I am a Registered Nurse on an Ortho/Neuro floor where Telemetry is becoming increasingly popular. I recently "volunteered" (ahem) to take an in-house class to read tele strips. Of the many resources I reviewed in an attempt to make sense of those rhythmic lightning bolts, this was by far the most clear, consise, easy-to-use, and logically organized text I encountered.The most common rhythm variations are clearly arranged in groups that follow the path of normal electrical conduction through the heart (SA Node, Atrial, Junctional, Ventricular, etc...). Each adventitious rhythm is illustrated with a single rhythm tracing that clearly highlights the variation, giving the user clear guidelines of what to look for. (Bear in mind that "real" rhythm strips never look that "clean", but when you start to see actual live strips, you'll appreciate being able to see the oddity in the book loud and clear.) The text also includes other signs and symptoms usually present with each variable rhythm (ie: diaphoresis, LOC, pulselessness) and possible interventions (if any) to help correct the rhythm. All this info is usually consolidated onto one or two pages.The size of the text (slightly larger than standard 3x5" cards) and spiral binding are publishing strokes of genius. I can easily slide the text into the side cargo pocket of my scrubs and flip it open to a page and lay it down for reference.My floor (and experience) is not in cardiology, therefore I cannot speak with assurance that this text would be sufficient in a cardiac unit (though our class teacher works in our hospital's Heart Center and was mighty impressed). For your regular telemetry training, however, I believe you'd be hard pressed to find a better text. "ECG Facts Made Incredibly Quick!" comes highly recommended for nurses and nursing students alike.
Easy to understand reference! A must-have for healthcare professionals who deals with EKG interpretation on a regular basis. It also has a table of medicines that are commonly used for arrhythmias, and its therapeutic effects. This was a big help for me!
Upon completing a basic ECG course, I ran across this helpful pocket reference at the book store but didn't want to spend $30. So I bought it from here in "like new" condition and it looks brand new! No marks or scratches! Its an excellent terence,I plan to bring it to work as a newbie. It has all the rhythms I learned in class plus a couple of extra. definitely Worth it and I would use seller again!
I bought this product for my sister. She is a nurse and requested this specific book. I'm assuming it met the needs of her job. The price was definitely right for me.
If u are an EKG tech or work in telemetry watching monitors with heart rhythms this is such a handy dandy very informative notebook.
It was a good pocketbook for reference. It was very helpful and right size to carry.. I will recommend this pocketbook..
I'm a nursing student so I got this to help my ID of abnormal strips. It's ok but not too in depth. Might be good for someone newly diagnosed with heart problems who wants to be able to read ECG's.
This is incredibly helpful if having to work as a tele tech on your unit and you are a little rusty with telemetry!
