Manual of Cardiac Intensive Care

Addressing  the changing needs of clinicians in today’s CCU, ICU and CICU, Manual  of Cardiac Intensive Care is an easy-to-use, point-of-care reference for  cardiologists, intensivists, physicians, trainees, and other health  care professionals who care for critically ill patients with  cardiovascular disease (CVD). This clinically-focused manual  offers practical guidance from leading cardiac intensive care experts on  the specialized and highly technological care of patients with severe  CVD—myocardial infarction, heart failure, cardiogenic shock, and their  complications, including respiratory failure and renal failure. The  portable, paperback format makes it an excellent resource for day-to-day  practice or as an exam or recertification study tool.

• Provides  the information you need in the CCU, ICU or CICU to deliver  high-quality care to increasingly complex and critically ill patients  with CVD. 
• Covers important  and emerging topics such as COVID-19, fulminant myocarditis,  cardiogenic shock, cardiorenal syndrome, cardiac tamponade, acute aortic  dissection, takotsubo cardiomyopathy, and much more. 
• Describes key  procedures including arterial and radial central vascular access,  temporary cardiac pacing, invasive hemodynamic monitoring,  pericardiocentesis, and more. 
• Covers  a range of topics for effective practice including common  misconceptions, clinical presentations, pathophysiology, management, and  imaging. 
• Includes more than 100 radiographic images, echocardiograms, ECGs, anatomic illustrations, and algorithms throughout.
