Cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) is an increasingly important investigation for anaesthesiologists, surgeons, cardiologists, pulmonologists, physiologists, and peri-operative physicians. For trainees, non-experts, or simply those seeking an introduction to interpreting CPETs, this essential book builds layers of knowledge that can be applied in case studies and in future practice. It will help you learn and understand: • What is CPET and what are the principles of exercise physiology • How to conduct a CPET • How to interpret a CPET nine-panel plot • How to assess exercise capacity and limitation. This practical and clinical guide is both easy to read and easy to understand and features diagrams illustrating key principles. It outlines the basic physiological principles and takes a step-by-step approach to conducting and interpreting a cardiopulmonary exercise test, together with case studies to consolidate learning. Chapters cover the indications and contraindications of CPET, test safety and complications, spirometry, writing a CPET report, and shared decision-making.

A new edition of this bestselling resource for emergency physicians seeking to expand their knowledge of the 12-lead electrocardiogram and how it relates to patient care ECGs for Acute, Critical and Emergency Care, 2nd Edition, Volume One, provides comprehensive guidance on the use and interpretation of the 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG). Celebrating the 20th anniversary since initial publication, this book is an essential teaching and reference text that helps physicians with basic knowledge of electrocardiography quickly locate the objective criteria necessary for various diagnoses, understand different electrocardiographic waveforms and their meaning in individual patients, and interpret the ECG within the context of the patient's presentation. The second edition of ECGs for Acute, Critical and Emergency Care is fully updated and reviewed throughout, featuring ECG cases that are randomly presented to mirror the scenarios encountered in the emergency department. The text contains intermediate and more challenging ECGs representing the common electrocardiographic diagnoses that all acute care physicians need to know. Case histories, clinically focused reviews, ECG interpretations, and comments by the authors accompany each ECG presented. Covers all key areas of accurate ECG interpretation Contains 200 actual ECGs of patients treated in authors' emergency departments Focuses on emergency situations, with increased emphasis on recent literature updates in this new edition Includes appendices of differential diagnoses and commonly used abbreviations Written by two highly experienced specialists, ECGs for Acute, Critical and Emergency Care, Second Edition, Volume One, is a must-have resource for trainee physicians, senior medical students, and practicing physicians who manage patients in emergency departments and other clinical care settings.
