Does anyone know of a informative post-surgical cardiovascular icu book?? I am a new nurse in a CVICU and would love to learn more info about heart patients. I think it would help me tie things together more.
Thanks:D

I've got a book called 'cardiothoracic surgical nursing' by Carl Margerson and Jillian Riley... I think it's def worth having a read of:)

Postoperative Care in Cardiac Surgery By Robert Bojar is the best book for CVICU I have ever read. "The ICU book" is also a great book. Get on google books and you can read a lot of books mostly for free. Type in stuff like Hemodynamics, Cardiac, Bojar, ect,ect. CCRN Books are great as well.
Thanks to all of you who responded!!!
