Features: "A workman must first sharpen his tools if he wishes to do his work well." Through years of medical practice, Peking Union Medical College Hospital (PUMCH) has accumulated extensive clinical experience in diagnosis and treatment, saving countless patients' lives and playing a positive role in advancing modern medicine in China. To systematically and scientifically summarize the experience of PUMCH, experts, professors, and medical staff from various clinical departments have collaborated, worked diligently, and compiled the "Peking Union Medical College Hospital Medical Diagnosis and Treatment Protocols" series (hereinafter referred to as "Protocols").
Medical quality is the eternal theme of hospitals, serving as the foundation for their survival and development. Guided by the philosophy of patient-centered care in the broader society, PUMCH has always prioritized patients' interests. All levels and types of medical staff strictly adhere to national laws and regulations and meticulously follow clinical procedures, which are the fundamental guarantees of medical quality. The publication of the "Protocols" series not only summarizes past work experience but also elevates it to a theoretical level, representing the crystallization of wisdom from generations of PUMCH members. The book embodies PUMCH's spirit of "Three Basics" (basic theories, basic knowledge, and basic skills) and "Three Rigors" (serious attitude, rigorous methods, and strict requirements), fully reflecting the contemporary clinical techniques and standards of PUMCH.
As medicine evolves, the "Protocols" series will continue to be supplemented, improved, and refined. It is hoped that it can provide some reference for fellow medical professionals. We sincerely wish that the "Protocols" become a "sharp tool" for clinical medical workers, playing a positive role in the fight against diseases. Given the of medical theory, the "Protocols" series may inevitably contain shortcomings, and we welcome criticism and corrections from medical peers.
Based on years of clinical practice, Peking Union Medical College Hospital has compiled a series of books reflecting its current medical diagnosis and treatment standards—"Peking Union Medical College Hospital Medical Diagnosis and Treatment Protocols." This series includes 37 volumes covering departments such as Cardiology, Hematology, Respiratory Medicine, Endocrinology, Infectious Diseases, Immunology, Allergy, Gastroenterology, Neurology, Nephrology, General Surgery, Orthopedics, Thoracic Surgery, Cardiac Surgery, Urology, Neurosurgery, Plastic Surgery, Vascular Surgery, Anesthesiology, Obstetrics and Gynecology, Pediatrics, Dermatology, Laser Therapy, Radiology, Ultrasound Medicine, Emergency Medicine, Critical Care Medicine, Otolaryngology, Stomatology, Ophthalmology, Pathology, Laboratory Medicine, Oncology-Chemotherapy, Radiation Oncology, Nuclear Medicine, Physical Rehabilitation, and Nutrition, covering most clinical and technical departments. The publication of these books meets the needs of clinical medical work and modern hospital management. They serve not only as systematic guides for PUMCH's clinical operations but also as references for medical peers nationwide.
The editor-in-chief believes that the compilation of this series is a summary and refinement of past work experience, aiming to provide basic procedures and methods for clinical practice. It reflects currently mature and applicable methods and technologies, which will need to be continuously supplemented and revised as disciplines develop. The publication of this series does not hinder the advancement of new medical technologies or technological improvements.
