Day Surgery by Debbie Hodge
Day surgery (or 'same day surgery') is growing rapidly, as more and more operations are handled on an out-patient basis. In the last 7 years, the number of day cases has increased by over 30 per cent. To date, there has been no book published in the UK on this subject for nurses. This book covers all aspects of day surgery from the nurse's viewpoint. The text will provide information on technical aspects of care as well as patient selection, assessment and screening, ethical and legal implications, management of resources, and quality assurance. Nurses working in day surgery units will find it an indispensable guide to current practice, and theatre nurses and operating department personnel will also find it useful for reference.
Hodge, Brian: - Brian Hodge is the author of eight novels, including Wild Horses and Dark Advent, and three story collections, as well as numerous short stories in various publications and anthologies. He has been nominated for the Bram Stoker Award and for the World Fantasy Award.
