"Health Messenger" Magazine No. 39 (1) -- Technical cards (Vol. 1)

Description: 

A technical card is a practical course intended to assist medical or paramedical personnel to operate a basic, specific and clearly identified type of care. Medico-technical procedures are potentially high-risk situations, particularly when physicians are novice/inexperienced or if they have not performed the procedure recently. The objectives of this HM issue 39 are:- • For medical practitioners to master the technical skills in basic medical procedures • To minimize the risk of medical errors and clinical complications • To educate and support practitioner about how to prepare and infrom the patient before each procedure. In this issue, indications, contraindications, and complications are explained in an easy-to-understand fashion. Patient positioning, anatomical landmarks and procedural techniques are demonstrated in a systematic approach, for better understanding both for the medical personnel conducting the procedure as well as the patient.
