Radically re-written and updated, the second edition of this popular text introduces the reader to all aspects of theatre nursing, and to the developments that have taken place in surgical technique. The coverage includes theatre nursing practice, patient assessment, preparing, implementing and evaluating care plans and perioperative care. Day surgery and developments in laser technology, plus endoscopic and laparoscopic surgery are all discussed, making this a particularly useful text for Project 2000 students and trainee operating department assistants.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
