Paediatric Cardiac Surgery

This book is a guide to the most common, and some uncommon, congenital heart diseases and associated surgical interventions as practised on newborns and children. The text of this edition has been modified and refined through discussions with surgeons, consultant surgeons, anaesthesiologists, perfusionists, medical students, and nurses in the hospitals where the author has worked.

The research and writing began at the King Faisal Hospital, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, where the author saw intense and complex surgical procedures being performed on infants with very high skill levels. This book makes complex surgical procedures more accessible to perioperative nurses and helps them become more responsive to the needs of cardiac surgeons and their patients.
