A concise and easy-to-use guide to ECG
interpretation, this book takes the complex subject of cardiac
electrophysiology and presents it in a clear, full-colour format
designed specifically for paramedics and those working in the out of
hospital environment.
Presented as
independently accessible sections, the reader is taken from the basics
of cardiac anatomy, physiology and fundamental ECG principles, through
to arrhythmia recognition and 12-lead ECG interpretation. The inclusion
of information on clinical signs and symptoms, underlying causes and
differentials, and management decisions for each presentation places
the reader's ECG learning clearly in the context of their wider
clinical knowledge and experience. Practice ECGs and case-based
scenarios enable the reader to consolidate their learning and
understanding.
Applying ECG
interpretation to paramedic practice and clinical presentations, this
book is an essential learning resource for both students who are new to
the subject as well as prehospital professionals hoping to expand and
consolidate their knowledge.
Key features include:
- Over 100 practice ECGs, including 25 case-based scenarios
- A new ECG Interpretation Tool that includes clinical considerations
- Full colour and easy-to-understand format
- Evidence-based and in line with current UK guidelines
- Specifically written for paramedics, student paramedics, ambulance staff and others working in the out of hospital settin
