Manual of Perioperative Care in Adult Cardiac Surgery, 6th Edition

Now in its sixth edition, Robert M. Bojar's Manual of Perioperative Care in Adult Cardiac Surgery
remains the go-to practical guide for all of those involved in the care
of the cardiac surgery patient. Written in outline format, it provides a
comprehensive, detailed, and clearly explained review of cardiac
surgical disease and perioperative management that is of value to
practicing cardiac surgeons as well as to cardiologists, residents,
fellows, advanced practice providers, critical care and floor nurses,
perfusionists, and medical students.

Extensively rewritten with
updated references to incorporate the latest concepts, guidelines,
protocols, and medications used in cardiac surgical practice, this
classic text retains the pragmatic features that have made it the gold
standard reference that clinicians have used worldwide for the past 30
years.

Highlights include:

• Full coverage of
  cardiac surgical diseases, including pathophysiology, indications for
  surgery per guidelines, and figures of operative procedures and
  diagnostic techniques, with a panoply of examples
• Chronologic
  evaluation of patients from preoperative assessment to intraoperative
  considerations to postoperative care for each procedure
• Extensive
  chapters discussing organ system management in the ICU, followed by a
  discussion of later postoperative management and problems
• Incorporation of newer techniques (TAVR, Mitraclip, etc.) within the chronologic format
• Easy
  access to information using an outline format, markers on the free
  edges to identify chapters, synopsis pages at the beginning of each
  chapter, and a comprehensive index to provide easy referencing within
  the text
• Updated references throughout that are available from on-line resources
• 21 appendices summarizing order sheets, protocols, commonly used drug doses, body mass index, and other important information
