Description
Book SynopsisClinical simulations are practical learning experiences designed to give students exposure to a comprehensive range of clinical scenarios that may be encountered in the workplace.
This book is a comprehensive reference guide to clinical simulations in the field of cardiology and critical care.
Beginning with an introduction to simulation and its role in medicine, the following sections explain simulations for a variety of scenarios including transthoracic echocardiography, transoesophageal echocardiography, perioperative bleeding in cardiac surgery, hemodynamic monitoring, ECMO and pain medicine, and paediatric simulation.
The book includes nearly 600 clinical photographs, diagrams and tables and also covers recent American Heart Assocation (AHA) guidelines on resuscitation.
