Book Description
Cardiopulmonary Bypass provides a practical overview of
all aspects of clinical perfusion, giving core knowledge and essential
background information for those early in their clinical training as
well as more specialist information on key areas of clinical practice.
Introductory chapters cover equipment and preparation of the
cardiopulmonary bypass circuit, routine conduct of bypass, metabolic and
hematological management during bypass and weaning from mechanical to
physiological circulation. The effect of extracorporeal circulation on
the body is described, and separate chapters detail the pathophysiology
of the brain and kidney, two major sources of morbidity, in the
peri-operative period. Specialist chapters on Mechanical Support, ECMO
and Deep Hypothermic Circulatory Arrest are also included. Edited by
expert cardiac anesthetists from Papworth Hospital, UK and the Mayo
Clinic, USA, and with contributions from leading perfusionists and
anesthetists, Cardiopulmonary Bypass is an invaluable practical manual
for any clinical perfusionist, anesthetist or surgeons managing bypass.
