Abstract:
Instrumentation and Terminology describes the general design of mechanical ventilators, reviews the functions of the ventilator–user interface, and defines and explains commonly used terms and acronyms associated with mechanical ventilators. Despite big differences in outward appearance, all mechanical ventilators have several basic features in common. All must be connected to high-pressure sources of oxygen and air. All ventilators have a user interface, which allows the clinician to easily choose from a wide variety of ventilator settings, and displays these settings, as well as important, real-time patient data. Tables 4.1 and 4.2 in this chapter list most of the terms that you’ll need to use and understand when caring for mechanically ventilated patients.

Abstract:
‘Ventilator System Composition’ describes in depth, each of the six essential parts: the electrical supply, compressed gas supply, ventilator, breathing circuit, artificial airway, and the patient’s lungs. The chapter discusses the internal design of the ventilator, particularly the inspiratory channel and expiratory channel, and the use of a proportional valve. It describes the structure of the various breathing circuits or patient circuits that are used, and their relationship to the humidifier in use. Next, the author addresses the artificial airway or non-invasive patient interface, and finally the additional components that are added to the airway, components that add dead space and resistance to the circuit.

Abstract:
Retrieval services operate across many parts of the health system, and interface with many organizations. The work that is performed is complex, high risk, and resource consuming. It is therefore imperative that robust clinical and corporate governance systems are in place, and that these systems are tested, credentialed, and monitored where possible. Governance systems are the cornerstones of a high performance health organization, and are the foundation of excellent clinical outcomes, patient and stakeholder satisfaction, and safety and quality at all levels. The key elements of governance systems for retrieval services are described in this chapter.

Abstract:
Consultation-liaison psychiatrists, working at the interface between psychiatry and other medical specialties, frequently receive consultation requests reflecting tensions among the values of the clinical team, the patient, and the patient’s family. Yet little attention has been devoted to the religious and spiritual dimensions of these challenges. This chapter, using brief clinical case examples, reviews the relevance of religion/spirituality for ethical conflicts in several domains of consultation-liaison psychiatry. These areas of conflict include (1) the appropriate scope of the consulting psychiatrist’s role in diagnosis and treatment, (2) religious/spiritual aspects of capacity and candidacy evaluations, (3) patient and family values that conflict with those of the medical care team, and (4) a psychiatrist’s own values that conflict with the patient’s or society’s values. The chapter concludes by discussing in more depth a case involving several of these themes, analyzing it according to the Jonsen Four Quadrants Model.

Abstract:
The complexity of pain and addiction is a challenging clinical problem to address. Approaching the treatment of addiction and pain requires a holistic interpretation of a patient, understanding the psychological as well as biological mechanisms involved in both conditions. Given these facts, an interface has been created in this chapter of 2 phenomenal approaches to pain focused in both the psychiatric and mechanistic pain models. The result is a well-rounded and comprehensive view on how to approach pain in the integrative format for patients with addiction. When to consider different conventional and integrative modalities is reviewed including their evidence base. The role of personality, pain perception, and cognitions are all examined. The full array of integrative approaches including mind-body interventions, guided imagery, CBT, hypnosis, spirituality, mindfulness and postural techniques, manipulation, yoga, Tai chi and TCM are all discussed.

Abstract:
Interdisciplinary teamwork is an inherent feature of palliative care. A team is defined as a small number of people with complementary skills who are committed to a common purpose, performance goals, and approach for which they hold themselves mutually accountable. Efficient teams are characterized by good leadership, efficient communication, a strong sense of cohesion, and good decision-making and conflict resolution skills. A palliative care team usually consists of core and extended members. The team needs to be named and defined, but must also be flexible and integrate the professionals and skills needed in the individual case, as well as the patient and family members. The palliative care consult team has a unique role as the interface between palliative medicine and other medical specialties in the acute hospital, and has several levels of intervention. Every team should audit its own performance with respect to structure, processes, and outcomes.

Full text
Abstract:
Mechanical ventilation is indicated when the patient’s ability to ventilate the lung and/or effect gas transport across the alveolar capillary interface is compromised to point that harm is imminent. In practice, this means addressing one or more of three fundamental pathophysiological processes—loss of proper ventilatory control, ventilatory muscle demand-capability imbalances, and/or loss of alveolar patency. A fourth general indication involves providing a positive pressure assistance to allow tolerance of an artificial airway in the patient unable to maintain a patent and protected airway. The decision to initiate mechanical ventilation usually involves an integrated assessment that should include mental status, airway protection capabilities, ventilatory muscle load tolerance, spontaneous ventilatory pattern, and signs of organ dysfunction from either acidosis and/or hypoxaemia. Providing mechanical ventilatory assistance can be life-sustaining, but it is associated with significant risk, including ventilator-induced lung injury, infection, and need for sedatives/paralytics, and must be applied only when indications justify the risk.

