Quaal on Intraaortic Balloon Pumping is Very Good! 4 out of 5 stars.
2 of 2 people found this review helpful.

Susan Quaal continues to maintain a high standard of quality in covering intraaortic balloon pumping. Her book is detailed and gives much useful information for the medical professional on theory and operation of IABP's and patient management. The paperback edition is especially useful as a bedside reference. The only negative thing about this book is it's 1993 copyright. In the fast-changing medical field, the most up-to-date product information is always helpful, but the majority of the book remains relavent and is very concise.

Still A Good Book 4 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

After having read both editions of Quaal's book, I did notice that the captioning of some of the figures in the second edition are incorrect. This was probably just a minor oversight in updating from the first edition. Overall, my previous review is still the same.

This book is excellent if you have no experience or knowledge reading ECG's or the terminology. The graphs, points of interest, and self quizzes are fun and keeps your memory fresh.

This book has been extremely helpful! It explains the concepts in an easy, but not condescending, way. I'm glad I bought it. Unfortunately, I had to purchase a used one, since new ones are not being sold. But my book was in very good condition, just as it was listed.

Editorial Review:

A classic in the field of cardiac nursing, this well-recognized text and clinical reference has earned the reputation as "The Red Reference Book" for nurses caring for patients who have cardiac disease. Revised and updated, this edition reflects the latest procedures and techniques in cardiac nursing. This book incorporates the nursing process and critical thinking strategies, while also providing a foundation for the contents based on theory, anatomy and physiology. The liberal use of figures, tables, and authoritative references, makes this the ideal text for graduate students and a reference for any nurse interested in cardiac nursing. The authors of Cardiac Nursing, Fourth Edition lay the groundwork for cardiovascular nursing in Part I by presenting the necessary information about cardiovascular anatomy and physiology. Before the reader can fully comprehend the details of coronary heart disease it is essential to assimilate the information found in Part II, Physiologic and Pathophysiologic Response. Part III, covers the assessment of coronary heart disease and addresses many noninvasive and invasive testing procedures currently available. In Part IV, various disease states and treatments are fully explored. Finally, Part V provides valuable information regarding the latest concepts in health promotion and disease prevention. The straightforward style makes this an easily comprehensible text for both the experienced and novice nurse caring for patients who have, or are at risk for developing, cardiac disease.
