"The consequences of postoperative complications include the inconvenience to the patient, their relatives, work and lifestyle, complaints and litigation against the medical staff, and increased periods of hospitalisation, with the associated cost implications. Handbook of Postoperative Complications is divided into two sections; the first covers general complications such as pressure sores, complications of fluid balance and problems related to anaesthesia. Section two focuses in one the complications encountered in all of the major surgical specialities." "Handbook of Postoperative Complications will be essential reading for all trainee surgeons, medical students, operating theatre staff, nurses, rehabilitation staff and general practitioners responsible for the care of surgical patients after their discharge from hospital."--BOOK JACKET |
