Opis: Brain Protection in Cardiac Surgery - R Bonser

This book is part of the "Monographs in Cardiac Surgery Series" - introducing 'basic science into the cardiac operating room'. It offers fast systematic review of small areas of cardiac surgery including up-to-date information. This will allow more rapid publication than the alternative cardiac surgery 'tomes'. This entry into the series will provide readers with a complete review of the current understanding in brain injury and the methods used to avoid or limit its effects on patient morbidity and mortality. From the reviews: "This book addresses the current understanding of the neurocognitive issues associated with the surgery. ... is directed at healthcare professionals specializing in cardiac surgery - practicing surgeons and anesthesiologists, residents and fellows, intensive care physicians, neurologists and neurointensivists, researchers and other practitioners. ... Select tables, graphs, illustrations, and imaging studies support the information. ... a unique synopsis of the state of knowledge on this subject. It is an invaluable educational resource for a wide range of professionals whose careers are related to cardiac surgery."
