This quick-access resource delivers a practical orientation for the cath lab. For nurses with a background in cardiac care or intensive care, the cath lab is replete with new challenges and learning opportunities. It is an increasingly complex environment with increasingly challenging procedures. Most effectively run by an interdisciplinary team, all healthcare providers in the cath lab uphold different roles to contribute to patient care and achieve successful procedural outcomes.

Fast Facts for the Cath Lab Nurse clearly presents the role of the nurse in the cath lab and how to assist with basic and advanced cath lab procedures. Written in a simple, easy-to-read format with streamlined, bulleted information, this orientation guide breaks down procedures and provides essential information for each step. Chapters cover interpreting pressure waveforms, understanding various calculations, identifying angiographic images, and more competently providing care to patients in the peri-procedural period.

Key Features

  • Provides tables, examples of common hemodynamic calculations, images of pressure waveforms and angiogram
  • Begins each chapter with key learning objectives
  • Provides a quick anatomy review
  • Assists with Registered Cardiovascular invasive Specialist (RCIS) certification

Oxford Handbook of Musculoskeletal Nursing
Filled with practical advice from experienced nurses and up-to-date clinical information, this new edition of the <em>Oxford Handbook of Musculoskeletal Nursing</em> is the invaluable guide for all nurses and allied health professionals working with patients who have rheumatological and musculoskeletal conditions. <p/>Written to ensure that a nurse in any care environment will have the core information they require at their fingertips, this Handbook is split into three sections: musculoskeletal conditions and their management&#x3b; clinical issues&#x3b; and nursing care issues including treatment, nursing management, and tools. Management approaches have been fully updated since the first edition, and the changing healthcare environment and available treatments have been considered, alongside the move towards patient self-management and self-care. This Handbook also addresses the increasing demand for guidance in relation to musculoskeletal conditions, as the growing elderly and chronic disease populations needs for healthcare continue. <p/>Featuring brand new chapters on the patient's perspective, nurse-led clinics, and public health awareness, the <em>Oxford Handbook of Musculoskeletal Nursing</em> second edition is a practical and comprehensive guide to help the reader reach the best possible results for their patients.
