Netter's Introduction to Clinical Procedures

by Marios Loukas MD, PhD, R. Shane Tubbs PhD, MSc, PA-C, Joseph Feldman MD, FACEP

Overview

Written with the student in mind, Netter's Introduction to Clinical Procedures, by Drs. Marios Loukas, R. Shane Tubbs, and Joseph Feldman, uses the well-known Netter anatomy art as a foundation for reinforcing the relevant clinical anatomy needed to successfully understand and perform basic procedures. Learn the practical application of this knowledge with step-by-step guides incorporating concise text, images, and animation.

• Didactic Netter illustrations provide clear informative visuals for quick understanding of anatomical relationships.
• Concise explanations enhance understanding of clinical underpinnings and implications.
• More than 30 common clinical procedures are explained and demonstrated with step-by-step illustrations.
• Multiple choice questions reinforce key concepts and challenge your knowledge.
• Student Consult eBook version included with purchase. This enhanced eBook experience includes access — on a variety of devices — to the complete text, animation, "test yourself" images, and references from the book.

About the Author

R. Shane Tubbs, MS, PA-C, PhD is a native of Birmingham, Alabama, USA and a is a clinical anatomist, author, editor, educator, and researcher. He is Professor of Neurosurgery, Neurology, Surgery, and Structural & Cellular Biology, Director of Surgical Anatomy at Tulane School of Medicine and Program Director of Anatomical Research in the Clinical Neuroscience Research Center at Tulane University School of Medicine, New Orleans, Louisiana and Department of Neurosurgery and Ochsner Neuroscience Institute Ochsner Health System, New Orleans, LA. He has multiple honorary professorships/faculty positions both in the US and abroad. Dr. Tubbs is President-elect of the American Association of Clinical Anatomists (AACA) and serves as its Journal’s (Clinical Anatomy) Editor-in-Chief. Dr. Tubbs’ research interests are centered around what has been termed “reverse translational anatomy research” where clinical/surgical problems are identified and solved/explained with anatomical studies. This investigative paradigm in anatomy has resulted in over 1,800 peer reviewed publications from his laboratory. Dr. Tubbs’ laboratory has made novel discoveries in human anatomy and in 2018, he was listed as a “hyperprolific author” in the journal Nature. Dr. Tubbs sits on the editorial board of over 10 anatomical journals and over 30 clinical journals and has reviewed for over 150 various scientific journals. He has authored/edited over 50 books and over 80 book chapters primarily in anatomical and neurosurgical textbooks. Lastly, Dr. Tubbs is Chair of the Federative International Programme on Anatomical Terminologies (FIPAT) and oversees six working groups dedicated to this topic. Under his leadership, the second edition of Terminologia Anatomica was just published.

Netter. It’s how you understand the clinical anatomy behind basic procedures

Editorial Reviews

Reviewer: Vincent F Carr, DO, MSA, FACC, FACP (Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences)
Description: This book leverages the extensive Netter collection of images to give overview images of how to set up and perform selected procedures on patients. An accompanying website includes an ebook version as well as other resources, including videos of procedures.
Purpose: The purpose is to provide an overview of what is commonly involved with a procedure that students will hear mentioned on rounds or in the clinic, but may have never seen performed.
Audience: The audience is primarily students and those responsible for teaching patient care and procedures in clinical rotations.
Features: Each of the 38 chapters outlines a specific procedure such as endotracheal intubation, sonography assessment of trauma, or arterial line placement. Chapters provide an explanatory introduction and the relevant anatomy that must be understood, with many Netter depictions of the anatomy. The chapters define the indications for the procedure and the contraindications, and provide lists of equipment needed and descriptions of how the procedure is performed. Equally important are the sections on pitfalls of the procedure and discussions of the potential complications. Finally, there are selected references and review questions. The website adds 33 videos of selected procedures and sonograms.
Assessment: This is an outstanding book that uses the extraordinary Netter images that medicine has relied upon for decades to provide an overview of many of the common procedures encountered in medical practice.
