REVIEW OF RECENT BOOKS
Cardiopulmonary Bypass: Principles and Management Edited by Kenneth M.Taylor Baltimore, Williams b Wilkins, 1986 439 pp, illustrated, $58.95
Reviewed by Julie A . Swain, M.D. This monograph is an attempt to review cardiopulmonary bypass comprehensively. The effort succeeds admirably. All aspects of the basics of perfusion, from the history of perfusion to modern equipment and relevant physiology, are covered. This book is organized in an orderly manner, and the illustrations are excellent in most of the chapters. Extensive repetition and overlap, found in many multiauthored books, is kept to a minimum. Taylor has assembled an accomplished group of experts to
write the 21 chapters. The chapters on choice of priming fluids, blood cell trauma, microemboli, micropore filtration, and pulsatile flow are particularly comprehensive and well referenced. Equipment and techniques for counterpulsation, pediatric perfusion, cannulation, oxygenation, and blood conservation receive extensive attention. Because of the complexity of medical practice, it is increasingly difficult to maintain current expertise in the areas of equipment, physiology, and pharmacology relative to cardiopulmonary bypass. This monograph helps meet this requirement and should be read by cardiac surgeons in training and by perfusionists. This volume may be particularly valuable as a stimulus to the practicing surgeon to reconsider perfusion techniques that may not have been re-evaluated recently.
