Handbook of Postoperative Complications Summary

Handbook of Postoperative Complications by Dr. David J. Leaper

The Handbook of Postoperative Complications focuses on the complications that can arise after surgical procedures. Complications are clearly important and are increasingly used as measurable, clinical performance indicators. The consequences of postoperative complications can include the inconvenience to the patient, their relatives, work and lifestyle, complaints and litigation against the medical staff, and increased periods of hospitalisation, with the associated cost implications. The Handbook is divided into two sections. The first covers general complications such as pressure sores, complications of fluid balance and problems related to anaesthesia. Section two focuses in on the complications encountered in all of the major surgical specialties. This book, written and presented in the familiar, concise and convenient note-based style of the Oxford Pocket Medicine series, will be essential reading for all trainee surgeons, medical students, operating theatre staff, nurses, rehabilitation staff and general practitioners responsible for the care of surgical patients after their discharge from hospital.

Handbook of Postoperative Complications Reviews

The text would be an invaluable source of reference to all members of the team involved in the care of the surgical patient. The format makes it simple to find the topic you are looking for; invaluable when time is of the essence. Nursing Standard A complete compendium of postoperative complications... It is a reference that is easy to read, and the ability to write notes on the opposing page makes it useful for later reference. It is well written and I would recommend it highly for someone who wants to focus on the management of postoperative complications. Doody's Journal
