Ekg Interpretation Nursing Flashcards

The EKG Flashcards were designed to help both nurses and nursing students learn and retain information about EKG interpretation. The flashcards are both a clear, complete study tool and a helpful reference for practicing RNs, PNs, and other medical professionals. These flashcards will help you learn:Where to place EKG leadsFacts about the heart conduction system and how they are recorded on an EKGEKG waveform componentsThe steps of EKG interpretationThe natural pacemakers in the heart and how they differDifferentiation of the essential rhythms (sinus, atrial, junctional, and ventricular) and dysrhythmiasHow electrolyte imbalances, and cardiac/respiratory disorders impact EKG resultsCauses, symptoms, and interventions for bradycardia and tachycardia

Full-color illustrations offer a quick review of cardiac anatomy and physiology. 550 ECG tracings in all with the strips presented three ways: identified by type of problem, randomized, and embedded in case studies. Each chapter covers a specific type of cardiac problem with multiple ECG practice strips that ask the reader to identify the rate, rhythm, P waves, PR interval, and QRS, and provide an interpretation along with multiple short-answer quizzes with answers at the end of the chapter for "on the go" learning. "Clinical Tips" and "Hints" provide valuable information on rhythm interpretation and explain how an arrhythmia can affect a patient. A chapter focused on the 12-lead ECG and acute myocardial infarction. Four "Practice Tests" at the end of the book include differential challenges that feature strips that look alike but represent very different problems and progressive case studies, all with answers. 320 Flashcards online with ECGs on the front and characteristics (rate, rhythm, P waves, PR interval, QRS, interpretation) on back for study on the go.

This convenient, money saving package provides you with all the tools to learn and practice the art of ECG interpretation. The ECGs Made Easy Study Cards consist of 500, full-color flashcards and is the perfect tool for individual review of rhythm strips. Also ideal for group study, the study cards feature an anatomy review and plenty of practice for basic dysrhythmias and 12-lead strips, all in a randomized order for real-world practice. With 450 additional and unique strips, it's the ideal study tool to accompany the ECGs Made Easy textbook that can be referred to for more detailed explanations and rationale.

The Rapid - Cardiac Analysis Tool (R-CAT) for Arrhythmias is a twelve panel, double-sided, laminated booklet that opens up to reveal 41 six-second EKG strips all scaled to size at 25 mm/sec with the identifying criteria listed below. The R-CAT for Arrhythmias can easily fit in any pocket. This includes unique calibrated tools for evaluating heart rate, PR, QRS, QT intervals and significant Q-Waves.

Electrocardiography for Health Care Personnel prepares users for a national ECG certification examination, as well as providing ECG skills training for health care students and health care personnel who are interested in mastering additional skills. The text includes the essential skills needed to perform an ECG, including anatomy of the heart, basic characteristics, equipment, appropriate intervention, and other technical applications, such as Holter monitoring and stress testing. Emphasis throughout the text is placed on troubleshooting.

Now in its Fifth Edition, this text and workbook is an excellent aid for students, practicing nurses, and allied health professionals learning ECG interpretation. The book presents a step-by-step guide to rhythm strip analysis and contains over 500 actual (not computer-generated) ECG strips to enhance the skills needed for accurate, confident ECG interpretation. Two post-tests and an answer key appear at the back of the book. The latest ACLS guidelines are also included.

Practice, practice, and more practice! This full-color workbook walks you step by step through every aspect of ECG interpretation to develop the pattern recognition skills you need to read ECGs with confidence. 550 full-size, real-life ECG strips, a wealth of exercises, and practice tests help to ensure that you can recognize the subtle findings that distinguish one arrhythmia from another and provide the appropriate care in common clinical or em
