Description
This practical 164-card set covers a broad range of information, from ECG basics to complex 12-lead ECG interpretation. A step-by-step approach helps clarify the difficult and often non-intuitive process of obtaining and interpreting ECG rhythms. Updated with more than 25 different cardiac rhythms, this comprehensive card deck also contains new drug information and cutting-edge technology. Practice rhythm strips are included to facilitate hands-on learning. New to this edition: look-alike arrhythmias; non-cardiac drug effects on cardiac rhythm; transcutaneous pacemakers; and implantable cardioverter-defibrillators.
Features
--Updates on the latest antiarrhythmic treatments.
--Clear representation of rhythm strips that make learning that much easier.
--Drilled cards on hinged ring—can be flipped quickly or even removed and pocketed as a discrete, ready reference.
