This scenario-based text provides answers to urgent and emergentquestions in acute, emergency, and critical care situationsfocusing on the electrocardiogram in patient care management. Thetext is arranged in traditional topics areas such as ACS,dysrhythmia, etc yet each chapter is essentially a question withseveral cases illustrating the clinical dilemma - the chapteritself is a specific answer to the question.
This is a unique format among textbooks with an ECG focus. Theclinical scenarios cover the issues involved in detecting andmanaging major cardiovascular conditions. Focused, structureddiscussion then solves these problems in a clinically relevant,rapid, and easy to read fashion.
This novel approach to ECG instruction is ideal for practicingcritical care and emergency physicians, specialist nurses,cardiologists, as well as students and trainees with a specialinterest in the ECG. Hinweis: Dieser Artikel kann nur an eine deutsche Lieferadresse ausgeliefert werden.

Rezensionen
I loved this book and excitedly read bits aloud as I scanned the chapters. It was the combination of a scholarly approach combined with a down-to-earth discussion of patient management that was so appealing. (British Journal of Cardiac Nursing, September 2009)
