"This comprehensive, evidence-based guide to hemodynamic monitoring procedures and patient care describes invasive, minimally invasive, and noninvasive techniques for monitoring blood pressure and oxygen levels within the circulatory system. Detailed comprehensive coverage is designed to fit the needs of today's critical care nurses and respiratory therapists."--Page [4] of cover.
