ECGs Made Easy - Book and Pocket Reference Package

Known for its conversational style, Barbara Aehlert's ECGs Made Easy offers clear explanations and plenty of practice exercises that make it easier than ever to understand and interpret basic dysrhythmias. Each ECG rhythm includes a sample rhythm strip and a discussion of possible patient symptoms and general treatment guidelines. Student-friendly features include ECG Pearl boxes with insights based on real-world experience, and Drug Pearl boxes highlighting medications used to treat dysrhythmias. This package includes a handy pocket reference for on-the-go access to the most essential information, plus a plastic heart rate calculator ruler for fast interpretation of rhythms.

• Clear ECG discussions highlight what students need to know about ECG mechanisms, rhythms, and heart blocks: How Do I Recognize It? What Causes It? What Do I Do About It?






• Chapter objectives and key terms focus students on the most important information.








• ECG Pearl boxes give useful hints for interpreting ECGs, such as the importance of the escape pacemaker.








• Drug Pearl boxes highlight various medications used to treat dysrhythmias.








• Introduction to the 12-Lead ECG chapter provides all the basics for this advanced skill, including determining electrical axis, ECG changes associated with myocardial ischemia and infarction, bundle branch block, and other conditions.








• A comprehensive post-test is included at the end of the book to evaluate student comprehension.








• A heart rate calculator ruler is included with each textbook, so students can measure heart rates while practicing ECG recognition.

• A new two-column design adds visual appeal and makes content easier to read.






• 49 new anatomical drawings and 51 new skills photos are included, for a total of almost 400 illustrations -- all in full color.








• Eight new illustrated, step-by-step skills include easy-to-follow instructions for performing basic techniques.








• Stop and Review chapter quizzes are expanded to include 200 practice ECG tracings, and now include answers at the end of each chapter.








• Learning objectives are added within text content to emphasize key points.








• An expanded companion CD includes ECG video clips and 100 more ECG strips with interpretation on PowerPoint -- for a total of 250 practice strips.

Cardiovascular and Pulmonary Physical Therapy: Evidence and Practice

Uniquely balanced in its coverage of cardiac and pulmonary systems in health and dysfunction, this student-friendly text includes a new holistic perspective on providing care. Based on the latest scientific literature and research, the text sets the foundation with strong A&P, assessment and intervention coverage. The focus of the rehabilitation section is on the patient, detailing therapy guidelines for patients with acute, chronic and critical care conditions, while also addressing special patient population, such as pediatrics and the elderly. The fourth edition expands its coverage of secondary conditions and has additional content on health care trends related to evidence-based management to promote cost-effective management. The concept of oxygen transport is interwoven throughout.

• Integrates real-life, clinical cases within the textbook to enable the reader to apply concepts covered in the chapter.
• Content covers the spectrum from acute to long-term conditions.
• Covers secondary cardiovascular/cardiopulmonary conditions as well as primary conditions.
• Special topics are highlighted at the end to keep abreast of new directions and initiatives in the specialty.
• Focuses on evidence-based medicine to bridge the gap between the importance of research to reimbursement.
<
• Evolve Learning Resources Website includes an Electronic Image Collection with all the images from the book for instructors. For students, a Clinical Case Study Guide provides additional cases to develop problem-solving and clinical reasoning skills.

• Emphasizes the global perspective of health to make students more aware of the cross-cultural and global view of health care.
• Expanded section on health psychology and living a healthy lifestyle.
• Expanded section on secondary cardiovascular and pulmonary conditions shows that "every patient" is a cardiovascular and pulmonary patient.
• Integrates oxygen transport throughout to demonstrate how cardiac and pulmonary function together.
• Focuses on evidence-based medicine to bridge the gap between the importance of research and reimbursement
• Uses case vignettes as models of evidence-based practice and clinical decision making to help the student apply real-life scenarios to evidence-based practice and the process of decision making.
• Pharmacology chapter has been substantially revised and updated to show the importance of pharmacology to cardiopulmonary care.
• Incorporates The Guide to Physical Therapist Practice, 2nd Edition, which sets the standard in physical therapy.
• New appendix with a prototype for a cardiac rehabilitation program and a pulmonary rehabilitation program enables the readers to understand how rehabilitation programs work.
• Expanded section on community and home care.
• New information on noninvasive mechanical ventilation.
