Description
This new bedside manual guides you through all the practical aspects of managing patients following cardiothoracic surgery and critically
ill cardiology patients. Primarily designed to use in cardiothoracic intensive care units and coronary care units, it covers the perioperative
management for the full range of cardiothoracic surgical procedures, the management of complications, and related issues. Core topics
in cardiothoracic critical care, such as hemodynamic instability, arrhythmias, bleeding, and mechanical cardiac support, are afforded
broad coverage. Also included are sections on advanced ventilatory techniques and veno-venous ECMO for treating severe respiratory failure,
as well as nutritional support, treating and preventing infection, renal failure, and care of the dying patient. Concisely written and
featuring liberal use of illustrations as well as an integrated, tightly edited style, and a limited number of key references, this volume
will become your reference of choice for the care of of cardiothoracic surgery patients and critically ill cardiology patients. Also
included is a companion CD-ROM featuring over 700 still and 200 video clips of radiographs, CT scans, MRI scans, and echocardiograms,
both transthoracic and transesophageal.
