SummaryTable of Contents
The 2nd edition of ACLS Quick Review Study Guide offers a complete, concise overview of ACLS (advanced cardiovascular life support), acute coronary syndromes, and acute stroke. Full-color throughout, it has been updated to reflect the new 2000 guidelines for CPR and emergency cardiovascular care. It features easy-to-access information with Stop and Review quizzes in each chapter and a comprehensive pre-test and post-test. Plus, the updated 2nd edition now includes a new chapter on The ABCDs of Emergency Cardiac Care, a new chapter on Acute Ischemic Stroke, and an expanded chapter on Airway Management. An all-new section of case presentations is also included, based on the 10 core algorithms of emergency cardiovascular care. In addition to being an outstanding study tool, the ACLS Quick Review Study Guide, 2nd Edition, is the official text for the American Safety and Health Institute ACLS certification course.
