Synopsis

Often the most challenging patients for emergency physicians and intensivists are those with cardiovascular emergencies. Failure to quickly recognize a patient's symptoms, stabilize them with rapid and appropriate therapy, and triage your patient to appropriate care settings can lead to devastating results.
With extremely limited time to access reference material and make a qualified decision, you need a pocket reference you can rely on for quick and easy access to vital information. You're holding the only guide you'll need.
In a format that is extremely easy to use, Handbook of Cardiovascular Emergencies presents the information you need to know: procedures and resuscitation techniques that are crucial to the management of all cardiovascular emergencies, including cardiac resuscitation, prehospital care, airway management, vascular access, and hemodynamic monitoring; diagnosis and care of the patient with acute myocardial infarction; diagnosis and treatment of the complications of acute myocardial infarction; and non-myocardial infarction cardiovascular emergencies, such as cardiac emergencies in the pediatric patient, toxicologic emergencies, disorders of the vascular system, and hemodynamic disorders.
Written by emergency physicians, this clinically oriented quick reference is the one you can count on to guide you through initial diagnosis, stabilization, management, and disposition of patients with acute cardiovascular emergencies.
