Acute Cardiac Care: A Practical Guide for Nurses

Acute Cardiac Care provides nurses with a comprehensive understanding of the current practice and principles underlying the care and management of acute cardiac conditions. It addresses the management of acute cardiac conditions with an emphasis on evidence based pharmacological management, management of cardiac emergencies (cardiac arrest, arrhythmia, acute pulmonary oedema, cardiogenic shock), current diagnostic and interventional modalities for the management of ACS, including risk stratification, and the ethical, political, social and economic factors that impact upon the provision of acute cardiac services in Australia and the UK.Edited by renowned academics & clinicians in the field, this practical text will encourage nurses to think critically about evidence and management of acute coronary conditions, and provide a guide on how and where to look for up-to-date evidence and guidelines.Kucia, Angela is the author of 'Acute Cardiac Care: A Practical Guide for Nurses', published 2009 under ISBN 9781405163613 and ISBN 1405163615.