Abstract:
The past 20 years have seen significant changes in both the demographics and natural history of many cardiovascular diseases. Important reductions in case-fatality rates (such as in acute coronary syndromes) have resulted from improved diagnostics and treatment options and better understanding of natural history. For others (such as infective endocarditis), improvements have been limited and disappointing. While advances in therapy and the scientific evidence underpinning treatments have been crucial, the importance of accurate diagnosis has remained a key element for progress. Many of the principles needed for diagnosis are constant: the pre-eminence of a focused, accurate history, complete physical examination, and timely and relevant investigation endures. It is essential to have a secure knowledge of the strengths and limitations of interpretation of a frequently bewildering array of tests. Progress in this field has been rapid; advances in ultrasound, scintigraphy, and cardiac magnetic resonance stand out at the interface between structure and function central to good patient care.

Abstract:
♦ Total hip replacements (THRs) may fail in various ways. They may become infected, they may be subject to aseptic loosening, they may dislocate, or a periprosthetic fracture may occur. The patient with a failed THR must be thoroughly assessed before treatment is contemplated♦ Infection may be acute or chronic. Assessment involves clinical assessment, plain radiographs, blood tests (C-reactive protein and erythrocyte sedimentation rate), hip aspiration, and, sometimes, nuclear medicine. The acutely infected hip may be treated with one-stage revision. This involves thorough lavage, debridement, and exchange of all modular components as well as long-term antibiotic therapy. The gold standard of treatment for a chronically infected THR is a two-stage revision. Success rates of 80–90% can be expected♦ Aseptic loosening typically occurs at the cement bone interface in hips where a metal-on-polyethylene bearing couple has been used. Bone resorption takes place as a result of an inflammatory response to small wear particles. After infection has been excluded the treatment of choice is a single-stage revision♦ Dislocation may be the result of patient factors, implant factors, or poor surgical technique. It is imperative for the clinician to minimize the risk by selecting patients carefully, using the correct combination of implants and performing surgery accurately♦ The management of periprosthetic fractures depends on how well the implants are fixed and quality of bone stock. Treatment ranges from simple fixation of the fracture through to revision augmented with strut allograft.

Abstract:
War and conflict have long been associated with improvements in medical care. The recent conflicts in Afghanistan and Iraq have been no exception. The high tempo of operations has presented the United Kingdom’s Defence Medical Services (DMS) with the need to care for injured service personnel and local nationals with highly complex patterns of injury. Patients have presented to the DMS with injuries not commonly encountered in civilian practice—typically the result of blast and ballistic mechanisms. The deployed anaesthetist is involved in all stages of the patient pathway from point of wounding to the emergency department, through the resuscitative period encompassed by the damage control construct; to the critical care delivered on the ground and in the air and finally back in the United Kingdom at the interface with the civilian National Health Service. The high quality of care delivered in association with rigorous clinical audit and research including laboratory physical science, has produced developments that not only impact on military outcomes, but which are being introduced in wider civilian practice. This chapter covers all these areas from first principles to the management of pain and advances in the understanding of coagulopathy.

Abstract:
That nature imitates art is not a paradox distilled from Oscar Wilde’s pen, but the bold formulation of a Roman poet, Ovid (43 BCE–17 CE), which marks a radical turning point in ancient aesthetics, founded on the principle of mimesis. By enhancing phantasia, the artist’s creative imagination, Ovid opens up unexplored perspectives for future European literature and art. Through Narcissus and Pygmalion, figures of illusion and desire, who are the protagonists of two major episodes of the Metamorphoses, this book sheds light on some crucial junctions in the history of reception and aesthetics. With its combination of sophisticated by combining literary critical thinking and patient argument applied to the poetics of self-reflexivity and, in particular, to the fundamental interface between the verbal and the visual in the Metamorphoses, it has mainly contributed to the poet’s critical fortunes in this new aetas Ovidiana we have been living in the past few decades. A substantive introduction to this edition positions the book anew in the forefront of current discussions of Ovidian aesthetics and intermediality, in the wake of the postmodern culture of the simulacrum.

Abstract:
Chapter 4 examines the advancing field of mental health and psychosomatic disease from preconception to the postpartum period. The reader is reminded of the normal adaptation of different organ systems to pregnancy. This adaptation affects both physical and emotional functioning, and is further modified by the pregnant woman's social circumstances. The transition to the pathological or diseased condition may follow an exaggeration of the physiological alterations or could occur due to health conditions specific to pregnancy. This may result in manifestations due to mind-body interactions that cause psychosomatic disease. Common and unfamiliar psychosomatic clinical conditions associated with childbearing such as anxiety and mood disorders, eating disorders, hyperemesis gravidarum, and substance misuse are discussed, along with the unfamiliar, such as schizophrenia and seizures. Pregnancy-related acute-on-chronic psychosomatic presentations, besides those arising de novo in labour, are illustrated by vignettes representing real-life encounters. Controversies in management are debated to acquaint the less familiar with these clinical challenges, which require patient-centred care. Promoting health during childbearing not only pertains to the health of the mother, but also to the well-being of her infant. This entails concomitant attention to both in order to enhance the physical, mental and social health of the mother-infant dyad. An urgency for improved understanding of biopsychosocial initiating factors is reflected in an UK surveillance report, `Saving Lives Improving Mother's Care: It confirms the continuing fall in fatalities from 'direct' pregnancy-related physical causes, but a rise due to under-recognition of 'indirect' psychiatric causes that represent the psychosomatic interface.
