Organized and easy-to-use, this book of flashcards provides the perfect method for students to prepare for upcoming tests or to go over difficult concepts. The material is organized sequentially, following the study guide, covering all aspects of ACLS. Each card includes a question on the front and an answer on the back, as well as a hole in the top corner, to aid in making a custom deck or organizing the cards on a ring. The cards are also small and portable, so they can be taken anywhere for instant practice. Barbara Aehlert is an acknowledged and accomplished expert in the field of ACLS, and she is able to convey her vast knowledge in a clear and easy-to-read writing style. The material covered stands alone, so that the cards can be used with or without ACLS Quick Review Study Guide (ACLS QRSG). Full color presentation allows for color-coding and easy correlation with the ACLS QRSG, making it easier to find topics for additional study. With a total of 500 flashcards, the information is quite comprehensive, spanning the entire spectrum of ACLS topics. Material on myocardial infarction and dysrhythmia recognition with practice rhythm strips provides exhaustive coverage of heart-related difficulties. More than 60 cards on airway alone gives a solid review of this critical topic. "Putting It All Together" chapter features 50 case studies, encouraging students to use their critical thinking skills to determine the correct management of the patient. More than 160 vivid images illustrate difficult concepts, show actual pieces of equipment, and add depth to case studies. Cards are not only perforated, but they are also hole-punched, allowing students to thread them onto a ring and take their own customized deck anywhere. Completely updated to correspond with the most current emergency cardiovascular care guidelines and the second edition of the book, the cards are ideal for students already using the book (available in a convenient combo package for this purpose).
