Cardiothoracic Anesthesia Simplified: Practical Guide to Cardiac Anesthesia, Hemodynamic Monitoring and Perioperative Care for Anesthesiology Residents, ... Surgery Teams (medical books Book 3)

Master Cardiac Anesthesia with Confidence — From First Case to Board ExamAre you rotating through cardiac surgery for the first time — overwhelmed by the complexity of cardiopulmonary bypass, hemodynamic monitoring, and high-stakes intraoperative decisions? Cardiothoracic Anesthesia Simplified cuts through the complexity and gives you exactly what you need: a clear, clinically accurate, and beautifully organized guide to cardiac anesthesia written specifically for anesthesiology residents, CRNA students, and cardiac surgery teams.Written by Dennis J. Champagne, this comprehensive 14-chapter reference covers the full spectrum of cardiothoracic anesthesia — from foundational cardiac physiology and cardiovascular pharmacology to the most complex procedures in contemporary practice including TAVR, MitraClip, structural heart interventions, ECMO, LVAD management, and deep hypothermic circulatory arrest.WHAT MAKES THIS BOOK DIFFERENT?Unlike dense academic textbooks that assume years of cardiac experience, this guide meets you where you are. Every chapter is structured for real-world clinical application — not just theoretical knowledge.INSIDE THIS BOOK YOU WILL FIND:14 comprehensive chapters covering cardiac physiology, pharmacology, hemodynamic monitoring, CPB, CABG, valvular surgery, structural heart, electrophysiology, thoracic anesthesia, special populations, and postoperative careStep-by-step clinical algorithms for every high-stakes scenario — CPB separation, OLV hypoxia, post-cardiac surgery hypotension, tamponade, and more50+ reference tables covering drug dosing, hemodynamic calculations, valvular severity grading, TEE views, and normal valuesComprehensive TEE guidance for all 28 standard views plus procedure-specific protocols for TAVR, MitraClip, transseptal puncture, and LAA closureBoard review chapter with Top 50 High-Yield Facts, 50 practice questions with explanations, oral board scenarios, and a 7-day final study planClinical Pearl boxes, Warning boxes, and Key Concept summaries on every topicAppendix with normal hemodynamic values, complete drug dosing reference, echocardiographic norms, pre-CPB separation checklist, and 220+ abbreviationsPERFECT FOR:Anesthesiology residents (CA-1, CA-2, CA-3) on cardiac rotationCRNA students and SRNAs preparing for cardiac anesthesia credentialingCardiac anesthesia fellows preparing for ABA oral boards or FANZCA/FRCACertified CRNAs entering or refreshing cardiac anesthesia practiceCardiac surgery teams — surgeons, perfusionists, cardiac OR nursesCardiac ICU intensivists and critical care fellowsCOVERS EVERY MAJOR TOPIC: Cardiac physiology • CPB principles and practice• Hemodynamic monitoring • TEE • CABG • Valvular surgery • TAVR and transcatheter procedures • Structural heart interventions • Electrophysiology • Thoracic anesthesia • OLV management • Pediatric cardiac • Transplantation • ECMO • LVAD • Aortic surgery • DHCA • Postoperative complications • Board exam preparationStop feeling overwhelmed in the cardiac OR.
