EKG and Cardiac Rhythm Interpretation Pocket Guide - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

When the monitor changes, you need to recognize the rhythm, understand what it means, and know what deserves immediate action—fast.

EKG and Cardiac Rhythm Interpretation Pocket Guide puts practical ECG interpretation within reach at the bedside, helping you move systematically from waveform recognition to rhythm identification, 12-lead analysis, and emergency response.
Inside, you’ll be able to:

• Read ECGs using a repeatable eight-step rhythm analysis method covering rate, regularity, P waves, PR interval, QRS duration, and P:QRS relationships
• Recognize sinus rhythms, atrial fibrillation and flutter, SVT, junctional rhythms, PVCs, ventricular tachycardia, torsades, ventricular fibrillation, and other key dysrhythmias
• Differentiate VT from SVT with aberrancy using AV dissociation, fusion/capture beats, precordial concordance, and Brugada criteria
• Identify first-, second-, and third-degree AV blocks and distinguish nodal from higher-risk infranodal disease
• Interpret 12-lead ECGs for anterior, inferior, lateral, posterior, and right-ventricular infarction
• Recognize high-stakes patterns including Wellens syndrome, de Winter T waves, hyperkalemia, prolonged QT, WPW, Brugada syndrome, and pacemaker malfunction
• Review synchronized cardioversion, defibrillation, symptomatic bradycardia, shockable rhythms, PEA, asystole, and other code-response concepts
• Troubleshoot artifact, lead reversal, poor electrode contact, incorrect paper speed, and technical pitfalls before misreading the tracing
• Use consolidated quick-reference tables for ECG intervals, axis, QTc, pacing, Sgarbossa criteria, heart-rate calculations, and normal values
• Scan the QR code at the back to access the included audio references

The guide reinforces one essential principle throughout: correlate the ECG with the patient and treat the patient—not the tracing alone.
