Product Description
Review
This pocket-sized handbook...should be an essential resource for every doctor working in this specialty...it will be of value to all whose clinical work involves this specialty, including well-established consultants and nursing staff. The text is comprehensive, remarkably detailed and accurate. This is an excellent production that succeeds admirably...the book can be highly recommended. It should accompany, and be readily consulted by, all junior doctors in this specialty in their day-to-day work. (Surgeon Vol 5, no 1 )
The positive features of this book are that it provides brief but clear explanations and rationale for most aspects of cardiothoracic surgery and can therefore be useful as a quick reference guide, particularly in clinical practice...throughout there are excellent diagrams...the anatomy and physiology sections are clear and easy to follow...it is a useful reference text to have in a ward or unit collection. (British Journal of Cardiac Nursing Vol 1, no 7 )
This is an excellent book written for the junior surgeon embarking on a career in cardiac surgery. (Doody's Journal )

Format:Paperback
this is a great book for surgeons, who just started working at a cardiothoracic unit. It gives a detailed summary about the most common cardiothoracic procedures. Also helpful in the decision making working in the post-op ICU.
Format:Paperback
very good, useful and handy for quick simple information about cardiothoracic surgery. However, you definitly need a bigger refrence book if you want to read topics in more details.
