Customer Reviews

Very informative with a ton of in depth information

Love this book. It reviews some pathophysiology and has definitely given me some useful concepts to bring into acute care. There are not a ton of pictures. I love that it includes how to troubleshoot equipment. This book is a must!

Excellent Quality

The book was delievered on time and the structure of the book was exactly what the seller described. I am pleased with this seller.

Excellent resource for advanced hemodynamic knowledge

This is an excellent resource for advanced hemodynamic monitoring. I recommend for any ICU / critical care RN. I am in nurse anesthesia school and I was supposed to be familiar with this before I got here. It's very comprehensive, not too difficult to understand, but not "PA catheters for Dummies" either. I will refer to this book often.

Invaluable

This book has been invaluable in explaining ALL the different parts of hemodynamics and the interplay between the characters (presure, flow, etc). I credit this book for helping me pass the CCRN. It will help you analyze waveforms and predict outcomes to attain the best clinical outcome for your patients. Truly a wonderful investment.

Thoroughly comprehensive, yet surprisingly readable

I currently work in a Cardiac Surgical Intensive Care setting, and have found this book to be among the best hemodynamic texts available. Its comprehensive presentation of anatomy, technology, and pathophysiology in relation to hemodynamics is arranged very intelligently. What I enjoyed most about this book though was its readability. The language is straightforth and simple without losing any of its meaning, which has lent to its popularity among nursing students performing clinical rotations in the unit. Friends of mine who have borrowed this book invariably purchase their own copy afterwards. It is that good! I reccomend this book to anyone in a field where hemodynamics hold importance.
