Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support: Provider Manual

Good handbook for ACLS classes and testing

Great read along for class. As described

Super fast

If this is your first ACLS class, this book will probably not be enough. It would be best to get a book on rhythm recognition and learn how to systematically analyze the rhythms before going to class. If this is not your first class, the book is great. I love the little cardboard algorithms that come with the book; I plan to laminate them. The information on strokes is more developed in this issue than in the last issue - that is exciting.

I am a physician, needed text book for ACLS algorithms and this is exactly the book. I ordered another publication book snd compared , this one is the best I would recommend to others looking for material on this subject.

I ordered and received a 2006 ACLS(Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support)manual which I didnot realize that it was out dated. It's a terrible thing to put up an out of date medical knowledge item for some one to learn. This could be possible medical liability consequences.Out of date cloths you can still wear,but matter to save lives should not be out of date. The item was almost free beside postage but that is not the point.

I found the book well organized and very easy to use. Passed my certification without any trouble, though you do need to do the pretest and study ahead of time - the class assumes you have. The book comes with pocket card algorithms which are helpful for quick reviewing/studying. Make sure you get the newest edition (2010) as there have been changes to the algorithms.

Has all info you need to know about acls. Also came with the pocket card which is $26 if you buy it alone. Very happy with the purchase.

2007年3月現在まだ日本語訳が出版されていませんので、今のところ2005年バージョンのACLSプロバイダーコースを受ける方はこのテキストで学ぶように指示されています。ガイドラインとECCハンドブックは日本語が出版されているので英語の苦手な方はこれらで事前学習をするとよいと思います。ただ、このテキストのCD-ROMに含まれる60問のプレテストに関しては、当日日本語解説があるといっても事前にやって理解しておいた方が、実のあるコース受講ができると思いました。一応、受講前に仕上げていくこともコース受講の条件になっていますし…。また、CD-ROMのサプリメントも結構有用で、例えばテキスト内にはあまり絵がないのですが、サプリメントが多少補っています。ちなみに、当日の筆記試験はプレテストより簡単だったように感じました。

Alogrithms for all arrythmias clearly written and easy to remember. The format of the book is nicely laid out in a logical sequence.

Standard Book

Outdated guidelines not current info waste of money for me I am very dissatisfied with this book it went in garbage

The reason why I selected 2 stars is that there new protocols coming for acls on November and this book is not gonna be helpful or officially used any more.. However the seller had really taken care very of the book very well that's why I gave 2 stars ...
