Manual of Pulmonary Procedures for Endoscopy Nurses - Tapa blanda

Reseña del editor

This serves as a companion to SGNA's Manual of Gastrointestinal Procedures and gives an overview of pulmonary procedures frequently performed in GI/endoscopy settings. The manual presents 23 procedures, categorized as diagnostic, therapeutic and specimen collection. Additional sections discuss safety, standard equipment and common medications used. Each procedure includes a description, indications, contraindications, pre-, intra- and post- procedure assessment, care and responsibilities, patient teaching, equipment and potential complications. Pediatric and other age-specific considerations are noted. This text is a welcome reference for endoscopy staff that infrequently assist with pulmonary procedures.
