Overview
ECGs for Prehospital Emergency Care is written especially for emergency medical service (EMS), (or prehospital) staff by leading emergency physicians who are also qualified in EMS and renowned teachers. The book instructs on how to interpret the single lead ECG through to more complex cases, and gives ample opportunity to self test, with typical examples of conditions found in the prehospital situation. With ECG interpretation now an important aspect of EMS training, this book will be an invaluable aid to all heath professionals working in this field. This book will be similar to the bestselling ECGs for the Emergency Physician (Volumes 1 and 2, Mattu and Brady) as well as Critical Decisions in Emergency and Acute Care Electrocardiography (Brady and Truwit, in preparation). The large format provides room for 200 examples of ECGs, with enhanced, clearly reproduced traces from which to learn and self test. Additionally, a differential diagnosis chapter covers all the likely conditions that the prehospital health professional will encounter.
