"This book is a concise practical book on applied anatomy for invasive procedures for foundation and core trainees. Material is presented as procedures according to training pathways, rather than by anatomical area, so the information is ideally laid outfor trainees needing to equip themselves with the skills and knowledge for each clinical procedure or technique. In the classic style of the "At a Glance" series, each procedure is covered across a double-page spread, with photographs of surface anatomy and relevant line drawings which highlight salient points for performing the procedure safely. The second page complements the illustrative material and includes a written description of the procedural technique, with top tips and common anatomical pitfalls. In addition, the text includes potential exam questions related to the anatomy or clinical practice aspect of each procedure. The book is for foundation doctors and core trainees, but may also be of interest to anyone who needs to master invasive procedures in a clinical setting"--
Applied Anatomy for Clinical Procedures at a Glance is a concise resource combining high-quality images and step-by-step instructions to provide expert guidance on the major core training pathways in medicine, surgery and anaesthesia. Written by an experienced team of Foundation Training programme directors and clinical skills examiners, this unique revision and learning guide aligns with training pathways rather than anatomical area to support Foundation doctors and core trainees master these vital clinical procedures.
Succinct yet thorough descriptions of each procedure include photographs of surface anatomy, line diagrams of the anatomy, instructions on the procedural techniques, and practical tips for performing the procedures safely whilst minimising risks of complications. All major aspects of Foundation procedures and Core training in applied anatomy are covered, including catheterisation, ECGs, central venous cannulation, basic suturing and anastomotic techniques, endotracheal intubation, epidural injection and spinal injection, defibrillation, and many others.
