Introduction to Clinical Ethics: Perspectives from a Physician Bioethicist
This textbook offers an introduction to the field of bioethics, specifically from a practicing physician standpoint. It engages a wide range of recent scholarship and emerging research covering many crucial topics in clinical ethics. While there has been increasing attention to the role of bioethics in medicine, the gap between theory and practice still exists, and it continues to impede the dialogue between health care professionals from one side and bioethicists and philosophers of medicine from the other side. This book builds bridges and open channels of connection between different parties in these conversations. It does so from a physician’s practical perspective, engaging recent scholarship and emerging research, to shed light on pivotal ethical dilemmas in contemporary clinical practice.

Principles of Pulmonary Protection in Heart Surgery
Over the past ?fty years, advanced techniques and strategies have arisen in the ?eld of myocardial protection.

The Ethics of Surgery
Compendium of articles from recent surgical literature that address ethical issues chosen by surgeons.
By-Pass
In many ways Tony Foster’s life has never been ordinary. He was an adventurer, an entrepreneur, and a wheeler-dealer who risked much to achieve his idea of success. He flew patched-up agricultural aircraft a few feet above croplands throughout the world, sometimes in dictatorships where life was cheap and death came easy. He put together a global multi-million dollar business deal whose only pay-off was a prison term. But in other ways his life was not uncommon. He lived on too many coffees, too many cigarettes, too much stress, too much rushing to keep from falling behind. But as the tentacles of business, the legal and penal systems wrapped themselves around him and began to squeeze, his own system revolted. In his early-forties he suffered two heart attacks. BY-PASS is told with humor and a typically energetic enthusiasm about a compelling episode in a fascinating life. But more importantly it is a constructive story of hope and survival for anyone who has been touched by the modern scourge of heart disease.

Warm Heart Surgery
Most cardiac surgery is carried out under conditions of hypothermia in order to slow the heartbeat. However, this does have risks, particularly ischaemia of cardiac muscles. In high-risk patients and for high-risk procedures, there is now a trend towards 'warm' (i.e.normal body temperature) surgery. This book provides a highly topical review of this controversial area, with contributors having been carefully selected to present a balanced view of the advantages and disadvantages of the technique. The editor and his team are internationally recognised for their considerable experience with the technique.
