Summary:

"This comprehensive guide is designed to equip Operating Room (OR) nurses with the skills and knowledge needed to excel in cardiothoracic surgery. It is a meticulously structured resource that covers approximately 50 Cardiothoracic and Vascular Surgery (CTVS) operations from a nurse’s perspective. It stands out as an indispensable tool for both novice and seasoned OR nurses, providing a clear, step-by-step approach to handling complex surgical procedures. Each chapter is carefully structured to guide nurses through the basic surgical steps of major operations, ensuring they are fully prepared to assist in these high-tension and lifesaving procedures. High-quality photographs further enhance the practical value of this guide, making it easier to visualize and prepare for each case. This book addresses a critical gap in the current training of OR nurses and cardiac surgeons. It emphasizes the nuances of critical operations, such as which sutures to use at each step—details often overlooked in standard training programs. This book serves not only as a training manual for new nursing staff but also as a valuable reference for new cardiac surgeons. It provides insights that are generally not emphasized during traditional training, ensuring a higher level of preparedness and competence in the operating room. Intended for OR nurses, nursing tutors, clinical instructors, and cardiac surgeons, this book is a vital resource for anyone involved in cardiothoracic surgery. It can also be used as a guide to train staff in new setups, making it an essential addition to any medical library. Whether you are starting your journey in cardiac surgery or looking to refine your skills, this is your go-to guide for mastering the art of cardiothoracic surgery"-- Springer Nature Link
