Avoiding Common Surgical Errors
Opis
This pocket book lists 250 errors commonly made by interns, residents, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants when working unsupervised with surgical patients on the ward or in the operating room, emergency room, or intensive care unit. The book can easily be read cover to cover immediately before the start of a rotation or used for quick reference on call. Each entry begins with an easy-to-remember ??never?? or ??always?? tip, followed by a one-page explanation of the clinical scenario in which the error can occur and the relevant anatomy and pathophysiology. Illustrations of anatomy, instruments, and devices are included where appropriate.
