Practical Pediatric Gastrointestinal Endoscopy

Autor George Gershman, Marvin Ament
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 14 noi 2006
Practical Pediatric Gastrointestinal Endoscopy is the only text available that provides detailed instructions of all practical aspects of diagnostic and therapeutic endoscopic procedures in children.
It gives detailed descriptions of the investigation, diagnosis and therapeutic pediatric GI endoscopy treatments with special attention to the differences between instruments used for adults and for pediatric patients.

The advice is based on unique personal experience of thousands of endoscopic or colonoscopic procedures, written by a team of authors with experience in performing the diagnostic and therapeutic endoscopic procedures in children and infants of all ages.

The key points of each step are accompanied by easy–to–follow color diagrams and a comprehensive atlas of endoscopic images, illustrating both normal and abnormal pathology, aiding and perfecting diagnosis and treatment.
The step–by–step description of each procedure explains the purpose of each maneuvre, with much greater emphases on the practical aspects of diagnostics and therapeutic procedures to provide the best results and maximize patient safety. It looks at patient care before, during and after procedures and considers the new and less invasive Wireless Capsule Endoscopy options that will be less traumatic for the pediatric patient.

Descriere

Practical Pediatric Gastrointestinal Endoscopy is the only text available that is focused on detailed instructions of all practical aspects of diagnostic and therapeutic endoscopic procedures in children. The advice is based on unique personal experience of thousands of endoscopic or colonoscopic procedures, written by a team of authors with experience in performing the diagnostic and therapeutic endoscopic procedures in children and infants of all ages.
This book gives detailed descriptions of the investigation, diagnosis and therapeutic pediatric GI endoscopy treatments and also looks at the mechanical and optical characteristics of endoscopes and principles of image processing with special attention to the differences between instruments used for adults and for pediatric patients.

The step–by–step description of each procedure explains the purpose of each maneuvre, with much greater emphases on the practical aspects of diagnostics and therapeutic procedures to provide the best results and maximize patient safety. It looks at patient care before, during and after procedures and considers the new and less invasive Wireless Capsule Endoscopy options that will be less traumatic for the pediatric patient.

The key points of each step are accompanied by easy–to–follow color diagrams and a comprehensive atlas of endoscopic images, illustrating both normal and abnormal pathology, aiding and perfecting diagnosis and treatment. The diagnostic procedures described are tailored to the age–related variation in common GI pathology and this book gives comprehensive descriptions and explanations of the differences for procedures in children from those in adults.

Recenzii

"Based on the experience of the authors, the book presents in 10 chapters with many illustrations in color the equipment, procedures and pathology of the gastro–intestinal tract in children. Each has a reference list. For pediatric gastroentorologists" Pediatric Endocrinology Reviews. December 2007
“The primary authors are well qualified in this field to write such a book. I commend the authors for providing tables for equipment troubleshooting.”
Practical Gastroenterology

"This is the only book presently available in the market which deals exclusively with paediatric endoscopy. The authors of the chapters are well established authorities in the field. They bring diverse expertise to the work, including substantial experience in the technology of endoscopic instruments and accessories, as well as pathology, diagnostic methodologies and therapy of paediatric gatrointenstinal disease. The result is a book that is complete but at the same time easy to read and to understand.....Very nice book, complete, well written and apporpiately referenced, but at the same time easy to understand. Its nice figures, tables and charts allow a quick and easy interpretation to the readers"– G. Manes. Digestive and Liver disease (40) 2008
