Clinician-performed bedside ultrasound is an exciting new development in medicine. Numerous diagnostic and procedural applications show great promise for improving the care of children. Many pediatric providers, however, remain unaware of its potential and ultrasound continues to be under-utilized in both the investigation and management of ill and injured children. Case Studies in Pediatric Emergency and Critical Care Ultrasound illustrates the utility of bedside ultrasound in a variety of scenarios, including the emergency setting and critical care unit. A wide range of diagnostic and procedural applications are covered in fifty-nine cases, recreating real-life experiences of expert practitioners. The cases are concise and readable, with teaching points that highlight how ultrasound can be used to expedite and focus pediatric care. With hundreds of high-quality images, and video content accompanying many cases, this text is essential reading for pediatricians, emergency physicians, pediatric anesthesiologists and critical care physicians.

This book provides a comprehensive overview of current standards of anesthesia and intensive care in neonates and children, with a view to promoting standardization in clinical practice. The first part of the book, devoted to issues in intensive care, opens by considering scoring systems for the assessment of sick children. The diagnosis, prevention, and management of ventilator-associated pneumonia are then discussed, and the roles of high-frequency oscillatory ventilation and noninvasive respiratory support are reviewed. Further chapters address procedural sedation and analgesia in children, the progress toward 'open' ICUs with liberal visiting policies, and advances in long-term home mechanical ventilation. In the second part of the book, a range of important topics in anesthesia and perioperative medicine are discussed. After a review of safety issues, current trends in pediatric regional and locoregional anesthesia are described and a synopsis is provided on current knowledge regarding the use of central blocks in infants and children. Subsequent chapters are devoted to awareness monitoring, single-lung ventilation techniques, anesthesia in the context of severe prematurity, and emergence delirium. Pediatric Anesthesia, Intensive Care and Pain: Standardization in Clinical Practice will be an extremely useful source of information for both novices and more experienced practitioners in the field.

All'interno di un reparto di pediatria oncologica si genera una realtà complessa, carica di esperienze forti legate allo sviluppo della malattia e, ancor più, all'età del paziente. Con rigore metodologico, in questi quattro anni ci siamo chiesti: come si può lavorare con la musicoterapia in un processo di cura caratterizzato da tante criticità? E quale metodo è opportuno seguire in questo contesto? Presto ci siamo resi conto che l'incertezza del decorso clinico arrivava a mettere a dura prova la stabilità emotiva anche di noi musicoterapisti e degli altri operatori e condizionava perfino la possibilità di un percorso/progetto terapeutico. Tutto ci portava inevitabilmente a riflettere non solo sulla validità della metodologia ma anche sulle risposte esistenziali da dare quando ci si interroga sul significato della vita in situazioni così delicate ed estreme.
