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 coronary syndromes (ACS) with an emphasis on
evidence-based pharmacological management, 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 and 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.
