Understanding 12 Lead EKG\'s: A Practical Approach Brenda M. Beasley, RN, BS, EMT-P Michael C. West, RN, MS, EMT-P EKG interpretation is often a difficult subject for students to learn and understand. With this in mind, Brenda Beasley, author of the successful book, Understanding EKG\'s, and Michael West have created Understanding 12 Lead EKG\'s, a straightforward approach to EKG interpretation that presents all the essential concepts students need to know to master the basics of this challenging field. This comprehensive, reader-friendly book is ideal for self-study or classroom use, making it the perfect resource for both students and practicing health care professionals. Features: *Presents both the 5 step and 5 + 3 approaches, providing readers with a standard format to be followed with each EKG strip interpretation. *Includes coverage of anatomy and physiology concepts to enhance understanding of EKG interpretation as well as chapters on cardiovascular pharmacology and therapeutic modalities. *Tables, mneumonics, sample rhythm strips, and end-of-chapter questions provide reinforcement and allow quick mastery and retention of key concepts. Basic Arrhythmias, 5e Mistovich, Benner, and Margolis, Advanced Cardiac Life Support Brady One Lake Street Upper Saddle River, NJ 07458 www bradybooks.com Ideal for instruction in nursing, health information, medical assisting, medical transcription or health unit coordinator programs, this book contains numerous end-of-chapter exercises and case studies to challenge the learner. The most commonly ordered tests are covered, complete with an accurate description of the name and type of test, how the test is performed, indications and contraindications for the test, and most importantly the purpose or diagnostic significance of the test. When appropriate, tests are linked to diagnoses or problems. Many lab books on the market are geared solely for the nurse or technician who must perform the test whereas this book is an excellent resource for any allied health professional who needs a basic understanding of commonly ordered laboratory and diagnostic tests This case-based approach to decision-making in respiratory care offers a thorough introduction to the processes involved in developing critical diagnostic thinking, followed by realistic scenarios that allow readers to put critical thinking skills into practice. Readers learn how to use information from the patient\'s history and physical examination to arrive at a differential diagnosis. The book presents cases typical of outpatient, inpatient non-ICU, and ICU clinical settings. Each chapter begins with a clinical vignette that poses an important respiratory problem, accompanied by a description of the patient\'s history and physical examination, and reviews the common and uncommon causes of the patient\'s symptoms. Using specific features of the patient\'s history and physical examination, the reader must analyze the likelihood of a specific cause of the symptom. Critical Diagnostic Thinking in Respiratory Care lays the foundation for clinical practice, taking the reader beyond theory and into the real world of patient care.Organisation by symptons - easier to is a unique feature which greatly helps the clinician to carry out a physical examinationCase-based approach - allows learning through real-life cases to evoke a broad differential diagnosisBackground chapter - to teach the techniques of gathering and analysing data from the patient history and physical examination in order to form a diagnosisDifferential Diagnosis Boxes - a unique feature - for easy referenceInterpreting Signs & Symptoms Tables - a table that breaks down the symptom into possible causes, mechanisms by which the symptom occurs and suggestive clinical featuresAll Chapters follow the same organisational format for ease of useKey words are shortlisted at the start of each chapter, which helps to guide the reader to get the most out of the ChapterThe text is written at a level that is easy to understand for all health care students. This book is the fourth edition of a highly regarded text which was first published in 1988. It introduces the reader to the interpretation of routine laboratory biochemical test results and covers all aspects of interpretative chemical pathology (including reproductive endocrinology, which was not covered previously).The approach is based on case material from the authors\' laboratory and employs algorithms and similar aids for interpretation. The material is structured so that it is comprehensible to beginners as well as being useful for the more experienced practitioners. The envisaged audience is medical undergraduates, general practitioners, clinical biochemists and laboratory technicians. DIAGNOSTIC TESTING AND NURSING IMPLICATIONS: A CASE STUDY APPROACH teaches nursing students how to use diagnostic tests in patient assessment and emphasizes their special role in the process. The book\'s body system organization, case studies with critical thinking questions, review questions, and a comprehensive practice test help student nurses understand diagnostic testing and apply their knowledge to clinical circumstances.* Provides an overview of the major types of laboratory tests and diagnostic procedures to ensure patient safety and clinical accuracy. * Features body system organization which corresponds to the organization of medical-surgical and physical assessment/examination courses in the nursing curriculum. * Provides a complete anatomy and physiology review which provides essential background information on the body system undergoing study. * Includes a consistent format of diagnostic studies: alternate and/or abbreviated test names, type of test, normal values, possible critical values, rationale, potential complications, interfering factors, procedure, contraindications, and nursing implications (before, during, and after). * Features Review Questions and Answers to help the reader absorb and retain information by applying what they\'ve learned to specific problems answers are provided to offer direction. * Contains useful abbreviations for units of measurement and tests.Home care responsibilities provide important patient teaching guidelines and instructions for patients outside of acute care settings.Thirteen new monographs, including bone densitometry, breast cancer genetic screening, breast scintography, octreotride scan, and sleep studies, present the most current tests and procedures.New two-color illustrations and tables clarify and simplify content.
