The Bionic Human: Health Promotion for People with Implanted Prosthetic Devices

Book Overview

There are tens of millions of patients with various implanted medical devices in their bodies, and there is very little written about the management of these patients after device implantation. This volume fills this gap by providing an in-depth analysis of practices for managing patients from experts at prestigious medical centers throughout the world. Justification of the practices employed are provided for each with an emphasis on patients who are asymptomatic and have recovered from the implantation procedures. This book presents an authoritative treatment of the topic, making it the definitive current reference work. Truly international in scope, this work provides a worldwide perspective in a one-volume reference for physicians and surgeons for managing their prosthetic device patients.
