"No other book offers such an excellent visual approach to understanding hemodynamic monitoring in such a clear and concise way. Critical care nursing textbooks may have a chapter or a section of a chapter addressing hemodynamic monitoring, but none does it as well as this book. The book will be especially useful for the intended audience as they care for patients undergoing hemodynamic monitoring. The fifth edition of the book is needed since the technology used for hemodynamic monitoring is constantly being developed and improved."
