Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Serious illness creates some of the most demanding decisions in clinical medicine. Symptoms become complex, treatment burdens increase, prognosis becomes uncertain, families need guidance, and clinicians must balance what is medically possible with what is genuinely beneficial. Palliative care provides the framework for making those decisions with greater precision, clarity, and clinical purpose.Palliative Care: Clinical Reasoning and Management is a comprehensive, evidence-based guide to the assessment and management of patients living with serious, progressive, and life-limiting illness.Written in the style of a premium clinical medicine reference, this volume brings together symptom control, pharmacology, communication, prognosis, ethics, decision-making, disease-specific care, caregiver support, hospice, and end-of-life medicine within one coherent clinical framework.Rather than treating each problem in isolation, the book consistently moves from presentation and mechanism to targeted treatment, reassessment, escalation, and goal-concordant decision-making-helping readers understand not only what can be done, but why, when, and for whom.Inside, readers will develop a stronger command of: - Pain, opioids, dyspnea, nausea, delirium, agitation, fatigue, cachexia, wounds, gastrointestinal symptoms, and other major palliative syndromes, with attention to mechanism, treatment selection, toxicity, and treatment failure.- Serious-illness communication, prognosis, goals of care, capacity, advance care planning, family meetings, and difficult ethical decisions encountered across modern clinical practice.- Palliative care in cancer, heart failure, respiratory disease, kidney and liver failure, neurologic disease, dementia, frailty, pediatrics, and multimorbidity, with disease-specific reasoning rather than generic recommendations.- The final days of life, palliative emergencies, hospice, refractory suffering, palliative sedation, caregiver preparation, and continuity of care across hospital, ICU, home, and community settings.Full-color medical diagrams throughout the book transform complex clinical relationships into clear visual frameworks, reinforcing symptom pathways, decision models, disease trajectories, and management strategies.The result is a reference designed to strengthen the reader's ability to recognize suffering earlier, identify reversible contributors, select proportionate interventions, communicate difficult information clearly, anticipate what comes next, and build care plans that remain clinically sound as illness evolves.For physicians, trainees, nurses, advanced practice clinicians, and professionals caring for seriously ill patients, Palliative Care: Clinical Reasoning and Management offers a structured approach to one of medicine's most consequential responsibilities: providing care that is technically rigorous, ethically grounded, and aligned with the realities of serious illness.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - A complete working reference for the symptoms, conversations, and decisions that define palliative practice.Serious illness rarely presents one problem at a time. A patient with advanced heart failure is breathless at rest, nauseated from a new medication, and confused overnight. The family wants to talk about what happens next. Every one of those threads needs an answer, and most of them need it today.Practical Palliative Care is built for that reality. Across 51 chapters, it moves from the philosophy and public health foundations of the field through detailed symptom management, team-based care delivery, disease-specific chapters, and the emergencies and ethical questions that arrive without warning.What is inside: - Symptom assessment and management in depth. Pain assessment and pharmacologic management, adjuvant analgesia and interventional techniques, breathlessness, fatigue, nausea and vomiting, gastroparesis, constipation, bowel obstruction, cachexia, mucositis, wounds and lymphedema, delirium, psychiatric symptoms, and the last days of life.- The conversations that carry the most weight. Breaking difficult news, advance care planning and shared decision-making, prognostication, spirituality and dignity, and sexuality and intimacy.- Care across every setting. Home and primary care, hospital and acute inpatient, the ICU, residential and aged-care, and rural practice, along with the roles of generalists, specialists, nurses, caregivers, and volunteers.- Condition-specific guidance. Cancer, heart failure, COPD and interstitial lung disease, neurodegenerative disease and stroke, dementia, kidney, liver, and endocrine disease, multimorbidity, frailty in older people, pediatric palliative care, and intellectual disability along with cultural and Indigenous perspectives.- Emergencies and ethics. Metabolic, hematologic, structural, neurologic, psychiatric, and social emergencies, plus ethical frameworks, palliative sedation, assisted dying, and contested decisions.- Four quick-reference appendices. Symptom management, palliative care emergencies, assessment tools and frameworks, and ethical and decision-making frameworks, along with a glossary, abbreviations list, and full index.Who it is for: - Palliative medicine physicians, fellows, and residents- Hospice and palliative care nurses and nurse practitioners- Oncologists, intensivists, geriatricians, and internists- Clinical pharmacists and physician assistants- Social workers, chaplains, and allied health team members- Students preparing for palliative and hospice care rotationsChapters are written to be read on their own. Look up delirium at 2 a.m. without needing the chapter before it. Read the goals-of-care chapter before a family meeting. Use the appendices when there is no time to read anything longer.Palliative care is not what happens when treatment stops. It is what happens alongside it, and it deserves the same rigor as any other specialty. This book treats it that way.…
