Abstract:
Transrectal and transvaginal approaches for abscess drainage can be safer than other approaches but may cause greater patient discomfort at the time of placement. Achieving optimal anesthesia can be difficult in certain situations, particularly when using a transvaginal or transrectal approach. By using a side port adapter and a high-quality 3-cc syringe, operators can provide additional anesthetic while using the Seldinger technique. This method allows for additional anesthetic to be placed in the vaginal cuff, thus allowing a greater number of transvaginal procedures to be performed with moderate sedation as opposed to general anesthesia. The technique can also be applied to other percutaneous procedures, such as nephrostomy tube placement.

Abstract:
Neuromodulation therapies are now common treatments for a variety of medically refractory disorders, including movement disorders and epilepsy. While surgical techniques for each disorder vary, electricity is used by both for relieving symptoms. During stereotactic placement of the stimulating electrode, either deep brain stimulation electrodes or cortical strip electrodes, intraoperative neurophysiology is used to localize the target structure. This physiology includes single-unit recordings, neurostimulation evoked response evaluation, and intracranial electroencephalography (EEG) to ensure the electrode leads are in the optimal location. Because the functional target for the responsive neurostimulator is more easily visualized on preoperative magnetic resonance imaging, intraoperative physiology is used more as a confirmatory tool, in contrast to the more functional localization-based use during electrode placement for movement disorders. This chapter discusses surgical placement of the electrodes for each procedure and the physiological guidance methodology used to place the leads in the optimal location.

Abstract:
One potential complication of radical cystectomy is the development of a pelvic abscess requiring drainage. Transurethral drainage has been described for the treatment of prostatic abscesses but is particularly well tolerated in patients for whom pelvic fluid drainage is needed following radical cystectomy. Although percutaneous, transrectal, or transvaginal approaches to pelvic drain placement are possible, the transurethral route provides a fully epithelialized tract through which the drainage catheter can traverse and which does not require unnecessary tissue puncture. Although blind Foley catheter placement could potentially be used for transurethral drainage in these patients, urologic surgeons have preferred fluoroscopically guided drain placement to ensure atraumatic placement and optimal drain positioning. In a stepwise fashion, this chapter describes how to perform fluoroscopy-guided transurethral abscess drainage in patients following cystectomy.

Abstract:
Comprehensive neurosciences nursing care goes far in providing optimal support, but the acute immobilization and anticipated prolonged bed rest requires the use of prophylactic drugs. Many options relate to failure to move limbs, failure to breathe adequately and placement of intravenous catheters This chapter covers the more critical preventive measures.Prevention of deep venous thrombosis, hyperglycemia, stress ulcers, ventilator-associated pneumonia, urinary tract infections, vascular access infections, ventriculitis, and post-craniotomy infections are discussed in this chapter. Pharmacists assist in effective stewardship and surveillance of critically ill patients by helping select the appropriate antibiotics, determining the need for drug levels, and initiating or stopping preventative medications.

Abstract:
Scoliosis is an anatomical deformity caused by a lateral and rotational shift in the thoracolumbar spine. Surgical correction involves wide exposure of the spine for placement of stabilizing rods and can result in significant complications from excessive blood loss and neurologic impairments. These procedures require vigilance to acid-base status, hemodynamic fluctuations, coagulation, temperature maintenance, and neurologic monitoring from anesthesiologists. Other major anesthetic considerations discussed include maintaining the integrity of perfusion to the spinal cord, positioning concerns, optimal technique for neuromonitoring, and pain control in the perioperative period. This chapter presents a case study of a 14-year-old girl with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis who presents for posterior spinal instrumentation and fusion from T4-L4 with autologous bone graft.

Abstract:
This chapter provides a clinical description of ultrasound physics tailored to provide the practitioner a solid background for optimal imaging and needle guidance technique during regional anesthesia. Important ultrasound characteristics are covered, including optimization of ultrasound images, transducer selection, and features found on most point-of-care systems. In-plane and out-of-plane needle guidance techniques and a three-step process for visualizing in-plane needle insertions are presented. Next, common artifacts and errors including attenuation, dropout, and intraneural injection are covered, along with clinical solutions to overcome these inaccuracies. Preparation details are reviewed to make the regional anesthesia procedures as reproducible and safe as possible. Also included are a practical review of peripheral nerve block catheter placement principles, an appendix listing what blocks may be used for what surgeries, and seven Keys to Ultrasound Success that can make ultrasound guided regional anesthesia understandable and clinically feasible for all practitioners.

