Review

Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), 14-MAY-08, Volume 299, Issue 18, Colleen G. Koch, MD, MS, Department of Cardiothoracic Anesthesia, Cleveland Clinic Foundation, Cleveland, OH -- "The third edition of Cardiopulmonary Bypass: Principles and Practice has been updated to reflect advances in surgical innovation and developments in perfusion management. The authors have restructured the present edition by expanding sections on neonates, infants, and children, while adding 2 new chapters on patient safety and teamwork as they relate to patient outcome. With 2 additional editors, this recent addition brings added insight from the surgical and perfusion perspectives... "The achievement of the book is to provide a comprehensive source of basic science principles and clinical information about extracorporeal circulation. This textbook offers insights from each of the professions managing the care of patients requiring cardiopulmonary support. As the cardiac surgical field has developed more innovative surgical approaches to treating patients with cardiovascular disease, perfusion management has developed management strategies to allow for successful patient outcomes. The text facilitates an understanding of the application of techniques for cardiopulmonary bypass as it has furthered advances in cardiac surgery."-Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA)
