Patient Safety in Surgery

Editat de Philip F. Stahel, Cyril Mauffrey
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 3 sep 2014
In general, surgeons strive to achieve excellent results and ideal patient outcomes, however, this noble task is frequently failed. For patients, surgical complications are analogous to “friendly fire” in wartime. Both scenarios imply that harm is unintentionally done by somebody whose aim was to help. Interestingly, adverse events resulting from surgical interventions are more frequently related to system errors and a communication breakdown among providers, rather than to the imminent threat of the surgical blade “gone wrong”.   Patient Safety in Surgery aims to increase the safety and quality of care for patients undergoing surgical procedures in all fields of surgery.   Patient Safety in Surgery, covers all aspects related to patient safety in surgery, including pertinent issues of interest to surgeons, medical trainees (students, residents, and fellows), nurses, anaesthesiologists, patients, patient families, advocacy groups, and medicolegal experts.​ ​​

Recenzii

“This first edition of the textbook, which provides a complete view of all aspects related to safe surgical care … . This is very pleasant reading, bringing useful aspects in debate and we recommend this book to every surgeon interested in improving his vision about what happens outside the operating room.” (Marius M. Scarlat, International Orthopaedics (SICOT), Vol. 39 (5), May, 2015)
“The 34 chapters, organized into four sections, and several appendixes present information in a concise but complete format. … This is a unique and much-needed book. It will serve as a resource for surgeons, anesthesiologists, operating room nurses, and others involved in perioperative care. It deserves to become a classic in this developing field.” (Carol Scott-Conner, Doody’s Book Reviews, October, 2014)
“This work is actually to regard as a worldwide reference in this field. It will have to appear in good place in the libraries of all the centers of traumatology, but to also be on the desk of all the trainees surgeons, but also seniors, who want to practice a rigorous surgery and with competence near the patients that misfortunes of the life directed towards them.” (Pierre Kehr, European Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery & Traumatology, Vol. 24, 2014)
