Here is "life support" for your ACLS course! Concise yet thorough, this eight-chapter text provides essential guidance for mastering Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS).

Nine case studies simulate real-life experience, allowing learners to apply knowledge and determine appropriate interventions. A generous use of pedagogy makes learning pleasant, understandable and effective: Numerous mnemonics -- such as cross word puzzles, algorithms and more -- provide alternative ways of learning; Icons throughout organize and indicate repetitive key concepts; More than 200 pre- and post-test questions help with self-assessment; Case studies feature critical action for student evaluation. "Let's Practice" feature helps incorporate memorization techniques; Twenty-four flash cards for protocols and drugs support memorization; and "right" brain / "left" brain icons help to accommodate the predominate style of the learner
