Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From the Back Cover
In an effort to keep the size of the third edition of this hugely successful book manageable and concise, sections on thoracic surgery have been omitted and the revision is devoted to cardiac surgery alone. In addition to cutting and condensing, the material will be updated to reflect advances in equipment (circulatory assist devices, pacemakers, etc) procedures (balloon counterpulsation, shunting, etc.), and drug therapies, including the newest class of beta blockers, calcium channel blockers, and antiarrhythmia drugs.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Great book to have as a reference!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Manual of Perioperative Care in Cardiac Surgery, Third Edition (Paperback)
This book is a very concise, easy to read, well written reference to have around the ICU, step-down, etc. It is perfect for someone new to the speciality or if you are looking for another way "to skin the cat". Covers everything that could come up post-operatively. I highly reccommend it.

5.0 out of 5 stars
perfect book for my orientation to CV-ICU,
By Dann R Thornton (New Bern, NC USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Manual of Perioperative Care in Cardiac Surgery, Third Edition (Paperback)
I began my preceptorship as a nurse in a small open heart ICU with this book as my reference. It was suggested to me by one of our surgeons who told me that if I could read the whole book I could do his job. I have studied the book extensively and it has become my most valuable tool in learning my new job. I highly recomend it for anyone working in cardiovascular surgical units!
