Inhaltsangabe

Myers and Johnson, both affiliated with the Department of Otolaryngology at the University of Pittsburgh, review critical issues in the management of tracheotomy procedures. A section on airway management covers the history of tracheotomy, alternatives, techniques, and complications in adults, in children, and in the intensive care unit. Chapters on special considerations cover tracheostomy in patients with burns and obstructive sleep apnea. A section on rehabilitation covers nursing management and long-term care. To reflect the increase in the use of tracheostomy in patients with chronic conditions, this second edition includes chapters on communication options and management of swallowing problems. B&w photos and drawings illustrate equipment and techniques. Annotation ©2007 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
