Main description:

This new edition has been fully revised to provide trainees with the latest advances and technologies in cardiac anaesthesia and cardiac critical care.

Divided into three sections, the book begins with discussion on cardiovascular anaesthesia, covering preoperative assessment and management, antiarrhythmic drugs, anaesthesia for surgery, paediatric cardiology, and more.

The second section describes the use of echocardiography for numerous cardiac disorders, enhanced by formulas, schematic diagrams, and videos. The final chapter in this section features MCQs based on videos from the accompanying DVD ROM.

Section three covers extracorporeal membrane oxygenation and critical care, and includes Michigan-based Extracorporeal Life Support Organisation (ELSO) guidelines.
