A clinical reference in cardiac anesthesia, which itself continues to be the most vibrant subspecialty in anesthesia. This large handbook serves effectively as a mid-range option between smaller handbooks and textbooks. Its outline format contains all the information on drugs, monitoring, cardiopulmonary bypass, circulatory support, and management of specific cardiac disorders necessary for residents, fellows in cardiac anesthesia, practitioners, and CRNAs. It incorporates clinically relevant basic science into a very clinical, "What-to-do" approach, and is thus popular with generalists who do some cardiac work (as almost all anesthesiologists do). It is used to study for the ABA boards and the SCA certifying exam. Read more... The cardiac surgical patient / Donald E. Martin and Charles E. Chambers -- Cardiovascular drugs / Jeffrey R.

The most widely used clinical reference in cardiac anesthesia, this large handbook provides complete information on drugs, monitoring, cardiopulmonary bypass, circulatory support, and anesthetic management of specific cardiac disorders. It incorporates clinically relevant basic science into a practical "what-to-do" approach and is written in an easy-to-read outline format.
This edition has a new chapter on surgical ventricular restoration, LV aneurysm, and CHF-related surgical procedures. Chapters provide increased coverage of postoperative atrial fibrillation prevention and treatment, drugs in perioperative risk reduction, and the role of inhalational anesthetics in organ protection via anesthetic preconditioning. This edition also has a revamped art program.
