I went to class in the telemetry floor where I work as a RN could not understand anything but a friend introduced me to this book and I am loving it.

Best Learning Tool! / / 2009-04-15
Basic Arrhythmias by Gail Walraven is a life saver! Not only does it address the subject of arrhythmias but it also conquers the issue of teaching and learning the complex and abstract art of reading cardiac rhythms. Basic Arrhythmias made learning the skill easy.

As a firefighter mid-way through an on-line paramedic course, I highly recommend Basic Arrhythmias to everyone in the field - especially if you are teaching yourself! I wish Gail Walraven would edit (or re-write) "Emergency Care and Transportation of the Sick and Injured" by Jones and Bartlet Publishers!

Essential for emergency health care providers! / / 2009-02-22
Keeping it short and sweet...this is a book that's written in a way that makes it easy to understand. Abundance of practice strips throughout the book, set in stages, makes it easy to get used to reading them. I recommend it for anyone that's going to be in the emergency setting. If I had to come up with a negative, the answers in the back on the strips that you read aren't always as accurate in measurement as they should be so don't beat yourself up too bad if you don't come up with exactly the same answers.
