Description and Table of Contents
Description
This highly practical pocket reference provides invaluable advice on management of acute cardiac problems, a major component of all emergency medical admissions. Advocating an evidence-based approach to clinical practice, the book gives detailed guidelines for day-to-day use in patient care in a variety of hospital settings - from admission in A&E through intensive therapy in the CCU to management on the cardiac or medical ward. Concise presentation allows easy access to relevant material.
