Description - A Textbook of Perioperative Care by Kate Woodhead
Woodhead and Wicker's new text will be the foremost reference source for all perioperative practitioners. This new text is unique in its' approach to focus on the principles of perioperative care in a wide variety of different surgical environments. Surgery for patients has changed dramatically over the last few years and a text such as this is needed for students and practitioners in this specialised environment. This book will replace Brigden's Operating Department Practice. The content mirrors the dynamics of modern perioperative practice by focusing on surgical interventions in all the environments in which it is currently practised, including A&E departments, general practice clinics, intensive care units, and at the site of serious accidents. Theatre practice is becoming increasingly specialist; this book does not attempt to to reflect the needs of all specialties, but instead concentrates on the principles of practice, applicable to any setting and any specialty. It has a very practical focus - it aims to be the book that nurses and ODPs reach for in order to answer their practical questions - but is not be procedure-driven.
Instead, it sets out the principles of perioperative practice, from which practitioners will be able to develop their own practice techniques. The book has four main sections, each with varying numbers of individual chapters. This will assist readers in locating information and, by organising the content in a logical, largely chronological way, will also reflect the 'journey' patients undertake when they access surgical services.
