Description
Woodhead and Wicker's new text will be the foremost reference source for all perioperative practitioners. The content mirrors the dynamics
of modern perioperative practice by focusing on surgical interventions in all the environments in which it is currently practised, including
A&E departments, general practice clinics, intensive care units, and at the site of serious accidents. Theatre practice is becoming
increasingly specialist; this book does not attempt to to reflect the needs of all specialties, but instead concentrates on the principles
of practice, applicable to any setting and any specialty. It has a very practical focus - it aims to be the book that nurses and ODPs
reach for in order to answer their practical questions - but is not be procedure-driven. Instead, it sets out the principles of perioperative
practice, from which practitioners will be able to develop their own practice techniques.
