatomy and the three-dimensionality of the figures enhance recognition and memorization of structures.Key Features: NEW! Updated images reflect gender, racial, and ethnic diversityNEW! Reorganization of the neurovascular spreads in the abdomen and pelvis unitsNEW! Expansion of the sections on the female breast and perineumNEW! Added brainstem cross section layoutsNEW!
