Gastroenterology and hepatology for nurses

Nursing as a field, like medicine, is currently developing and specialising. Basic nursing education can only provide nurses with a certain amount of special knowledge in addition to general knowledge. The knowledge and skills of each specialty are then the subject of other more narrowly focused publications.
Our team of leading physicians and experienced nurses has prepared a book that addresses the specifics of caring for patients with digestive diseases. The text begins with a description of the individual anatomical structures and an explanation of the functions of the digestive tract. The introduction of the book includes chapters on examination methods in gastroenterology and patient preparation for endoscopic examinations. The main part of the book consists of a discussion of the onenocarcinomas of the digestive tract arranged according to the individual organs. A great emphasis is placed on intensive care and dietetics, and the book also contains chapters on digestive tract tumours and stomas. The text would not be complete without a chapter on complications of endoscopic examinations. The last chapter, which describes the history of endoscopic examination, will certainly interest the reader.
