By Hein J. J. Wellens, MD, PhD and Mary Boudreau Conover, RN, BSN
304 pages, 330 ills,
Trim size 8 X 10 in,
Copyright 2006
Description
Offering step-by-step instructions, this text describes how to use 12-lead electrocardiograms (ECGs) to make rapid and informed decisions in emergencies. It shows how to recognize the underlying mechanism of a cardiac emergency, its significance, and the best treatment. A brief outline of these steps is followed by complete, in-depth coverage.
Key Features
Summary boxes at the beginning of chapters give a step-by-step guide of emergency approaches
Clear, consistent writing and organization
Reflects the latest American Heart Association guidelines
Perforated decision making cards at the end of the book (various emergency situations) can be used for quick access in the clinical setting
Established, well-respected authors provide cutting-edge info that practitioners can trust
Reviewed by a consulting board of nationally recognized experts in the specialty area of ECG
New to this Edition
