Book Description

This new volume in the "Requisites in Anesthesiology" series delivers succinct, yet comprehensive, clinically oriented coverage of cardiac and vascular anesthesia. It explores everything from the pathophysiology of the various cardiovascular conditions, through their clinical implications and surgical management, to the relevant monitoring, anesthesia procedures, and phar-macology. Practical, "high-yield" content makes this book ideal as a refresher for certification or recertification, and as a reference for everyday clinical practice.
