Communication and Teamwork
Conflict Resilience by
AN INSTANT USA TODAY BESTSELLER Two former Harvard faculty--one an internationally-recognized negotiator and conflict management expert from Harvard Law, the other a leading behavioral neurologist and cutting-edge scientist from Harvard Med--join forces to introduce conflict resilience: the radical act of sitting in and growing from conflict to break the bad habits that sabotage our politics, workplaces, and most important relationships. Conflict is getting the better of us. From our homes and community centers to C-Suites and Congress, disagreements are happening everywhere, with increasing frequency, and are being treated like zero-sum games that allow little margin for error and even less room for productive conversations. This puts a tremendous and untenable strain on our most important relationships and institutions. Unable or unwilling to negotiate conflict with skill, we ignore it or avoid it for as long as possible; when we are forced to face it, we escalate everyday disagreements and temporary flare-ups as if they're life-and-death. Neither approach addresses underlying issues, promotes stronger relationships, or yields satisfying results. But there is a solution: a combined skillset and mindset that Bob Bordone calls "conflict resilience"--the ability to sit genuinely with and grow from disagreement. In this powerful, hopeful book, he and renowned neurologist Joel Salinas, MD, combine the inner mechanics of conflict--literally what's going on in our bodies and our brains during moments of distress--with a groundbreaking three-step framework for how to navigate it: NAME (& dig deep) EXPLORE (& be brave) COMMIT (& own the conflict) In a time of increasing polarization, where consensus, agreement, and problem-solving can sometimes feel elusive, Conflict Resilience provides practical solutions to a common dilemma: How do you handle disagreements and differences with integrity while finding a way to create strong, deep, and lasting relationships Conflict Resilience is not another book about conflict resolution, nor is it about problem solving. Conflict Resilience combines practical applications of advanced conflict management and study of the human brain to teach anyone how to turn conflict and negotiation into an act of union. This book provides the most cutting-edge and scientifically-grounded tools for driving agreement when possible and for empowering you to disagree better when the differences cut deep and the relationships matter most. This is a chance to bring people together, and an invitation to radically transform how we interact with our friends and families, our co-workers, our students, and our neighbors--anyone with whom we find ourselves in disagreement.

Mechanical Ventilation in Critical Care Transport by
This book focuses on managing mechanical ventilation and its impact on physiology, primarily in the transport environment. Mechanical ventilation is one of the most common procedures in all critical care, including critical care transport. Yet the management of ventilation poses significant risks to the patient. In the transport environment, understanding the nuances of mechanical ventilation and its impact on physiology is extremely important.

Emergency Care
American Sirens by
The extraordinary story of an unjustly forgotten group of Black men in Pittsburgh who became the first paramedics in America, saving lives and changing the course of emergency medicine around the world. Until the 1970s, if you suffered a medical crisis, your chances of survival were minimal. A 9-1-1 call might bring police or even the local funeral home. But that all changed with Freedom House EMS in Pittsburgh, a group of Black men who became America's first paramedics and set the gold standard for emergency medicine around the world, only to have their story and their legacy erased--until now. In American Sirens, acclaimed journalist and paramedic Kevin Hazzard tells the dramatic story of how a group of young, undereducated Black men forged a new frontier of healthcare. He follows a rich cast of characters that includes John Moon, an orphan who found his calling as a paramedic; Peter Safar, the Nobel Prize-nominated physician who invented CPR and realized his vision for a trained ambulance service; and Nancy Caroline, the idealistic young doctor who turned a scrappy team into an international leader. At every turn, Freedom House battled racism--from the community, the police, and the government. Their job was grueling, the rules made up as they went along, their mandate nearly impossible--and yet despite the long odds and fierce opposition, they succeeded spectacularly. Never-before revealed in full, this is a rich and troubling hidden history of the Black origins of America's paramedics, a special band of dedicated essential workers, who stand ready to serve day and night on the line between life and death for every one of us.

