A clinical reference in cardiac anesthesia, which itself continues to be the most vibrant subspecialty in anesthesia. This large handbook serves effectively as a mid-range option between smaller handbooks and textbooks. Its outline format contains all the information on drugs, monitoring, cardiopulmonary bypass, circulatory support, and management of specific cardiac disorders necessary for residents, fellows in cardiac anesthesia, practitioners, and CRNAs. It incorporates clinically relevant basic science into a very clinical, "What-to-do" approach, and is thus popular with generalists who do some cardiac work (as almost all anesthesiologists do). It is used to study for the ABA boards and the SCA certifying exam
