Product Description

From ageless principles to latest advancements in perioperative nursing, Alexander's Care of the Patient in Surgery has been considered the standard in perioperative nursing for over 50 years. Alexander's is a comprehensive reference developed to assist perioperative personnel to meet the individual needs of surgical patients for safe, cost-effective, efficient care by delivering state-of-the-art information that reflects quality contemporary practice. Unit I provides information on basic principles and patient care requisites essential to all perioperative patients. Step-by-step procedures for over 400 general and specialty surgical interventions are found in Unit II, and Unit III discusses the unique needs of ambulatory, pediatric, geriatric, and trauma surgery patients. New features in the 11th edition of Alexander's Care of the Patient in Surgery address key issues, such as decreased length of hospital stays, and new surgical advancements. A new feature, Patient Education and Discharge Planning, is incorporated in each chapter to address continuity of care from the perioperative environment through discharge. New sample critical pathways are highlighted in all surgical chapters in response to the growing demand for collaborative, clinical tools in surgical management. Coverage of the latest surgical trends and advancements presents an increased number of endoscopic/minimally invasive surgical procedures in each surgical specialty chapter, a new Surgical Modalities chapter provides key content on technological advancements in endoscopic surgery, lasers, electrosurgical modalities, cryosurgery, and telesurgery, and the Internet Connection, a listing of Internet web sites, gives students and practitioners quick access to resources for the latest advancements in their field.

3.0 out of 5 stars A good book to have on your shelf for reference, 16 Feb 2003

By	"katykitcher" - See all my reviews

This review is from: Alexander's Care of the Patient in Surgery (Hardcover)

This is a very big detailed book with small print and thin pages which make it difficult to read, however, it is fairly easy if you are using the index to look up specific things.

Because this is an American book some of the way in which practice is conducted is different, but the principles are the same, so dont be put off by that.

I would recomend this book to theatre nurses/ODP's just because of the section on surgery. Good diagrams and dialogue make this book understandable, unlike so many others, as it seems to be written in a language that as scrub practioners we can relate to and understand what the surgeons are doing and more importantly why.

All in all a book that I wouldnt do without now that i have it.