Blind Spots by
An Instant New York Times Bestseller From Johns Hopkins medical expert Dr. Marty Makary, the New York Times-bestselling author of The Price We Pay-an eye-opening look at the medical groupthink that has led to public harm, and what you need to know about your health. More Americans have peanut allergies today than at any point in history. Why? In 2000, the American Academy of Pediatrics issued a strict recommendation that parents avoid giving their children peanut products until they're three years old. Getting the science perfectly backward, triggering intolerance with lack of early exposure, the US now leads the world in peanut allergies-and this misinformation is still rearing its head today. How could the experts have gotten it so wrong? Dr. Marty Makary asks, Could it be that many modern-day health crises have been caused by the hubris of the medical establishment? Experts said for decades that opioids were not addictive, igniting the opioid crisis. They refused menopausal women hormone replacement therapy, causing unnecessary suffering. They demonized natural fat in foods, driving Americans to processed carbohydrates as obesity rates soared. They told citizens that there are no downsides to antibiotics and prescribed them liberally, causing a drug-resistant bacteria crisis. When modern medicine issues recommendations based on good scientific studies, it shines. Conversely, when modern medicine is interpreted through the harsh lens of opinion and edict, it can mold beliefs that harm patients and stunt research for decades. In Blind Spots, Dr. Makary explores the latest research on critical topics ranging from the microbiome to childbirth to nutrition and longevity and more, revealing the biggest blind spots of modern medicine and tackling the most urgent yet unsung issues in our $4.5 trillion health care ecosystem. The path to medical mishaps can be absurd, entertaining, and jaw-dropping-but the truth is essential to our health.

Nursing Our Healer's Heart by
'...radically revealing and beautifully unfolding in its healing message to all nurses. The straightforward writing and illustrations, combined with depth of scholarship, bring the work and world of nursing to a new global community of wisdom for heart-centered caring-healing. Every nurse can heal from just reading this book, being mentored back to one's healing heart.' Jean Watson, PhD, RN, AHN-BC, FAAN, LL (AAN) Founder Watson Caring Science Institute The nursing profession is in crisis. Within a decade, the world will have just over half the number of nurses it needs. The global nursing workforce has experienced mass, complex trauma secondary to healthcare system inadequacies and a global pandemic. Traumatized and burned out nurses are leaving their roles or the profession in unprecedented numbers. Those who remain are stretched to or beyond their capacity. While system-level strategies aim to address this crisis, none of them consider nurse traumatization and its impact upon patient safety, outcomes, and quality of care. We cannot wait for health systems to prioritize nurse safety. Nurses can and must come together as a global community to heal through avoidable and unavoidable nurse-specific traumatization while partnering with healthcare leaders to usher in a new era of nursing. This book, through an actionable framework, guides nurses in healing the traumas and hardships they've endured as individuals and nursing communities. Grounded in the sciences of unitary caring, integrative nursing, neurophysiology, and transpersonal neurobiology, this book supports nurses in restoring their healers' heart as they come together to address the deep trauma, burnout, attrition, and presenteeism that are central to the nursing crisis. Nurses will learn the language of their nervous system and how to navigate it as a foundational practice to support professional wellbeing. Each nurse will discover their unique innate care plan, which will guide their healing and co-healing with other nurses. By embracing the healing and practices offered in this book, nurses will learn how to support their nervous system regulation so they can thrive instead of survive in practice. Working from their healed scars instead of their open wounds, nurses can effectively lead sustainable organizational change and health care reforms that prioritize nurse safety and professional wellbeing.

Children with Medical Complexity in the Emergency Department by
Emergency medicine (EM) physicians practicing in the community are often the first providers to care for acutely ill children with medical complexity (CMC) as they arrive to their local emergency departments, which are often outside of major cities and may be in underserved areas. While many of these patients are ultimately transferred to tertiary care facilities at major medical centers such as theirs, EM physicians play a critical role in acutely stabilizing these patients prior to transfer or discharge home. This is despite often not having received specific education in this patient population during their training. The purpose of this text is to provide an educational tool for physicians and other health care providers in the acute care of CMC. Comprised of clinical cases, it is a valuable resource for both early learners (e.g., pediatric residents, emergency medicine residents) as well as providers in practice who may see these patients regularly in the ED but did not receive extensive training on the care of CMC. Each chapter includes figures/tables/illustrations to aid in learning and ends with a summary in the form of 3-5 Take-Away Pearls. Edited by three board-certified pediatric hospitalists, Children with Medical Complexity in the Emergency Department serves to help equip emergency medicine practitioners to provide optimal care for the most vulnerable and medically fragile patients in the communities they serve in order to enhance patient outcomes and provide a better experience for the patients' families. Chapter authors have been recruited from the pediatrics and emergency medicine fields, including generalists as well as subspecialty experts in the areas of transplant medicine, gastroenterology, nephrology, and many more.

