Review for Cardiac Surgery Handbook by K. Lindquist (Kentucky)

4 Stars

Good book. Bought to study for CSC certification. But the Bojar book has more detailed information

Excellent quick reference

This book is a great lab coat reference for troubleshooting common problems after cardiac surgery. It is well organized. Some of the information in this (and many other books) might become somewhat dated with new ACLS protocols being released, so choose with caution.
