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!

"If you are reading this, chances are your current or future role involves rapid cardiac rhythm interpretation. This can be one of the most challenging topics for students to learn. Of course, I am partially biased in that this text is presented from the nurse's perspective. However, it is my hope that this text will provide greatbenefit to nursing students, new nurses, cardiac monitor technicians, paramedic students, and medical students alike! My goal is to provide you with the most amount of information in as few words possible (hence the graphics). They say a picture is worth a thousand words. If you wanted to read for the sake of reading you would have picked up an encyclopedia. My hope is that you can use the pictures presented as a quick reference if you need a topic refresher once you complete the reading. For this reason, each topic is presented in the following format : What is it? What does this mean? Why should we care? Take home points : These are presented after each topic. Think of them as a, "What do I need to know about this topic if I only have 10 seconds to review this p age?" type of review. As you read, take special careto appreciate the underlying concept for each rhythm strip instead of just memorizing waveforem appearances. This will help to amke sense of why the waveforms appear the way that they do. Remember that each rhythm strip tells a story of what's happening behind the scenes (at the micro and macro cellular level). We're simply observing a 30,000 foot view of what's occurring beneath our electrodes. (----back cover of book)
