5.0 out of 5 stars How "Basic Arrhythmias" helped me in paramedic school., August 20, 2000

By	Doug Brown (Ashville, Ohio) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Basic Arrhythmias (Paperback)

I was an basic and intermediate EMT for years. Intimidated by learning how to interpret and analyze EKG's, it was, by far, one of the most frustrating topic for me in paramedic class. My instructor recommended the "Basic Arrhythmias" book by Gail Walraven and in no time at all interpreting and analyzing EKG's became easy and soon after I was doing it like a second nature.

Now, as an EMT instructor, I recommend "Basic Arrhythmias" to my students and I am confident that they will find peace of mind in learning EKG's, just as I did.

Thank you Gail Walraven.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book for programmed instruction., November 19, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Basic Arrhythmias (Paperback)

I teach a Basic EKG Course in staff development and I highly recommend this book for all levels of health care providers from unit coordinators to nurse managers. The arrythmia practice strips are excellent and having the correct answers in the back of the book allows the adult learner to verify their interpertations or seek further learning in an area. The explaination of a difficult subject is made easy. I have used this book for several years and look forward to the new editions to see what else Gail Walraven has included.

5.0 out of 5 stars one of the most helpful medical books I have ever purchased, July 9, 1999

By A Customer

I learned disrhythmia interpretation in a weekend with the help of this book, and still pull the book off the shelf ten years later to brush up on my skills. I recommend this book for anyone needing to learn and understand how to read a cardiac monitor.
