Managing Cardiac Emergencies Handbook

Written by critical care practitioners who have taught advanced cardiac life support (ACLS) workshops for a combined period of 35 years, Managing Cardiac Emergencies (MCE) brings a practicalapproach to responding to acute cardiac events.

This handbook begins where most ACLS texts leave off. The guidebook covers not only the required actions demanded in a cardiac emergency but also the rationale behind those actions. Quickly learn to triage and appropriately treat patients experiencing cardiorespiratory emergencies.
