A valuable resource for both perfusionists,oda's and cardiac anaesthetists alike. A perfect 'dip in' book.
By A Customer
Format:Paperback
I had an old edition of this book until it was lifted (by some gas-passing back-stabbing Anaesthetist), I think! The early editions were great- pocket sized cardiac reference works of top quality. I looked forward to my 3rd editon replacement inspite of the price hike, like meeting an old and trusted friend. However, although the new edition follows the old format which is clear and concise, I find there is some unnecessary repetition in some sections, diagrams are too small, often unreadable due to print quality and the font size could be a little larger, as well! New chapters have been added to keep abreast of new developments but the editors have sacrificed what was for me one of the most important sections "ECMO" as they believe the technique is now little used. This is just the reasion why a little practiced technique should have been retained. As a Perfusionist I would only give it 2 stars but the Junior Medic might feel that it would rate a 4. Therefore I give an overall rating of 3 stars.

This book is a must for all anesthesiology residents.

Format:Paperback
Every anesthesiology resident should run, not walk, to purchase this book. It is concise, very readable, and can be used as the primary reference for the cardiac anesthesia rotations. To date I have yet to find a significant omission. Do your self a favor and buy this book!

finally a good one

Format:Paperback
A Practical Approach to Cardiac Anesthesia 3rd edition was a required text for me. However, I was delighted to discover its readability. Information is well organized and concise, yet packed w/ as much detail as you can take. I was greatful to not have to rake thru "fluff" in search of useful, comprehensible information. Good for any health professional interested in cardiac surgery and anesthesia.

Essential Book for Cardiac Anesthesia Practitioner
19 Jan 2008
By Ayse Baysal
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
During our clinical practice in a teaching hospital in Istanbul, Turkey; I found the previous editions of this book very useful. I ordered my first book from [...] to receive the 2008 edition in January 2008. I have done a correct decision. This is an up-to-date, valuable practical book for Cardiac Anesthesiologist; as well as for residents who recently start to learn Cardiac Anesthesia. The tables provide excellent documentation for the use of different cardiac drugs and also some tables serve to differentiate different situations that has to be dealt in complex heart surgical operations. I would like to thank very much to the Editors for providing such a wonderful book to Anesthesia Society all over the world. Our goal is to translate it to Turkish in a short period of time.
