Index.

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.

• A fully updated new edition, consolidating several basic science chapters and expanding on treatments that are increasing in demand, such as transoesophageal echocardiography (TOE) and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO)
• Focuses on clinical practice rather than the basic science and pharmacology of cardiac anaesthesia, ensuring it is more useful and can be applied in everyday situations
• An authoritative text produced by internationally recognised, leading experts working at world-renowned cardiac centres
