Gregory S. Matte: Perfusion for Congenital Heart Surgery, Gebunden

Klappentext

The only dedicated textbook for pediatric and congenital perfusion

Perfusion for patients with congenital heart disease demands specialized equipment, techniques, and lesion-specific bypass strategies distinct from adult practice. Now in its Second Edition, Perfusion for Congenital Heart Surgery delivers targeted guidance for clinicians managing cardiopulmonary bypass in this population. This expanded edition provides actionable information to influence individualized bypass plans developed collaboratively among cardiovascular operating room teams.

The text addresses the most common cardiac lesions presenting for surgery alongside specific cardiopulmonary bypass considerations for each. Foundational knowledge sections use a bullet-point format for rapid review of perfusion equipment and techniques. Dedicated chapters cover emergency management and troubleshooting protocols for extracorporeal support, providing systematic guidance for high-stakes clinical scenarios.

Readers will also find:

• Reference data and charts for the most widely used arterial and venous cannulae on the market
• Lesion-based recommendations that help set clinical expectations for surgical interventions utilizing cardiopulmonary bypass in congenital cardiac disease patients
• Guidance supporting multidisciplinary plan development for patients presenting to the cardiovascular operating room for complex procedures
• Clinical guidance for both common issues encountered during cardiopulmonary bypass as well as emergencies that clinicians must be prepared to address intraoperatively
• Accessible format designed for both clinical reference during case preparation and study within perfusion education programs

Perfusion for Congenital Heart Surgery serves perfusion school students across the 25 programs in the United States, practicing pediatric perfusionists, and adult perfusionists seeking congenital expertise. Anesthesiologists, cardiac surgery fellows, cardiac OR nurses, physician assistants, scrub technicians, and cardiac intensivists will also find targeted information to strengthen multidisciplinary team collaboration during cardiopulmonary bypass procedures for patients with congenital heart lesions.
