The clinical treatments described and recommended in this publication are based on research and consultation
with nursing, medical, and legal authorities. To the best of our knowledge, these procedures reflect currently
accepted practice. Nevertheless, they can’t be considered absolute and universal recommendations. For
individual applications, all recommendations must be considered in light of the patient’s clinical condition
and, before administration of new or infrequently used drugs, in light of the latest package-insert information.
The authors and publisher disclaim any responsibility for any adverse effects resulting from the suggested
procedures, from any undetected errors, or from the reader’s misunderstanding of the text.
