About the Book:

The first time you use Atlas of Bedside Procedures, you will see just how successfully Dr. Vander Salm and his colleagues have accomplished their task. Now in its second edition, this unique reference is an up-to-date guide to the safest, most efficient methods of performing common bedside procedures. It is ideal for house officers, students, and practitioners.

Each of the 50 chapters outlines a standard technique for performing one procedure. Exceptionally clear drawings are keyed to step-by-step instructions. In addition, each procedure summary

lists the necessary equipment
includes specific indications and contraindications
discusses both the causes and the prevention of major complications.

For further convenience, the appendix lists the equip-ment for each procedure in the form most appropriate for collection.

The extensively revised second edition offers ten new chapters, including a valuable addition by Dr. Lazar Greenfield, originator of the Greenfield filter, on the percutaneous placement of an inferior vena caval filter. The Seldinger technique, now the standard method for percutaneous vascular cannulation, is util-ized in 13 chapters.

Atlas of Bedside Procedures, Second Edition, is valuable to both the student who is attempting his or her first peripheral intravenous cannulation and to the practitioner who needs a quick review of feeding tube insertion. Revised and updated to include the latest procedures and equipment, it is an outstanding source of accurate, practical information for all physicians.
