The inclusion of information on clinical signs and symptoms, underlying causes and differentials, and management decisions for each presentation places the reader’s ECG learning clearly in the context of their wider clinical knowledge and experience. Practice ECGs and case-based scenarios enable the reader to consolidate their learning and understanding. Applying ECG interpretation to paramedic practice and clinical presentations, this book is an essential learning resource for both students who are new to the subject as well as prehospital professionals hoping to expand and consolidate their knowledge. Key features include: Over 100 practice ECGs, including 25 case-based scenarios A new ECG Interpretation Tool that includes clinical considerations Full colour and easy-to-understand format Evidence-based and in line with current UK guidelines Specifically written for paramedics, student paramedics, ambulance staff and others working in the out of hospital setting Trade ReviewThis excellent book will be of interest and indeed of much value to anyone wanting to understand ECG interpretation. It is one that I can definitely recommend. -- Douglas Chamberlain, CBE MD FRCP FACC (Emeritus)This book is highly recommended for any prehospital practitioner learning to read and interpret ECGs or wanting to extend their knowledge. The clinical examples are particularly helpful, integrating case studies with heart rhythm interpretation and clinical decision making. -- Suzanne Moffat RGN BSc (Hons) MSc - Lecturer in Paramedic Science, University of East AngliaIf you want to master ECG interpretation in paramedic practice, then this is the book for you. Using this book, you can build your knowledge from beginner to master, or refresh and confirm what you already know! A coherent introduction into the anatomy and physiology of both physical and electrical components of the heart, ensures the basics behind ECGs are understood before allowing the reader to master the more challenging sections of the subject. -- Matthew Crickmore BSc (Hons) - Lecturer in Paramedic Science, University of SuffolkI really like this book. Well written, lots of case examples and signposting. It will be of real practical value for the intended audience. -- Tom Quinn FRCN FESC FAHA FACC - Professor of Cardiovascular Nursing, Kingston University London & St George's, University of LondonThis is a great book for paramedics, students and anyone else who wishes to develop their knowledge of ECGs. There are numerous case studies which are detailed in a way that will help the reader examine the whole picture including patient history, symptom experienced, vital signs and then take logical steps towards ECG analysis, thus leading to a working diagnosis. Even if you have never seen an ECG before, this book will help you understand the basics and lead you through the stages to become confident in interpreting ECGs. -- Sara Douggen MSc BSc (Hons) FHEA MCPara - Paramedic Lecturer, University of Bradford

Wolters Kluwer Health Electrophysiology of Arrhythmias: Practical
Book SynopsisThis practical guide to the diagnosis and ablation of cardiac arrhythmias in the electrophysiology laboratory is an indispensable resource for electrophysiologists and general cardiologists. It contains an extensive, unmatched collection of intracardiac recordings, fluoroscopic and ICE images, and 3D color-coded electroanatomic maps (EAMs), making it the premier electrophysiology reference for gaining a better understanding of cardiac arrhythmias. Each chapter focuses on a specific arrhythmia and presents a systematic discussion of diagnostic and ablation criteria, followed by an atlas of electrophysiologic recordings. These illustrations demonstrate all key aspects of the arrhythmia: electrophysiologic features, mode of induction and termination, response to diagnostic pacing maneuvers, classic presentations, unusual manifestations, mapping techniques, and target site criteria for ablation. Significantly updated throughout with revised text and references, a new full-color format, as well as an increased number of high-quality illustrations that give a more complete understanding of each arrhythmia. Four new chapters covering Intracardiac Echocardiography, Transeptal Catheterization, Long RP Tachycardias, and Unusual Electrophysiologic Phenomena keep you up to date with new and fascinating areas in the field. Extensive use of ICE provides a clear understanding of the location of specific cardiac structures responsible for arrhythmias. 12-lead EKGs are correlated with corresponding intra-cardiac recordings; intra-cardiac recordings are correlated with corresponding EAMS; and each EAM is coupled with corresponding fluoroscopy, intracardiac echocardiography, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging. Each high-quality figure is systematically formatted and annotated to provide a rich collection of detailed tracings.

John Wiley and Sons Ltd Practical Handbook of Echocardiography
Book SynopsisPractical Handbook of Echocardiography: 101 Case Studies Echocardiography is now one of the most commonly used diagnostic imaging tools, yet many clinicians remain unaware of the range of conditions echo can reveal or how echo can be used to help plan therapy. Moreover, it can be quite challenging even for the most seasoned practitioners to spot unusual conditions. Compiled by three echocardiographers with more than 100 years of clinical experience between them, Practical Handbook of Echocardiography uses a case-based approach to explain in detail the full spectrum of echocardiographic modalities and how to optimize their use in the clinical setting. This practical new book: Covers the full gamut of echocardiographic modalities, including M-mode, 2-D,3-D and Doppler (PW, CW, color flow, tissue and strain), transesophageal (intra-operative and routine) and contrast Describes cases in both clinical and echocardiographic terms including very Trade Review"I would not hesitate to recommend this text to anyone practicing enchocardiography or with an interest in the topic. I found it particularly refreshing to read about common and uncommon pathologic conditions, some of which I encountered years ago when working in cardiac catheterization and some of which I found fascinating in their presentation, frequency of occurrence and the role of echocardiography in the diagnosis."

