Caring for patients with vascular disease has always been a
challenging and complex area of care for both nurses and other
healthcare professionals. In the past, patients with vascular
disease were cared for under the umbrella of ?general surgery?.
There is now a clearer understanding of the need to provide
specialist nursing to meet the needs of vascular patients. This
book addresses all aspects of care and management for different
vascular conditions and stages of the disease process that the
nurse will encounter. Guidance is given in dealing with some of the
very challenging aspects of vascular nursing such as pressure sore
prevention, pain and wound management, as well as palliative care
provision for patients with end stage vascular disease. It will
help nurses and other healthcare professionals involved in caring
for vascular patients to update and expand their knowledge of
developments in conservative, radiological and surgical aspects of
care. Shelagh Murray has drawn together the work of specialists who
are experts within their field of practice, and the book covers all
aspects of vascular nursing. Contents:
