  Extracorporeal Circulation in Theory and Practice

  Perfusionists are primarily known for supporting patients in the cardiac operating room, while on cardiopulmonary bypass. Over the last decade, perfusionists have expanded their expertise to include extracorporeal membrane oxygenation program development and management, ventricular assist device management, intra-aortic balloon counter pulsation, hemofiltration or dialysis during or post cardiac surgery, pacemaker rogramming, anticoagulation management of HIT-patients, isolated organ perfusion for chemotherapy, and blood gas management. Furthermore, there are additional responsibilities in catheterization laboratories, as well as in research studies and publications. While the roles and responsibilities of a perfusionist can vary from hospital to hospital, the complexity and variety of tasks performed require extensive training and ducation, both in theory and practice.This book is intended to serve as a comprehensive review for perfusionists, surgeons, anesthesiologists, pulmonologists, pediatricians, neonatologists, ICU nurses and ECMO specialists and we believe that it will help to enhance theoretical and practical knowledge and understanding for extracorporeal treatments.

  Sane Child vs. Insane Society: Some Thoughts on Education (2017) is a scholarly article that contends that children are born sane and are rendered more or less insane by an educational system that, till now, considers the human being as the impossible human - that is, a creature that is basically faulty and has to be improved and upgraded by education and morality.The present view opposes this age-old educational paradigm and shows that traditional education brings about fragmentation, ignorance, and widespread violence. The article emphasizes the natural integrity and wholeness of the small child, who is by nature a systems thinker. The article is a shortened version of the author’s book Creative-C Learning: The Innovative Kindergarten (2015/2017), in which the author emphasizes the need for teaching emotional awareness to teachers and presents techniques to be applied in the vocational training for early childcare workers and preschool teachers that teach how to cope with stress and that show the details of the trust-building process both between teachers and students and between parents and teachers.The audience for this article is all those involved in educating children as well as educational policymakers, parents, educational associations, politicians, pediatricians, child psychologists, and the lay public, especially those who are looking for a new way to educate children now and in the future. ungekürzt.

  The Spirit Catches You and You Fall Down: A Hmong Child, Her American Doctors, and the Collision of Two Cultures , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 817min

  Winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award for Nonfiction When three-month-old Lia Lee arrived at the county hospital emergency room in Merced, California, a chain of events was set in motion from which neither she nor her parents nor her doctors would ever recover. Lia's parents, Foua and Nao Kao, were part of a large Hmong community in Merced, refugees from the CIA-run "Quiet War" in Laos. The Hmong, traditionally a close-knit people, have been less amenable to assimilation than most immigrants, adhering steadfastly to the rituals and beliefs of their ancestors. Lia's pediatricians, Neil Ernst and his wife, Peggy Philip, cleaved just as strongly to another tradition: that of Western medicine. When Lia Lee entered the American medical system, diagnosed as an epileptic, her story became a tragic case history of cultural miscommunication. Parents and doctors both wanted the best for Lia, but their ideas about the causes of her illness and its treatment could hardly have been more different. The Hmong see illness and healing as spiritual matters linked to virtually everything in the universe while medical community marks a division between body and soul and concerns itself almost exclusively with the former. Lia's doctors ascribed her seizures to the misfiring of her cerebral neurons; her parents called her illness qaug dab peg - the spirit catches you and you fall down - and ascribed it to the wandering of her soul. The doctors prescribed anticonvulsants; her parents preferred animal sacrifices. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Pamela Xiong.
