about the book
Answering the demand for a comprehensive, all-purpose volume focusing on the challenging needs of pediatric patients, Mechanical Support for Cardiac and Respiratory Failure in Pediatric Patients summarizes a wealth of knowledge on the mechanical devices, clinical management, alternative applications, and future directions in the speciahzed field of pediatric critical care.
Combining chnical aspects with the latest experimental results, Mechanical Support for Cardiac and Respiratory Failure in Pediatric Patients examines current modaUties and the best uses of mechanical support, including step-by-step techniques for extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), ventricular assist devices (VAD), and intra-aortic balloon pumps highlights the use of mechanical support in nonsurgical diseases such as myocarditis and cardiomyopathy, with implanted ventricular devices and in long-term follow-up care .discusses the optimal management for perioperative support in cardiac...
