On Bypass: Advanced Perfusion Techniques (Current Cardiac Surgery)
Download Free (EPUB, PDF)

With the introduction of cardiac surgery more than five decades ago and the use of the heart-lung machine for open heart surgical procedures granting the surgeon unlimited time in which to operate inside the heart, a complex task has been given to the Perfusionist. With a pairing of a perfusionist and a surgeon for each chapter, this book is an essential collection of techniques and protocols to aid in decision making in the operating room.

If you are looking for a book to get updated with what is new on extracorporeal technology, On Bypass is the one. I would not recommend it for students. On the other side I think this book is a must on all shelves of serious and mature professionals. I am very pleased to see the clear and concise text. All important information at our hands for a quick look. Congratulations to the editors for concentrating so many experts in a single 576 pages book.

This book is an excellent read for perfusionists of any level, from student to long time professional. As a new grad, I advanced my knowlege on a number of current perfusion topics not fully covered in my perfusion schooling. It is easy to understand, wonderfully written, and in my mind is up there with the "bible" of perfusion, Gravlee's Cardiopulmonary Bypass: Principle's and Practice. In a field of limited resources, this is a must have!

The first part of the book is very good but the 'policy and procedure guidelines ' from some arbitrary hospital are redundant and just add to the cost.

Great book.
