Intensive Care of the Adult with Congenital Heart Disease (eBook, PDF)

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Dedicated to the critical management of acutely ill adults with congenital heart disease, this comprehensive book discusses the many challenges faced in the management of these patients, who require intensive inter- and trans-disciplinary care. It provides the first universal review of the practical management of patients with these complex conditions, who survive into adulthood with congenital cardiac malformations and are often affected by other morbidities. For this reason, it reflects a consistent interaction and collaboration between several disciplines: pediatric and adult cardiology, cardiac surgery, pediatric and adult cardiac intensive care, anesthesia, intensive care nursing, nutrition, psychology and many other specialties. It offers concise and pragmatic recommendations, and provides basic and advanced concepts that allow caregivers to anticipate, prevent and effectively treat such pathologies. The book also includes chapters focusing on cardiac-database and risk-factor assessment, organizational and operational topics, advanced mechanical circulatory assistance and pharmacology.

Whilst bringing together top international experts who are leading reference programs around the globe, this book is an indispensable teaching tool for clinicians and caregivers involved in the management of critically ill adults with congenital heart disease.

Rezensionen

"Pediatricians, surgeons, and intensivists are an appropriate audience. This is a worthy introduction for pediatricians with the needed resources. This book also will help adult providers with limited experience in pediatric congenital heart disease facing ramifications of this problem in surviving adults. ... This is an important standalone reference that is part of a series of books describing management of congenital heart disease in adolescents and adults." (David J. Dries, Doody's Book Reviews, August 23, 2019)
