Description
Practical Cardiology for Veterinary Nurses is a concise textbook providing a comprehensive, practical guide for veterinary nurses and technicians striving to develop their knowledge, confidence, and skills in nursing cardiac patients. Presentations of heart disease in dogs and cats are common, making it essential for nurses to understand how to care for these patients and support their owners through potentially challenging times.
The book:
- Begins with basic anatomy and physiology, the foundations needed to comprehend the disease processes explained in later chapters.
- Covers diseases commonly seen in small animal practice, including congenital disease, heart failure, and treatment options.
- Provides nurses with a solid understanding of electrocardiography, thoracic radiography, and cardiac ultrasound—how to perform these and interpret the findings.
- Covers the practical requirements of the veterinary nurse, such as heart auscultation and feeling patient pulses.
- Lists cardiac drugs, explaining when and why pharmacology would be used, along with potential side effects.
- Includes a dedicated chapter on first aid.
- Discusses chronic nursing management of heart conditions, including remote monitoring, support, and care planning.
The book is filled with learning features, including a glossary, diagrams, illustrations, and tables, all in full colour. It also includes concise end-of-chapter key points and further reading lists. Essential reading for student nurses and technicians, as well as those in practice needing a quick reference "on the ground," this is the book that general practice veterinary nurses have been waiting for.
