12-Lead ECG for Acute and Critical Care Providers

This is actually a repurchase of the book because I lost my previous one. I struggled hard with 12 leads during my paramedic course and no amount of extra credit or 1:1 instructor time would help. I can't remember how I found out about this book but it was probably through one of Bob's classes that I've taken in the past. This book was fantastic in helping me sort out 12 leads and make them easier to understand. There are tons of practice EKGs throughout the book which is helpful as well as a breakdown of why things look the way they do. This book may not help everyone but it helped me, which is why I repurchased it. Highly recommend!

This is hands down the only book you need to learn 12 lead ekgs. I was lucky enough to attend a lecture by the author and the book is written just as he teaches- simple and effective. Get this book you won’t regret it

Great book for starting critical ECG reading, has a lot of practice strips, and goes more in depth on a greater understanding of ECG skills to utilize in the field.

Bob Page is one of the biggest names in resources for learning 12 lead analysis. There are a lot of terrific internet based sources for keeping your skills sharp, but if you're learning 12 leads for the first time, or expanding your knowledge base because you WISH you had learned 12 leads in class but had to settle for just surviving the course, this is a great book to start with. The book begins at the beginning rather than assuming a huge background in ECG analysis. If you follow the order of analysis that this book follows, you'll find yourself well prepared to look at all those squiggly lines and make sense of it. Even better, you'll find yourself among the more educated and talented paramedics or clinicians if you can commit MOST of this book to practice.My paramedic cardiology course covered this book completely in one form or another. Because of that, when I analyze 12 lead ECGs and discuss them with other paramedics, I find my level of understanding to exceed that of other people. That's a pretty good sign that this book will put you at the front of the pack. I still go back and re-read some parts to freshen my skills.A word to paramedic students: This book shouldn't be considered "optional" for you, it's "mandatory." You'll appreciate the level of understanding you get, and nothing will be above your head.

The author is one of the best, so what is there not to like about the book?

A MUST for advanced 12 lead interpretation. Hundreds of 12 leads to practice with, each chapter broken down with easy to understand instruction on interpretation rules. Go beyond just looking for the STEMI and always remember as Bob said and it is so true; "In lead II, you have no clue!". I use this book as a reference teaching my Paramedic students (Para-pups) and have seen outstanding results when they reach the field.

I attended Mr. Page's lecture at our State EMS Symposium, and while the book does not match the exciting style and fun atmosphere of his presentation (difficult for any book to do that, I think) as one previous reviewer mentioned, this book does a great job teaching this now essential skill. The information is organized in short-to-the-point segments and the information is presented in a common sense format. I have read or skimmed through many books on this subject matter and for me, this book did the best job. My recommendation is that every Paramedic or critical care provider should own this textbook. Good luck! - Joe (Paramedic)

I really liked this book. Being a paramedic student it really broke down the rhythms and anatomy of the heart effected. I did a lot of research before hand and found this one. I’d recommend to paramedic students!

Easy to followGreat book

Of all the ECG textbooks that I've used during my paramedicine degree, this is by far the best one I've read. It explains key concepts clearly and concisely. While other textbooks may be required by your university, if you want to develop a good understanding and improve as a practitioner, this is the one to go to.

Clear and well presented book with tones of practice ECG's. Really, nice to read through as it gets to the point quickly. The paper is of good quality and is a joy to write on for notes. Good margin space for note taking.

Une référence simplet et claire pour les personnes qui souhaite travailler leur lecture et leur compréhension de l'électrocardiogramme.Il faut toutefois maîtriser un peu l'anglais...
