Now that state of the art equipment can be carried in ambulances,
prehospital emergency staff are able to perform an
ECG soon after arrival on scene, enabling the
EMS provider to gather important diagnostic information that can
not only guide prehospital therapy but also direct hospital-based
treatment.
This book exclusively addresses ECGs for prehospital
emergencies, ranging from basic rhythm diagnosis to critical care
applications of the electrocardiogram and advanced 12-lead ECG
interpretation in the ACS patient. It provides self testing
traces covering all these conditions seen in prehospital and
hospital- based environments. It includes 200 randomly presented
cases mirroring real life situations, with the answers set out
separately together with additional invaluable information.
Written by highly experienced emergency physicians with EMS
qualifications and experience, this text is an ideal learning
tool for trainees and fully qualified staff alike, including ground
EMS advanced life support providers, aeromedical staff, and
inter-facility critical care transport personnel.