Full text
Abstract:
This second edition of the book continues the basic premise that a thorough knowledge of the mechanisms by which neurons respond to electrical stimulation, how to control the stimulation and the regional anatomy allows the Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) programmer to effectively and efficiently help patients reach optimal control of their disorder. There are a great many variables that influence the patient’s response to DBS, such as the exact nature of the patient’s individual symptoms and disabilities and the variability of the surgical placement of stimulating leads. The complexity has expanded because rapid increases in technology, both current and anticipated. The book makes no assumptions as to the prior knowledge or expertise. As the brain fundamentally is an electrical device, the book begins explaining the relevant electronics, building a nearly intuitive knowledge of how electrons are affected by electrical and magnetic forces and how the actions of the programmer controls electrical charges that ultimately activate neurons, which themselves are electrical devices.

Abstract:
This book discusses many modern, cutting-edge applications of graph theory, such as traffic networks and Braess’ paradox, navigable networks and optimal routing for emergency response, backbone/dominating sets in wireless sensor networks, placement of electric vehicle charging stations, pedestrian safety and graph-theoretic methods in molecular epidemiology. Because of the rapid growth of research in this field, the focus of the book is on the up-to-date development of the aforementioned applications. The book will be ideal for researchers, engineers, transport planners and emergency response specialists who are interested in the recent development of graph theory applications. Moreover, this book can be used as teaching material for postgraduate students because, in addition to up-to-date descriptions of the applications, it includes exercises and their solutions. Some of the exercises mimic practical, real-life situations. Advanced students in graph theory, computer science or molecular epidemiology may use the problems and research methods presented in this book to develop their final-year projects, master’s theses or doctoral dissertations; however, to use the information effectively, special knowledge of graph theory would be required.

Full text
Abstract:
Cardiac tamponade is an emergency, and definitive therapy is fluid removal by pericardiocentesis. In certain conditions, fluid removal is still the optimal choice, but a conservative approach using haemodialysis may be employed. Factors that influence the management strategy include evaluating the cause, providing haemodynamic support, and choosing the technique. Fluid resuscitation to maintain venous pressure and circulation may be beneficial up to a point, after which, tamponade may be aggravated. While inotropes have theoretical benefit, studies involving humans are few. Fluid removal strategies are broadly grouped into percutaneous and surgical methods. In most cases, the percutaneous approach is favoured. However, surgery is typically the first choice in blunt trauma or in proximal aortic dissection. While the safety of percutaneous methods is well established, imaging guidance is needed to avoid common complications associated with a blind technique. The proper management strategy should also minimize effusion recurrence, common methods to do so include placement of a drainage catheter, infusion of a sclerosing agent, and a balloon pericardiotomy procedure. Surgical methods for removal of pericardial fluid include the creation pericardial window, insertion of a pericardioperitoneal shunt, and pericardiectomy. The creation of a pericardial window and pericardioperitoneal shunt are safe, but pericardiectomy is associated with increased morbidity. After fluid removal has been completed, the patient should be placed in a unit that is both familiar with the signs of tamponade and has the capacity to quickly treat a significant effusion if it recurs.

Abstract:
This chapter provides a comprehensive review of current airway management set against its historical context and likely future developments in the field. Developments in equipment design are discussed against the background of a short review of the anatomy and physiology relevant to clinical airway management. An exploration of airway devices examines progress in design from the first facemasks and early hands-free delivery systems, through to current second-generation supraglottic airways and the future of providing improved protection against aspiration. Continuing advances in tracheal tube and cuff design are set alongside developments in techniques and equipment for laryngoscopy and possibilities for supplementing capnography in confirmation of correct tube placement within the trachea. The use of newer drugs to facilitate control of airway reflexes is also discussed. The importance of using optimal evidence-based techniques in airway management is highlighted in the reduction of complications. This covers preoperative evaluation of the airway, planning a strategy, induction of anaesthesia, and establishing a clear airway through to safe termination of anaesthesia, emergence, tracheal extubation, and recovery. Techniques for dealing with complications if they arise are described. Drawing on lessons from the Fourth National Audit Project of the Royal College of Anaesthetists and the Difficult Airway Society ‘Major complications of airway management in the United Kingdom’ (NAP4) and the general literature, emphasis is placed on high-risk areas of airway management and areas where the existing knowledge base is not covered in depth in other texts.

Abstract:
Celestial mechanics abounds in interesting and counter-intuitive phenomena, such as descriptions of mass transfer between stars or optimal placements of satellites within the Solar System. Remarkably, many such features are already present in the restricted three-body problem, whose assumptions still allow for analytical understanding, and to which the second chapter is devoted. This ‘simplified’ system is discussed first in terms of forces (both gravitational and fictitious), and then using the Hamiltonian form. As well as traditional topics like stable and unstable Lagrange points and Roche lobes, a brief introduction to chaotic orbits is given. Additionally, readers are guided towards exploring on their own with numerical orbit integration.
