책 소개
-
Provides a unique, interactive approach to?understanding the nuances and complexities of patient cases?for both invasive and non-invasive therapies, drawing from real clinical cases and accompanying case discussions.?
-
Describes the?approach taken by experts?for each case, presenting the clinical reasoning on the most appropriate approaches and the possible therapies.?
-
Offers?easy-to-read, templated information?for every case: onset of symptoms, the entire diagnostic-therapeutic path including clinical and laboratory findings, and discussions on the clinical choices made in accordance with evidence-based medical procedures.?
-
Includes both?positive and negative outcomes?for a broader experience.?
-
Features?more than 200 illustrations?including x-rays, procedural photos, ultrasound, CT scans, and histopathology specimens, as well as?video procedures?for thoracentesis, chest tube placing, medical thoracoscopy, and insertion of indwelling pleural catheter.?
-
Addresses?other common clinical issues?such as the management of multimorbid elderly patients, the optimization of fluid balance, and the need to discontinue antiplatelet or anticoagulant therapy before invasive procedures.?
-
Enhanced eBook version included with purchase.?Your enhanced eBook allows you to access all of the text, figures, and references from the book on a variety of devices.?
Reviews
"This compact reference provides a user-friendly tool that allows readers rapid access to the scope of pleural disease, including the key aspects of history, examination, imaging, and management of both benign and malignant pleural problems. This is a wonderful tool for students and junior postgraduate trainees encountering this important group of chest health concerns."
