Full Description
**Selected for 2025 Doody's Core Titles® in Anesthesiology & Pain Medicine**
Current, comprehensive, and evidence-based, Kaplan's Cardiac Anesthesia: Perioperative and Critical Care Management, 8th Edition, offers practical guidance from today's international leaders in cardiac anesthesiology, helping you to optimize perioperative outcomes, avoid complications, and ensure maximum patient safety. Dr. Joel A. Kaplan, along with an expert team of associate editors, guides you through today's clinical challenges, including expanded coverage of critical care, the newest approaches to perioperative assessment and management, state-of-the art diagnostic techniques, and cardiovascular and coronary physiology.
Covers the full spectrum of contemporary cardiothoracic anesthesia practice, including preoperative assessment, physiology, pharmacology, monitoring, transesophageal echocardiography, coagulation, specific cardiac procedures, extracorporeal circulation, postoperative pain treatment, and management of the complex patient with cardiac disease
Includes expanded coverage of critical care topics, reflecting the increased perioperative care now provided by anesthesiologists in the ICU
Contains new chapters on Structural Heart Disease Procedures; Cardiorespiratory Effects of COVID-19; Critical Care Ultrasound; Intensive Unit Management of Patients on Mechanical Circulatory Support; and Postoperative Care of the Heart and Lung Transplant Patient
Features more than 900 full-color illustrations, decision trees, charts, and graphs (over one-third are new) that aid in visual understanding of complex topics
Provides access to over 120 videos, including a range of echocardiography clips
Contains balanced, dependable, and updated content on all aspects of the anesthetic management of cardiac surgical procedures, as well as cardiology procedures performed in catheterization and electrophysiologic laboratories
Places new emphasis on cardiac devices requiring perioperative care, including cardiac implanted electrical devices and ventricular assist devices
An eBook version is included with purchase. The eBook allows you to access all of the text, figures and references, with the ability to search, customize your content, make notes and highlights, and have content read aloud
