Durante cuarenta y cinco años, ECG fácil ha sido considerada una de las mejores guías de introducción al ECG. Este libro, elogiado por The British Medical Journal como «un clásico de la medicina», ha sido el favorito de generaciones de estudiantes de Medicina y profesionales de enfermería. Esta novena edición será de gran valor para todos los profesionales médicos y sanitarios que deseen adquirir conocimientos claros y básicos sobre el ECG. Un nuevo capítulo inicial, titulado «ECG muy fácil de verdad», presenta los aspectos esenciales del uso del ECG en la práctica clínica con la mínima teoría y el máximo enfoque práctico. La segunda parte explica la teoría en la que se basa el registro de un ECG para comenzar la interpretación básica de las 12 derivaciones. La tercera, se centra en la interpretación clínica de ECG individuales en pacientes con dolor torácico, disnea, palpitaciones y síncope, así como en la comprensión de las variaciones normales en los ECG obtenidos en personas sanas.

Heart Failure, An Issue of Critical Nursing Clinics

• 1st Edition
• Volume 27-4
• November 25, 2015
• Jennifer Kitchens
• English

Heart failure is the only cardiovascular disease that is increasing. The impact on the critical care environment and the health care system, as a whole, is significant from both a cost and burden to the system perspective. There are 6.5 million hospital days a year and nearly $40 billion dollars in yearly health care costs attributed to heart failure in the United States. There are more Medicare monies spent for diagnosing and treating heart failure than any other Diagnosis Related Group. There is a 24% hospital re-admission rate for this diagnosis which leads to financial implications for health care systems.The human cost is also significant. Less than half of Americans diagnosed with heart failure survive greater than 5 years. The ongoing health care needs and cost of this chronic disease takes a significant toll on patients’ finances, time and quality of life. Over $2.9 billion dollars is spent annually on the pharmaceutical management of heart failure in the United States. This diagnosis is the leading cause of hospitalization for patients who are 65 years of age and older. Few health care providers in the critical care environment are not affected by heart failure on a routine basis. Caring for these patients and their families is both a challenging and yet a rewarding experience. This edition will provide critical care nurses with a comprehensive heart failure review which is essential in caring for this challenging population given the dynamic health and critical care environments.

Respiratory Muscle Training

• 1st Edition
• April 18, 2013
• Alison McConnell
• English

Respiratory Muscle Training: theory and practice is the world’s first book which provides an "everything-you-need-to-know" guide to respiratory muscle training (RMT). Authored by an internationally-acclaimed leading expert, it is an evidence-based resource, built upon current scientific knowledge, as well as clinical experience at the cutting-edge of respiratory training in a wide range of settings. The aim of the book is to give readers: 1) an introduction to respiratory physiology and exercise physiology, as well as training theory; 2) an understanding of how disease affects the respiratory muscles and the mechanics of breathing; 3) an insight into the disease-specific, evidence-based benefits of RMT; 4) advice on the application of RMT as a standalone treatment, and as part of a rehabilitation programme; and finally, 5) guidance on the application of functional training techniques to RMT. The book is divided into two parts – theory and practice. Part I provides readers with access to the theoretical building blocks that support practice. It explores the evidence base for RMT as well as the different methods of training respiratory muscles and their respective efficacy. Part II guides the reader through the practical implementation of the most widely validated form of RMT, namely inspiratory muscle resistance training. Finally, over 100 "Functional" IMT exercises are described, which incorporate a stability and/or postural challenge, including exercises that address specific "dyspnoeagenic" movements. Respiratory Muscle Training: theory and practice is supported by a dedicated website (www.physiobreathe.com), which provides access to the latest information on RMT, as well as video clips of all exercises described in the book. Purchasers will also receive a three-month free trial of the Physiotec software platform, which allows clinicians to create bespoke training programmes (including video clips) that can be printed or emailed to patients. "[More importantly] it provides an evidence base for the incorporation of respiratory muscle training for a variety of conditions."
