Produktbeschreibung
Manufactured equipment for pediatric procedures and medical devices is typically very costly and often prohibitive in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). This book compiles expert content and research into an approachable case-based guide to the implementation of procedures or devices that have been safely modified for use in low-resource settings.
The text is divided into chapters based on procedure type. Each chapter includes cases that highlight the risks and benefits of these modified devices and procedures. They also provide supply lists and instructions while simultaneously grounding this information with current available research.
This content has been in high demand in both national and international conferences, lectures and workshops, as global health engagement continues to rise. This book puts that content in a usable, easily distributed format, allowing both practitioners in the United States and abroad to care for patients in a cost-effective, evidence-based, safe way, despite resource limitations.
Each of the chapters provides a valuable theoretical framework for common procedural skills and medical devices, knowledge which is often lacking in traditional medical training and becoming increasingly important in an age of technology and value-based care. As seen in the COVID-19 crisis, a deep understanding of pathophysiology and medical device design is required for safe and effective improvisation in low-resource of crisis settings.
This book provides both this broad framework and specific examples ready for implementation, making it a valuable resource for both novice and expert clinicians. Finally, the book provides a framework for practice of these skills through hands-on workshop and simulation scenarios.
