[Dealing with the bleeding patient, being effective with (almost) nothing]. / Face au patient hémorragique, être efficace avec (quasiment) rien.

The practice of pre-hospital care, whether you are a professional rescuer, a nurse, a doctor or a simple citizen, sometimes exposes you to the management of a patient who presents an acute hemorrhage. The prognosis is quickly life-threatening if the safety, assessment, life-saving gestures and activation of the rescue chain are not carried out. A basic, inexpensive first aid kit can further reduce morbidity and mortality. Training first responders in life-saving techniques is a public health issue.

[The private practice nurse and environmental health]. / L'infirmier libéral et la santé environnementale.

[Private practice nurses and support for patients' return home in cardiology]. / Les infirmiers libéraux et l'accompagnement du retour à domicile en cardiologie.

It also gives private practice nurses the chance to develop new expertise. The follow-up is personalised and established jointly with the patient and the multi-professional team.
