Description
This concise textbook Practical Cardiology for Veterinary Nurses provides a comprehensive, practical guide for veterinary nurses and technicians who wish to develop their knowledge, confidence and skills when nursing the cardiac patient. Presentation of dogs or cats with heart disease is common, and it is vital that nurses understand how to look after these patients appropriately and support owners through what can often be challenging times. Key features include: – Basic anatomy and physiology, foundations required to understand the disease processes explained in later chapters; – covers diseases seen in small animal practice, including congenital disease, heart failure and treatment options; – gives the nurse a sound understanding of electrocardiography, thoracic radiography and cardiac ultrasound: how to perform these, and what they are seeing; – lists cardiac drugs, explaining when and why pharmacology would be used, as well as side effects; – and has a dedicated chapter on first aid. 150 p.
