This book provides a practical approach to cardiac
perioperative care. The step-by-step format guides readers from basic
concepts, such as cardiac physiology and pharmacology, to anesthetic
management of specific cardiac surgical procedures, including cardiac
percutaneous interventions, management of specific cardiac disease,
circulatory support, and organ protection strategies. Written by
experienced cardiac anesthesiologists in Europe, USA, Canada and
Australia, this book provides an international perspective on the topic
with each chapter referring the reader to the relevant key reading.
Cardiac Anesthesia and Postoperative Care in the 21st Century
is aimed at new consultants in cardiac anesthesia and intensive care,
residents, and fellows. It may also be of interest to perfusionists and
is a refreshing update for the experienced cardiac anesthesiologist.