By approaching clinical medicine in a practical and demystified fashion, this engaging, focused guide helps you master your most important everyday tasks The clinical exam is a tangible way of truly being with another person while collecting key information. Humans are delightfully quirky, such that the way in which they describe symptoms often requires an open and tuned-in human ear to truly understand and contextualize their stories. Physical connection, providing comfort and healing through touch, can only be delivered when you are next to another living soul. Helping others through medicine is an immensely rewarding activity and being connected to someone, hearing their stories, and guiding their care in a hands-on manner, is a unique privilege that we should all hold onto tightly. With its pragmatic approach, Lange's History Taking Handbook, Physical Exam, and Functioning in the Hospital and Clinic helps make the learning process both fun and rewarding. Core behaviors are described which have diagnostic utility and prolonged applicability, even in a technology driven world. There are always new techniques to learn and unusual findings to incorporate into your personal libraries of medical experience. However, unless you take the time to build a solid foundation, you will never have confidence in the accuracy and value of what you can uncover with a sharp mind, attentive ear, agile fingers, and a few simple tools! Every section is constructed to answer the question: "What do I really need to know about this area?" The material is presented in a concise, bulleted fashion that is easy to read and follow. The focus is on skills and approaches, which should be readily applicable during clinical encounters. Exam techniques are described in step-by-step detail. Special maneuvers that are occasionally utilized are also described, as well as when they should be implemented. Photos and illustrations are incorporated to make the descriptions and techniques easier to understand and apply. There are chapters dedicated to every major organ system. In addition, care of specific patient groups are covered, including three chapters dedicated to pediatrics (Newborn, Toddler/Child and Adolescence), LGBTQ+ Health, and Geriatrics. Every chapter contains Pearls to draw attention to particularly noteworthy elements.

Neurodiversity-Affirming Therapy by
An essential guide to the paradigm shift required to empower your neurodivergent clients. Many mental health professionals are learning to recognize the ways in which neurodivergence can be part of someone's identity, rather than a disability. While many neurodivergent individuals have unique support needs, they are not broken, nor do they need to be cured of their neurodivergence. This neurodiversity-affirming model of care is not a specific set of therapeutic interventions, assessments, or steps a clinician must take to fit into a model. Rather, it is an underlying philosophy that recognizes individuals as the experts on their own lived experience, who can collaborate with mental health professionals to improve this experience. Those who want to support neurodivergent clients will learn the historical, practical, and clinical contexts of neurodiversity-affirming care. Reaching beyond autism (what many people exclusively associate with the term "neurodiversity"), the book encompasses the wide spectrum of differences in brain function and behavioral traits that form part of the human experience, and which include ADHD, dyslexia, and certain trauma responses and forms of anxiety. The book explores the nuances of affirming care in practice and the considerations that any provider should be aware of when working with neurodivergent clients. Everyone deserves appropriate support and freedom from the expectation to conform to neurotypical standards; with this trailblazing guide, clinicians can take the first, crucial steps towards meeting their neurodivergent clients' needs.

Personality and Wholeness in Therapy by
A new way to consider patterns of personality, with the combined application of neurobiology and traditional wisdom. Personality and Wholeness in Psychotherapy applies the perspective of interpersonal neurobiology to a traditional wisdom framework widely known as the Enneagram of Personality.

These strategies can be understood as nine Patterns of Developmental Pathways, or PDPs. This book provides mental health practitioners with both a theoretical understanding of PDPs and practical tools for implementing the framework in clinical settings. Readers will find detailed descriptions of the nine core patterns of personality as well as integrative practices specific to each of these patterns that can help people work towards states of well-being and wholeness. This innovative book has the potential to unlock deep and lasting change in problematic and perplexing patterns of thinking, feeling, and behaving, transforming personality from a prison to a playground for readers and clients alike.

