Currency Of Care

<p><em style=color: rgba(32 33 36 1)>The Currency of Care: Oxygen Delivery in the Pediatric Cardiac ICU</em><span style=color: rgba(32 33 36 1)> is a groundbreaking pediatric cardiac critical care textbook that reframes hemodynamic management through the lens of systemic oxygen delivery. Rather than focusing on blood pressure alone this book centers on the oximetric principles that truly determine perfusion organ function and survival in children with congenital or acquired heart disease.</span></p><p></p><p><span style=color: rgba(32 33 36 1)>Written by Rohit Loomba MD it bridges physiology pathophysiology and bedside application to form a modern framework for care in the pediatric cardiac intensive care unit. Readers will learn how to interpret venous saturations balance oxygen delivery and consumption and apply these concepts across biventricular shunt-dependent and single-ventricle circulations. Perfect for cardiologists intensivists cardiothoracic surgeons ICU fellows pediatric residents nurses and advanced practice providers this text provides a clear data-driven guide to optimizing oxygen transport-because in the pediatric CICU oxygen-not pressure-is the true measure of care.</span></p><p></p><p><span style=color: rgba(32 33 36 1)>Rohit is a pediatric cardiac intensivist and has published over 200 peer-reviewed publications many of which provide an objective foundation to the principles discussed in this textbook. He is actively engaged in many multicenter efforts and holds several leadership roles.</span></p><p></p>
