This new and extensively updated edition reviews the postoperative management of patients who have undergone cardiac surgical procedures, some of the most common and most complicated forms of surgery. These patients and their management are characterized by complex challenges, while among the factors determining ultimate clinical outcome, postoperative critical care is of major importance.
Postoperative Critical Care for Adult Cardiac Surgical Patients describes the course of clinical care in patients undergoing cardiac surgery, providing the reader with a practical "cookbook" of postoperative intensive care in adult cardiac patients. It has been extensively updated to include the developments in this field since the previous edition, with new and extensively revised chapters on perioperative echocardiography, how to manage heart failure in adult cardiac surgery, how to manage electrophysiology (including the use of pacemakers and ICDs) in adult cardiac surgery and postoperative management of pregnant women after cardiac surgery. Uniquely, the Editors have included a chapter on the role of AI after cardiac surgery, providing some context to this important new technology. This book is of critical importance for cardiac surgeons, cardiac anesthesiologists and intensivists, and defines optimal daily practice for adult patients undergoing cardiac surgical procedures.
