Cardiopulmonary Bypass and Mechanical Support 5th Edition

Cardiopulmonary Bypass and Mechanical Support: Principles and Practice 5th Edition

⭐ Overview

A comprehensive, authoritative reference covering the full spectrum of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) and mechanical circulatory support (MCS). This edition provides updated science, equipment, clinical protocols, and perioperative management relevant to cardiac anesthesiology, cardiac surgery, perfusion, and critical care. Ideal for clinicians managing patients on CPB, ECMO, and ventricular assist devices.

🔑 Key Features

1. Foundations & Physiology

• Hemodynamics, oxygen delivery, perfusion targets

• Coagulation, inflammation, metabolic changes on CPB

• Temperature regulation, acid-base and gas exchange principles

2. Equipment & Technology

• Pumps, reservoirs, oxygenators, cannulas

• Monitoring systems, safety mechanisms

• Advances in circuitry & biocompatible materials

3. Mechanical Circulatory Support (MCS)

• Short-term support: ECMO, IABP, temporary VADs

• Long-term support: adult & pediatric durable VADs

• New devices and emerging technologies

• ECPR and extracorporeal CO₂ removal (ECCO₂R)

4. Perioperative Management

• Pre-CPB preparation and risk stratification

• Intraoperative anesthetic strategies

• Weaning from bypass, hemodynamic optimization

• Post-CPB complications management

5. Specialized Sections

• Pediatric CPB and congenital heart disease

• Thoracic transplantation & allograft protection

• MCS in cardiogenic shock and heart failure

• Neurologic, renal, and hematologic consequences

🎁 Key Benefits

• Trusted reference written by world experts in cardiac anesthesia, perfusion, and cardiac surgery.

• Bridges physiology + practical management, perfect for clinicians.

• Modern ECMO and VAD updates, reflecting current standards (2025).

• Multidisciplinary use: anesthesia, ICU, surgery, perfusion, transplant.

• Strong visuals and structured chapters for easier clinical application.

🎯 Ideal For

• Cardiac anesthesiologists

• Perfusionists

• Cardiac surgeons

• Intensivists managing ECMO/MCS patients

• Fellows in cardiac anesthesia, critical care, or perfusion

• Clinicians preparing for advanced cardiac OR or ICU practice

✔️ Recommendation

Highly recommended if you work or plan to work in cardiac anesthesia, ECMO/ICU, or perioperative cardiac surgery. It is one of the most complete and up-to-date resources for understanding both the scientific and practical aspects of CPB and mechanical support.
