A Practical Approach to Cardiac Anesthesia 4th Edition by Donald E. Martin, Glenn P. Gravlee

A clinically focused guide that takes you through cardiac anesthesia from preoperative assessment to ICU transfer and postoperative management. The book emphasizes practical intraoperative decision-making, helping you understand how anesthetic management changes throughout different phases of cardiac surgery and across a variety of cardiac conditions.

It’s especially useful when you want to connect cardiovascular physiology, monitoring, and pharmacology with real operative scenarios in cardiac and thoracic anesthesia.

Key Topics:
• Preoperative assessment of cardiac surgical patients
• Cardiovascular pharmacology and anesthetic drugs
• Hemodynamic monitoring and perioperative management
• Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE)
• Induction and anesthesia before cardiopulmonary bypass
• Anesthetic management during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB)
• Post-bypass stabilization and ICU transition
• Postoperative cardiac surgical care
• Anesthesia for coronary and valvular heart surgery
• Congenital heart disease and cardiac transplantation
• Arrhythmia management and ablation procedures
• Coagulation management during and after CPB

ISBN-13: 9780781795333

What you’ll actually learn:
• How to manage anesthesia through every phase of cardiac surgery
• How to interpret monitoring data and TEE findings in real time
• How cardiopulmonary bypass affects physiology and anesthetic planning
• How to adapt anesthetic strategies for different cardiac pathologies
• How to manage hemodynamics, coagulation, and postoperative transitions safely
• How to approach complex cases such as transplantation and congenital heart disease