Review and Certification
The ABSITE Blueprints by
The idea for the book emanated from the experience of one of the editors, Dr. Hana Ajouz, who encountered many general surgery residents who were seeking a good ABSITE review book from which to study, and none was found to be truly comprehensive and up-to-date. There is an immense need for a comprehensive yet concise and easy-to-use book that has a clear structure and one that reflects new findings, methods and references that current surgical residents will find to be applicable. The intentional structure of the book is simply this - capture the most pertinent information for each specialty that is on the SCORE® curriculum and frequently asked on the ABSITE exam and present it to the reader in a capsulized, simplified format of charts or tables. Hence, in addition to its study-friendly structure, this review book comprehensively mirrors most contemporary general surgery curricula. It also encompasses key operative steps of wider general surgery procedures, which most review books lack. Moreover, while most ABSITE review books are written by one or a few authors, each chapter in this book is reviewed/authored by someone with expertise in their specialty. This compiles the experience of many authorities into one resource helping general surgery residents stay up-to-date with the most recent and important concepts in the field.

Increased my score significantly. "If you're in nursing school you know mental health has a lot of gray areas. It's not like pharm or Med surg where it's 'this is right, and this is wrong'. This book helped me SIGNIFICANTLY to understand WHY certain answers were correct/incorrect. It helped me to think critically a different way than I'm used to. I failed my first mental health test. The second & third test after that I got OVER 90%. I did all the questions in this book under the section we were learning; read through the notes ONCE. And that's IT. DEFINITELY get this book if you're struggling in mental health or afraid of what's to come in mental health. Best decision I've made in nursing school so far."--Chelsey S. Online Reviewer Five Stars.

Social Work
Relational Caring and Presence Theory in Health Care and Social Work by
Three decades of neoliberal efficiency thinking about caring and care systems have resulted in a greater need for relationality in healthcare and social work than ever before. These support services extend beyond the giving of care and support to include the development of relationships between caregivers and their care recipients in their socio-institutional contexts. The culmination of over 30 years of research, this book provides an extensive and critical introduction to relational working in care, education and welfare. It explains what relational work is and proposes a new, human-orientated theory beyond the simple needs provision model. Demonstrating the kind of professionalism required for such work, it explores why it is as important to be present with and for people, especially those in precarious conditions, as it is to give care. This is essential reading for researchers, educators, quality officers, policy makers, students and practitioners interested in understanding the growing scholarship related to both care theory and presence theory.

Substance Abuse
Substance Use Disorders in Adult Critically Ill Patients by
The steady increase in individuals with substance use disorder requiring admission to the intensive care unit (ICU) has been an area of concern, leading to an increase in ICU utilization and costs related to both licit and illicit abuse of these drugs. Most recently, the COVID 19 pandemic has contributed to an increase in substance use and overdoses, with preliminary data suggesting an almost 30% increase in overdose deaths over the course of the pandemic. This increase in prevalence underscores the importance for the critical care practitioners to be knowledgeable about how substance use disorders impact the critically ill patient and understanding the epidemiology of substance use in critically ill patients. Management of patients with substance use disorders is complicated by the associated intoxication and withdrawal syndromes, as well as by the physiologic changes that occur with chronic use that can cause, predispose patients to, and worsen the severity of many conditions. This makes it vital that critical care providers are adept at identifying and treating common intoxication and withdrawal syndromes, as well as proficient at treatment considerations owing to chronic use of such addictive substances. This text provides a comprehensive, state-of-the-art review of the critical care implications of some of the commonly used addiction drugs and serves as a very useful resource for everyone involved in the care of critically ill patients impacted by substance use disorder. It provides a concise yet comprehensive summary of the status of the field that helps guide patient management and stimulate investigative efforts. All chapters are written by experts in their fields and include the most up to date scientific and clinical information.

Minimally Invasive Surgical Procedures for Pain by
In the last decade, a significant paradigm shift has occurred in the way complex spinal disorders are treated. Historically, after patients failed conservative treatments-largely consisting of therapy, medications, and injections-they would be left with only highly invasive open surgical options. Now, with the development of minimally invasive surgical techniques, patients often have significantly more effective and safer treatment options available. Minimally Invasive Surgical Procedures for Pain looks at the minimally invasive approaches that can be done percutaneously and under image guidance, instead of the traditional open approaches under direct visualization. The book discusses the basic concepts of spinal surgical approaches combined with an in-depth approach to the various techniques, with the overall goals of enhancing physician knowledge and leading to improved patient outcomes and safety. Topics include decompressive procedures, spinal implants, vertebral autmentation procedures, sacroiliac joint therapies, neuromodulation procedures, and more. The topics covered in the book are important to interventionalists, as well as physicians from traditional surgical backgrounds like neurosurgery and orthopedics. A first of its kind, this text details a balanced look at the proper surgical techniques for pain, as well as best practices.
