Critical Heart Disease in Infants and Children-3판

Now in brilliant full color and reflecting recent significant changes in the field, Critical Heart Disease in Infants 
and Children, 3rd Edition, keeps you abreast of the skills and knowledge required to safely care for children with 
congenital and acquired heart disease in the ICU. Pediatric intensivists, cardiologists, cardiac surgeons, and 
anesthesiologists from leading centers around the world provide a well-rounded perspective on basic scientific 
principles, medical and pharmacologic treatments, surgical techniques, and equipment.

New to this Edition
　•　Offers four completely new chapters: Cardiac Trauma, Congenital Heart Disease in the Adult, Congenitally 
　　 Corrected Transposition of the Great Arteries, and Outcome Evaluation.
　•　Describes the basic pharmacology and clinical applications of all of the new pharmacologic agents. 
　•　Details important refinements and developments in surgical techniques, including the Ross pulmonary 
　　 autograft replacement of the aortic valve, video-assisted fluoroscopy, and the extracardiac Fontan connection, 
　　 and discusses their indications and potential complications. 
　•　Explores the latest advances in the treatment of pulmonary hypertension, new developments in mechanical 
　　 assist devices, heart and lung transplantation, and interventional cardiac catheterization.
　•　Examines issues affecting adults with congenital heart disease.

Key Features
　•　Features comprehensive updates throughout the text, including indications, techniques, potential 
　　 complications in perioperative management of patients, and surgical techniques for congenital heart disease.
　•　Covers recent advances in the treatment of pulmonary hypertension, developments in mechanical assist 
　　 devices, heart and lung transplantation, and interventional cardiac catheterization.
