5.0 out of 5 stars Easy to carry ECG pocket guide, July 8, 2007

ECG Success: Exercises in ECG Interpretation

I love this book! All the illustrations and ECG strips are in full color. My students and the staff in our five hospitals use this book in class, during clinical rotations, and for CPR, and ACLS recertification.

The bonus is that it includes current CPR and ACLS protocols, emergency medications, and emergency skills (i.e., pacing, defibrillation, etc.). All this packed into a 200 page waterproof pocket guide. All the arrhythmias are covered, over 100 real-life ECG strips are included, plus 12-lead. And you will never get confused with lead placement or measureing ECG tracing intervals again...this book has it all! Healthcare providers use this handy guide during CPR and ACLS recertification all the time. Plus it helps them sharpen their skills. As we all know ECG interpretation takes practice, practice practice!

This review is from: ECG Notes: Interpretation And Management Guide (Kindle Edition)

After reading the other reviews, I decided to go ahead and order this book on my iPad through the Kindle App. I began reading and was impressed with the book's content, very informative and definitely a good resource to have around. However, it doesn't transfer to a digital book well at all. I noticed in the description the original version of the book is 3X5, and a lot of the graphs and pictures come across in that size making them impossible to use and read. I will be buying the paper version of this, I returned the Kindle version almost immediately.
