Core Topics in Cardiac Anaesthesia / Edition 3

by Joseph Arrowsmith, Andrew Roscoe, Jonathan Mackay

Overview

This fully-updated third edition provides a practical and concise guide to all aspects of the perioperative care of cardiac surgical patients. Produced by recognised leaders from world-renowned cardiac centres, this is the authoritative text for residents and fellows in anaesthesia and cardiac surgery, clinical perfusionists, and critical care nurses. Updated chapters include regional anesthesia, paediatric cardiac anaesthesia, and anaesthesia for specific procedures such as aortic valve surgery and cardiac transplantation. An entire section is dedicated to transoesophageal echocardiography (TOE) in recognition of the increasing demand for basic TOE training. The book also includes an expanded chapter on the applications and anaesthetic implications of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). The text focuses on clinical practice and the basic science and pharmacology underpinning cardiac anaesthesia, ensuring the reader can easily apply the knowledge gained to real-life situations.

Editorial Reviews

Reviewer: Harish Ram, MD (University of Kentucky College of Medicine)
Description: This book is practical, covering the important facets of cardiac anesthesia, yet handy as each topic is simple and concise with relevant information. It begins with a section on routine cardiac surgery to match the domain of cardiac anesthesia, wherein care is provided in a dynamic surgical environment. Subsequent sections encroach the spectrum of cardiac anesthesia including recent advances like mechanical circulatory support, structural heart disease, and pain management. Fundamental principles and key elements of practice rather than listing available, infinite information is the emphasis throughout the book for an easy and rapid understanding. Compared to the second edition published in 2012, the current edition is a concise update rather than a redesign, where retained topics have been refined with critical care being excluded and recent advances included.
Purpose: The purpose is to provide a quick overview of cardiac anesthesia in a manner that the readers get the big picture without being lost to the intricacies of subtle and obscure details. It gives a complete introduction to the subject that allows one to put their clinical observations into perspective, providing a structural framework. It clarifies updated information that provides for an easy grasp in a timely manner. The book will boost the intellectual development of the subspecialty by setting good practice standards for novices, upon which further knowledge can be acquired.
Audience: The intended audience for the book is trainees in cardiac anesthesia, who are the future of the specialty. While a trainee or student starting clinical practice would find it ideal to obtain the big picture, even practitioners will find it intriguing as cardiac anesthesia is rapidly growing. It is also a good condensed resource for academicians interested in teaching students, while nurse practitioners taking care of cardiac patients would find it handy at the bedside. Finally, this book is for those interested in obtaining a bird's eye view of cardiac anesthesia and an invaluable resource for anyone looking to read about important topics in cardiac anesthesia in a clear and concise manner.
Features: The third edition draws on the experience of 59 authors from across the world. It is well organized with 40 chapters divided into eight sections, starting off with basic principles of cardiac surgery, progressing to specific procedures, and then going over subspecialties, including cardiopulmonary bypass, transesophageal echocardiography, and recent advances. Abbreviations are listed first to ensure there is minimal repetition. The book is published in full color, in an up-to-date and easily readable format. Key points are summarized at the end of each chapter, and tables and boxes are emphasized in artistic colors to assist readers in harboring key concepts. Long lists of references at the end of each chapter is intentionally avoided, while an exhaustive index directs readers to locate important information.
Assessment: This book is clearly distinct, with its contents laid out with the student in mind. It provides a much-needed resource at hand for a rapid overview of core topics in cardiac anesthesia. In this rapidly changing era, it bridges gaps across continents by presenting a corral of updated information in a simple yet illustrative and thoughtful manner.
