Cardiac Emergencies Summary

Cardiac Emergencies by Jim Nolan

A pocket guide to the management of acute cardiac problems, for hospital use.



Current research findings show that only 50% of cases of myocardial infarction pass through the coronary care unit at any stage of their hospital admission. This means that a small pocket ready reference is an essential aid for a wide range of hospital staff.



'Emergency Cardiac Care: a pocket guide' has been developed from the existing 'Guidelines for the Management of Acute Cardiac Problems' used by the famous 'Jimmy's' hospital in Leeds. It provides instantly accessible, universally acceptable guidelines on this vital area of patient care.



An essential purchase for every S.H.O., A&E staff member, coronary care nurse and junior doctor, 'Emergency Cardiac Care: a pocket guide should be used on every hospital ward taking acute medical admissions.

Cardiac Emergencies Reviews

This book provides an up-to-date evidence-based guide to the management of common cardiac emergencies. It includes: key drugs/infusion regimes; descriptions of common cardiac emergencies; reference ECG traces, tables and algorithms; and updates on recent trials that impact the clinical practice. Doctors and paramedical staff working in cardiology units, general medical units and related areas such as accident and emergency department will find this guide valuable.
Booknews

Very concise yet comprehensive book. Covers all the main areas the critical care students need on cardiac problems.'
Marc Cornoch, Principal Lecturer, Institute of Hea

Nolan and colleagues have produced an informative, up to date, and evidence based guide to the management of common cardiac conditions. The book is concise, readable, well referenced, and makes good use of key points to emphasise important aspects of management. It provides clear 'how to do it' guidelines that will educate the novice and reassure the mature. Overall, I would recommend this book to any junior physician looking after general medical patients and it has a place within the A&E department for those times when the cardiologists are slow to answer their pagers.
Journal of Accident and Emergency Medicine

For a pocket guide, this publication is remarkably comprehensive yet succinct. Each chapter is laid out in a set pattern with paragraphs on the bakground, the meat of the chapter, a highlighted summary of the key points and a bibliography of important publications related to the subject. The book is written in concise and excellent English. I found this book to be a valuable contribution and I would recommend it to the wide spectrum of the profession who are likely to have to manage a cardiac emergency.
Resuscitation

A superb book to have on any medical ward, in a coronary care unit or in an A&E department. It will serve well as a reference for specialist nurses, for doctors embarking on their careers and for more senior doctors wishing to bring themselves up to date.
Cambridge Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine

This book must be welcomed as an informative text, which utilizes evidence-based medicine to guide the clinical management of cardiac emergencies.
