Summary |
This book is part of the "Monographs in Cardiac Surgery Series"--Introducing 'basic science into the cardiac operating room'. It offers fast systematic review of small areas of cardiac surgery including up-to-date information. This will allow more rapid publication than the alternative cardiac surgery 'tomes'. This entry into the series will provide readers with a complete review of the current understanding in brain injury and the methods used to avoid or limit its effects on patient morbidity and mortality |