Book SynopsisPractical Management of Pediatric Cardiac Arrhythmias offers a useful source of current, practical information on the diagnosis and management of arrhythmias in children, and is intended for all caregivers, from novice to expert, who treat children, adolescents, and young adults with arrhythmias.Trade Review"The book serves as a useful source of current information and practical data regarding the diagnosis and management of pediatric arrhythmias and appeals to all aspects of caregiving. "Much of the book could serve as a nursing care manual. The approach is succinct and practical, deemphasizing electrophysiology basic science. "This is a valuable, practical addition to a field of medicine which is sometimes obscure. The book is very useful for the practicing nurse or physician." --Doody’s Review Service "I applaud the authors for their well-demonstrated effort to remember that treating the whole person in pediatrics means treating the whole family. Each of these sections not only reminds the clinician of the educational and emotional needs of the family of a child with a newly diagnosed arrhythmia, but also suggests strategies for promoting acceptance, understanding, and compliance. Overall, this book is an important addition to the library of any clinician who is involved in the care of a child with cardiac arrhythmias." --Critical Care NurseTable of ContentsForeword. Thomas P.

Jaypee Brothers Medical Publishers ECMO Practical Manual: A Stepwise Approach
Book SynopsisExtracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) is a procedure that uses a machine to take over the work of the lungs and sometimes the heart. The system provides heart-lung bypass support using a pump to circulate blood through an artificial lung back into the bloodstream, providing enough oxygen to the patient, whilst allowing time for the lungs and heart to rest or heal during or after serious illness. ECMO is often used for babies, but can also be used for children and adults (Medline Plus). The techniques for ECMO require professionals from multidisciplinary background to be involved in the procedure. Based on the authors’ wealth of clinical experience, this book is a practical guide to the use of ECMO in cardiac and respiratory critical care. Beginning with an overview of the process, indications and patient selection, equipment and preparation, the next selection provides step by step instruction on initiation and management of ECMO, from cannulation and anticoagulation, to monitoring, ventilation and surgical intervention. The following section covers complications and troubleshooting, describing clinical scenarios and using algorithms and flowcharts to explain their management. The final chapters discuss weaning and decannulation, and ancillary issues such as record keeping protocols, the ECMO cart and inventory, and out-of-hospital ECMO. This third edition has been fully revised and updated to provide clinicians with the latest advances in the field.Table of ContentsSection 1: ECMO: Basics Introduction to Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation Indication and Selection Criteria Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation Components Circuit Preparation and Priming Section 2: Initiation and Management Pre-extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation Planning and Preparation Protocol for Cannulation Protocol for Anticoagulation Protocol for Initiation and Stabilization Protocol for Monitoring the Patient While on Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation Management of Patient on Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation Ventilation During ECMO and Awake ECMO Surgical Intervention During Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation Protocol for Transport and Retrieval of the Patient on Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation Section 3: Complication and Troubleshooting Protocol for Managing the Mechanical Complication Protocol for Troubleshooting While on ECMO Renal Issues and Protocol for Renal Replacement Therapy Management of Venoarterial Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation Complications Management of Venovenous Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation Complications Section 4: Weaning and Decannulation Protocol for Weaning and Trial Off Carbon Dioxide Removal Device Section 5: Ancillary Details Protocol for Record Keeping Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation Cart and Inventory Protocol for Out-of-Hospital Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation

John Wiley and Sons Ltd Practical Teaching in Emergency Medicine
Book SynopsisEmergency medicine attendings who wish to hone their teaching skills can find a number of books on educational strategies written by physicians from other disciplines. However, until the publication of the first edition of this book, they did not have access to a text written by emergency medicine physicians on methods of teaching that are directly applicable to teaching EM. This book was compiled to meet that need. Following the introductory section, which provides important background information, the book's contents are organized into 4 sections that correspond to the core needs and interests of EM educators: Section 2 focuses on practical and ethical considerations of teaching in the ED; Section 3 provides strategies for teaching specific groups of learners; Section 4 looks at the skills that are characteristic of the best EM educators; and Section 5 looks indepthly at specific teaching techniques and strategies. Now more than ever this book addresses the needs of Trade Review“This book is structured and organized to be an easy-to-follow guide on becoming a better educator in emergency medicine. . . The mechanics of treatment are thoroughly explained in this book by leaders in emergency medicine education, providing best practices and effectively focusing on the emergency medicine venue.” (The Annals of Pharmacotherapy, 1 July 2013) “This is an easy-to-read book ideal for junior faculty in emergency medicine. The summaries at the end of each chapter are well written and high yield. The book describes practical ways of teaching that can be easily applied and includes references for resources to fill out the details not supplied in the book. The advantage of the second edition is the focus on complementing education with online resources and technology that appeal to this generation's learners.” (Doody’s, 17 May 2013) Table of Contents Editors and Contributors xi Preface xxi Section 1 Background/Introduction Chapter 1 Adult learners in the emergency department 3 Ellen J.

TFM Publishing Ltd Fetal Cardiology Simplified: A Practical Manual
Book SynopsisFoetal cardiology has developed dramatically into a subspecialty in the past 25 years. The majority of people examining the foetal heart are not 'experts' in foetal cardiology and therefore find interpreting images, particularly in case of abnormality, rather difficult. This book is designed as a practical guide, to be kept near the ultrasound machine, for all those performing foetal heart scans, but without the expertise of a foetal cardiologist. The aim is to allow the user to recognise the common forms of foetal cardiac abnormality and to appreciate the associated lesions and outcome. The book has a large number of illustrations to enable the reader to visualise the different types of problem and the various forms in which they may manifest. There are relatively few books published in the field of foetal cardiology. Whilst there is a place for large textbooks covering all aspects of foetal cardiology in detail, most people performing the foetal heart scan need an idiot's guide about the normal foetal heart and the common things that go wrong with it. This book is aimed at all sonographers, obstetricians and radiologists performing obstetric ultrasound scans and at paediatric cardiologists, both at consultant and trainee level. Thus, this book should fulfil this unmet need in the market, although it is not designed as a comprehensive reference textbook in foetal cardiology.
