Nurse To Nurse Ecg Interpretation

An ICO staff trainer show you how to understand and perform ECG interpretation at the bedside! Includes full-text download! 4 STAR DOODY'S REVIEW! "This book provides novice to expert nurses easily accessible information on rhythms and dysrhythmias....This is a great book for students and novice nurses learning rhythms. Its size lends itself to being used daily on the clinical unit."--Doody's Review Service A true pocket guide for working nurses, Nurse to Nurse: ECG Interpretation offers peer-to-peer guidance to help you learn and remember the different ECG rhythms most often encountered in everyday clinical practice. Using numerous tables and innovative features such as Tricks of the Trade, Evidence-Based Practice boxes, and Clinical Alerts, Peggy Jenkins carefully explains how to interpret: Sinus rhythms Atrial rhythms Junctional rhythms Atrioventricular heart blocks Myocardial infarction Changes found in patients with pacemakers For each type of rhythm, you'll find description, causes, assessments, interpretations, criteria, and care measures along with heart diagrams that correspond to the ECGs.

Covering the latest techniques for ECG interpretation and treatment of arrhythmias, this handy resource includes real-time rhythm strips for all arrhythmias, with characteristics listed and telltale abnormalities highlighted. Practice strips with answers are included.

A guide to reading and understanding rhythm strips and 12-lead ECGs, this updated edition reviews fundamental cardiac anatomy and physiology, explains how to interpret a rhythm strip, and teaches the reader how to recognize and treat 18 arrhythmias.

This unique 2-in-1 reference presents key information on rhythm strip and 12-lead ECG interpretation in two practical, helpful ways on every page, enabling nurses to quickly scan bulleted points and jump to more in-depth information as needed without turning a page. Full-color inserts illustrate 12-lead ECG placement and ischemia, injury, and infarction patterns in myocardial infarction.

MASTER THE ESSENTIAL FACTS! We have condensed the main points from textbooks and publications so you don't have to. Add this vital EKG resource to your nursing arsenal...12 Lead EKG for Nurses was meticulously crafted to provide nursing students and new grad nurses with a streamlined overview of cardiac anatomy, physiology, electrophysiology and electrocardiogram (EKG/ECG) interpretation. This study guide boils it down to the basics to prepare for nursing school, the NCLEX, or as a refresher for the practicing nurse. Don't get bogged down! This simple, step-by-step guide will help the beginner nurse analyze EKG's in a systematic manner to determine the patient's cardiac rhythm and to detect dysrhythmias and conduction disorders, as well as evidence of myocardial ischemia, injury, infarction, or chamber enlargement. This book will review each phase of the cardiac cycle and how these are reflected by specific waveforms within the EKG. The major dysrhythmias will be identified along with multiple causative factors. This well-illustrated and comprehensive guide will reveal: - Ischemia, Injuries, and Infarctions- Normal Sinus Rhythms- Sinus Bradycardia- Sinus Tachycardia- Atrial Fibrillation - Atrial Flutter - Supraventricular Tachycardia (SVT) - Junctional Rhythms - Heart Blocks (1st, 2nd, 3rd degree) - Atrial Enlargement- Ventricular Enlargement- Ventricular Tachycardia - Ventricular Fibrillation - Premature Atrial Complexes (PAC) - Premature Ventricular Complexes (PVC) - Asystole- Drug Induced Arrhythmias PREPARE, PASS, PERFORM... with NurseMastery!

The first ECG book to be aimed specifically at nurses. This practical, handy-sized guide will be useful for nurses working in all acute areas, as well as general nurses and students learning about ECGs for the first time. Real ECGs are used throughout to supplement the text. Bullet points, diagrams and self-assessment tools are features of every chapter. Accompanying every ECG trace will be a brief discussion detailing possible effects on the patient, the nurse's role and also treatment (if any) of the arrhythmia.

This unique resource provides clear, concise explanations of the conduction patterns that result in the electrophysiologic tracing seen on the electrocardiogram (ECG). It covers basic and advanced dysrhythmia concepts, as well as the nursing implications for each rhythm.

ECG Interpretation: An Incredibly Easy! Pocket Guide provides time-starved nurses with the essentials of electrocardiography in a streamlined, bulleted, and highly visual format. The book fits into a pocket for quick reference anytime and anywhere and uses charts, illustrations, logos, and other Incredibly Easy! features to help nurses spot key points at a glance. Topics include ECG basics, such as obtaining and interpreting rhythm strips; arrhythmia interpretation; pacemakers and ICDs; and 12-lead ECGs. For each arrhythmia, causes, signs and symptoms, and pharmacologic and nonpharmacologic treatment are presented. Test Zone questions and answers evaluate the reader's mastery of the subject.
