Many readers may be familiar with David Werner's lay healthworker book, \u003cb\u003eWhere There Is No Doctor\u003c\/b\u003e; this new volume could be titled \u003cb\u003eWhere There Is a Doctor-But No Stuff\u003c\/b\u003e. Drawing from his experience providing care in international, wilderness, and disaster settings, he has compiled an impressive collection of bare-bones equipment and work-around strategies to provide the best possible care in resource-poor settings. While presenting many creative examples, the purpose of the book is not to offer an exhaustive list of solutions to missing resource challenges but to inspire creativity in readers who may find themselves needing to improvise.\"\u003c\/i\u003e -- \u003ci\u003eFamily Medicine\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFull of practical clinical pearls and proven strategies, this indispensible guide shows you how to operate outside your comfort zone and devise effective treatment solutions when the traditional tools (medications, equipment, and staff) are unavailable--or when you need to provide care outside of your specialty. \u003ci\u003eImprovised Medicine\u003c\/i\u003e is a must for anyone who plans to work in global, disaster, or other resource-poor settings.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFEATURES: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSimple-to-follow directions, diagrams, and illustrations describe practical techniques and the improvised equipment necessary to provide quality care during crises. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eContains improvisations in anesthesia and airway management, dentistry, gynecology\/obstetrics, infectious disease\/laboratory diagnosis, internal medicine, otolaryngology, pediatrics and malnutrition, orthopedics, psychiatry, and surgery.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlso includes basic disaster communication techniques, post-disaster forensics, a model hospital disaster plan, and innovative patient-transport methods.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLEARN HOW TO: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMake an endotracheal tube in seconds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePerform digital-oral and blind-nasotracheal intubations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMake plaster bandages for splints\/casts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGive open-drop ether, ketamine drips, and halothane\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUse subcutaneous\/intraperitoneal rehydration\/transfusion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMake ORS and standard nutrition formulas\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClean, disinfect, and sterilize equipment for reuse\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWarm blood units in seconds inexpensively\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTake\/view stereoscopic x-rays with standard equipment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eQuickly and easily stop postpartum hemorrhage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFashion surgical equipment from common items\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEvacuate patients easily for high-rise hospitals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMake esophageal and precordial stethoscopes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eQuickly improvise a saline lock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMake ECG electrode\/defibrillator pads and ultrasound gel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 578\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.1 x 8.9 x 5.9 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e December 27, 2011\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52705387348275,"sku":"9780071754972","price":169.45,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/aXFuMnJMMTl6RHVKeW9FZzVsbEhFQT09.webp?v=1763380461","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/improvised-medicine-providing-care-in-extreme-environments-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
