The second edition of this practical manual has been thoroughly updated, and also broadened to include the medical as well as surgical cardiothoracic ICU patient.

5.0 out of 5 stars Must Have for 1st, 2nd year Surgery residents!!!, October 13, 2003

Dr Feelgood "dmk5n" (Atlanta) - See all my reviews

This review is from: House Officer Guide to ICU Care: Fundamentals of Management of the Heart and Lungs (Paperback)

I vividly remember the fear during my surgical internship when everybody goes home and on I was on call for the SICU. It can be intimidating - especially those sick post CABG patients or lobectomy patients... and the nurse calls you at 2 am and you don't know what to do. And I wore cowboy boots everyday.
This book addresses all the problems you will encounter in these post operative patients and does so in a practical way. Swans, Pacers, cardioversion, chest tube problems, Vent management, arrthythmias, and more. Read this a couple of days BEFORE you are on call.
