Inhaltsangabe

Procedural decisions in primary care rarely begin with technique alone. They begin with a patient, a clinical risk, and a critical question: should you proceed, adapt the procedure, or refer?

Clinical Procedures for Primary Care Practice brings technical instruction and clinical judgment together in one comprehensive, evidence-based reference. Written for physicians, residents, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and healthcare students, it supports the development of thoughtful, patient-centered procedural skills for office and ambulatory settings.

Across twenty structured chapters, Isabella Lihou presents practical guidance on wound assessment and laceration repair, dermatological and nail procedures, joint aspiration and injection, trigger-point treatment, abscess drainage, reproductive healthcare, ENT and ophthalmologic procedures, urologic care, cardiovascular and respiratory interventions, gastrointestinal procedures, vascular access, splinting, diagnostic sampling, and pediatric adaptations. The book also addresses informed consent, patient assessment, indications and contraindications, pain management, specimen handling, complication recognition, emergency response, telehealth follow-up, and procedural adaptations for special populations. Detailed explanations and clinical illustrations connect each technical sequence with the reasoning that informs appropriate care.

Build a stronger procedural foundation, identify when referral is the safer decision, and keep a wide-ranging clinical reference within reach. Use this guide alongside supervised training, current clinical guidelines, institutional protocols, and individualized patient assessment as you expand or reinforce your office-based procedural knowledge.
