This book is an accessible, evidence-based, succinct and practical reference for those providing hands-on care to patients with acute pancreatitis. It represents the most updated results of clinical science and offers the frameworks that underpin the disease and its management. The first part of the book presents the latest clinical science and illustrates a clear indication of what is known, and what are the gaps in our understanding of the disease. The second part provides practical clinical management guidelines. The chapters are designed to bring recommendations, practical points to facilitate navigation, easy access of knowledge, and highlights key decision points and options.
Acute Pancreatitis - A Practical Guide for Clinicians is relevant to not only clinicians involved in patient care but medical, nursing and dietitian students, surgical and gastroenterology researchers, companies and agencies.
The book comprehensively covers acute pancreatitis, associating it with local pancreatic complications, systemic inflammation and organ failures, also providing management algorithms. This practical reference book is an introduction to disease management, indicating why topics addressed in each chapter are essential, providing valuable guidance for day-to-day treatment by professionals globally.
