Description
Book SynopsisCardiac critical care is an emerging technology. The existing literature has bundles of protocols applied in cardiac critical care intensive care unit. However, there is no textbook that exists for students’ reference. For undergraduates, postgraduates, and paramedical staff in cardiac critical care medicine, the increased demand and growth in critical care for cardiac patients necessitates further training. Textbook of Cardiac Critical Care, a brand new, practical resource, helps meet that need.
The cardiac critical care division worldwide is still in its infancy, but the book has taken up the challenges of developing this evolving specialty with the entire modern infrastructure at its disposal for state-of-the-art delivery of health care to the most critically ill adult and pediatric cardiac patients.
Key Highlights:
- A straightforward approach, abundant detailed images, and latest references provide step-by-step guidance on the principles and effective use of important imaging modality in both diagnosis and assistance with specific procedures.
- Coverage includes the latest advances in ECMO, ECHO, and cardiac critical care.
- This must-have resource will help postgraduates in cardiac anaesthesia, surgery, cardiology, medicine, paediatrics, critical care, and ECMO specialists.
This book includes complimentary access to a digital copy on https://medone.thieme.com.
