Synopsis
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!
