    • Alexandra Hough
    • English
    The latest edition of this must-have text book promises an evidence-based and practical approach covering the very latest in cardiorespiratory care. The textbook covers a wide range of cardiorespiratory conditions and discusses treatment of patients in different clinical settings such as critical care, the ward area and out-patient departments. It begins with physiology and pathology and progresses into a detailed patient assessment section and a discussion of specific respiratory and cardiac conditions. The final section covers different groups of people who may require physiotherapy such as infants, children, and adults with specific conditions including a considered section on palliative care. Critical thinking is facilitated by clinical reasoning boxes in the text, and problem-solving is aided by case studies at the end of each chapter. There are also relevant practice tips to enable transfer of learning into the clinical environment. The text is supported by over 280 line drawings and diagrams along with over 70 x-rays and photographs to further illustrate the points under discussion.

  • Orthophonie et oralité

    La sphère oro-faciale de l'enfant
    • 2nd Edition
    • Catherine Thibault
    • French
    Cet ouvrage pédagogique présente une approche originale et pionnière de la sphère oro-faciale autour de l’organe lingual. À partir des connaissances du développement de la face, l’auteur propose une meilleure compréhension des fentes oro-faciales, en particulier de la séquence de Pierre Robin. Elle montre la construction en parallèle chez le jeune enfant de l’oralité verbale et de son oralité alimentaire, ainsi que leur rôle de guides dans le développement de toutes les sensorialités à travers les systèmes proprioceptifs, visuel, auditif, olfactif et gustatif en prenant en compte son expérience antérieure (oralité primaire et secondaire), ses émotions, son environnement proche. Cette nouvelle édition met à jour et développe des notions fondamentales telles : - la prise en charge des troubles de l’oralité alimentaire - la prématurité - l’évaluation précise des troubles de la sphère oro-faciale - l’éducation gnoso-praxique orale précoce (en particulier pour les enfants à risque de dysoralité) et l’accompagnement parental adapté qui en découle - la rééducation du comportement neuromusculaire de la sphère oro-faciale, de la ventilation nasale, de la déglutition et de l’articulation de la parole. Cet ouvrage s’adresse aux orthophonistes (en formation et en exercice), aux professionnels impliqués dans la prise en charge des troubles de l’oralité alimentaire et verbale, et aux parents désireux de mieux appréhender les difficultés d’alimentation et de parole de leur enfant.
