Look no further to master arrhythmia recognition 5 out of 5 stars.
24 of 25 people found this review helpful.

Arrhythmia recognition is the toughest part of EKG interpretation. Most books that teach it do so by illustrating each arrhythmia with a strip or two, usually using ideal examples. This approach leaves the reader ill prepared to recognize the variations that crop up in practice. The philosophy of this book is "you can't really know an arrhythmia unless you see it over and over".
This book covers all the atrial and ventricular arrhythmias. Each brief but thorough chapter concisely explains the electrophysiology of the abnormal rhythm, well illustrated by copious full color graphics, and ends with a series of analyzed strips and EKGs that show the arrythmia in all its possible presentations. As an example, I've always had a problem with recognizing atrial flutter at 2:1 conduction (anybody can recognize the 'saw tooth' pattern at higher ratios). After reading the chapter on the subject, I had it down cold.
There are also quizzes and practice EKGs to drive home the skill, and the book has a corresponding Web site with further resources. Highly recommended.

Editorial Review:

Arrhythmia Recognition: The Art of Interpretation is a graphics intensive training manual on arrhythmia recognition. The text uses hundreds of four-color graphics to easily communicate the complex topics related to arrhythmia recognition. This book focuses on the pathophysiological mechanisms involved in the formation and maintenance of complex arrhythmias and on their clinical recognition

A must-have for advanced prehospital care providers! 5 out of 5 stars.
2 of 2 people found this review helpful.

Although DeGowin & DeGowin is the gold standard of physical examination texts, Bledsoe provides the paramedic student with an excellent background in patient assessment. Most one-volume paramedic texts are somewhat skimpy when it comes to the topic of physical examination techniques. This book is an excellent supplement. It also makes lesson planning easy since it follows the National Curriculum nearly to the letter. I currently use it as a resource for lecture material on the relevant topics for the paramedic and CE courses I teach. There is an incredibly thorough section on physical examination techniques, broken down by body system. It is quite in-depth, even covering ophthalmoscopic, otoscopic, ROM, and advanced neurological exams. Even though the aforementioned techniques are infrequently used in the field, it provides an excellent springboard for paramedics that work in the Emergency Department, as well as those that may wish to pursue the up-and-coming "paramedic practitioner" program that is now on the drawing board at the national level. After presenting physical exam techniques, they are brought together into complete assessments, with rationales presented for each component. This book also includes the standard communication and documentation sections. This book comes highly recommended, as well as volume one of this series. If volumes 3, 4 and 5 continue the tradition, the textbooks will most likely become the premier advanced prehospital education series.

Editorial Review:

Univ. of North Texas, Fort Worth. Second textbook in this series providing paramedic students with the principles of patient assessment. Includes techniques of conducting a history and physical exam, and ways to integrate the techniques learned into real-life situations. Colorful format. Complete in five volumes.

Completely revised and updated, the new edition of this portable guide offers fast-access solutions to all of the medical situations that can occur in non-traditional settings.

It's small enough to be carried in a car's glove compartment or in your backpack-yet detailed enough to cover the clinical presentation and treatment of a full range of emergencies!

• Offers appendices that address everything from environment-specific situations to lists of essential supplies, medicines, and many additional topics of care, enabling you to meet a full-range of emergency situations with the utmost effectiveness.
  
• Includes line drawings-along with a section of color plates-that aid in the identification of skin rashes, plants, snakes, insects, and more.
  
• Provides Signs and Symptoms and Treatment sections in most chapters-combined with bulleted lists and text boxes-that facilitate quick and easy retrieval of information.
  
• Presents full chapter coverage of both animal attacks and zoonoses for handling life-threatening situations.
  
• Features peerless guidance in a portable format for consultation anywhere from the office setting to the open outdoors.

• Features a new appendix on jungle travel and survival, and new chapters on forest fires, bandaging and taping techniques, mental health, hydration and dehydration, malaria-and more-equipping you to handle any emergency you might encounter in the wilderness.
  
• Includes more tips for improvisational care (eg, how to make a rigid litter using skis, poles, snowshoes, canoe paddles, or tree branches) to help you respond to wilderness and nontraditional emergencies with the materials that you have on hand.
  
• Presents thorough revisions to all previously existing chapters-ensuring that you have the latest knowledge at your fingertips.

Best Book for serious Pediatric ICU Nurses 5 out of 5 stars.
36 of 36 people found this review helpful.

I was lucky to get this book at a used-and-reduced price; however, that doesn't change the fact that the book is outstanding in it's content. I own Hazinski's pediatric ICU "bible", but this book is SO much more detailed. If you want to learn peds cardiology...REALLY learn not only the congenital malformations but the surgery for each malformation with detailed diagrams in a step-by-step process, then this is the book for you. Each section starts with detailed embryology and expands your knowledge base from there. Most of the PICU nurses I work with have grabbed this book out of my nursing bag to use as a reference many times in the month I've owned it. They are all planning to buy it in the near future. This is a great book even if you don't plan to take the AACN certification exam for RNC. I highly recommend it!

Editorial Review:

This new resource helps readers provide effective nursing care for critically ill and injured children in all clinical settings. Comprehensive, up-to-date and easy to use, it provides system-by-system coverage of developmental anatomy and physiology, and the pathophysiology of paediatric critical illness. The narrative outline format facilitates quick reference for clinical practice and certification review.

The Bible 5 out of 5 stars.

It is indispensable for every neurosurgeon. Provides quick and essential information about virtually all matter. Despite it is a handbook it carry even more information than some text books. I wish a PDA version so I will could carry away in my pocket.

Editorial Review:

Thieme is delighted to announce publication of the definitive guide for neurosurgical residents: Handbook of Neurosurgery, 5th Edition. Now back in one convenient volume, this book remains the most comprehensive guide to neurosurgery available today. The book is packed with nearly 1,000 pages of "nuts and bolts" information and guidelines spanning the breadth of neurosurgery-in a pocket-sized format that allows quick access to the answers you need. As in the previous bestselling editions, the book contains thousands of literature citations, a thorough index, and helpful cross-references for ease of use. The surgical material has been removed from this edition to facilitate its use with Fundamentals of Operative Neurosurgery by Connolly et al.

ICU BOOK 2 out of 5 stars.
2 of 2 people found this review helpful.

DIDN'T HAVE AS MANY HELPFUL HINTS AS PROMISED BUT STILL A GOOD BOOK. DUPLICATES MATERIAL FOUND IN MANY OTHER BOOKS ALREADY OWNED.

Editorial Review:

Ideal for quick reference at the bedside, The Little ICU Book of Facts and Formulas is a smaller, condensed, compact, and portable version of The ICU Book, Third Edition. Most of the chapters in the larger book have been retained in the little book, but each chapter has been completely rewritten to include only the most essential information. The content is presented in outline format for easy access, and the book is densely packed with facts and formulas that represent the essentials of patient care in the adult ICU.
