Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support: Provider Manual Paperback – January 1, 2011

Great read along for class. As described

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.

ACLS can be very intimidating and over whelming, I liked the formate of this provider manual, I will actually use it to review off and on to keep up on myskill and knowledge of the ACLS protocol.It would be even better if it camewith a CD that contained questions pertaining to ACLS with rhythms, the type of questions one might find on their ACLS test.

The book was in excellent condition and I received it by mail very fast. The downfall of the book was that it was expensive especially for a nursing student and we didn't even need the book for the certification class even though they told us to order one. They gave us handouts and most people didn't have a book. Therefore, I felt it was a waste of money. However, the book is a great reference to keep up to date on ACLS and I'm sure I will need it again when I have to get recertified. I will keep the book since I plan on working in ER and hopefully becoming a flight nurse in three years!!!!

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.

The manual is 2005 edition. The ACLS guidelines were updated in 2010, so this is worthless if you are using it to study for a certification or recertification. In addition, there was no CD included. The edition should really be included in the product description so that you know what you are receiving. By the time this book came to me, it was too late to order another updated book. I am using ACLS algorithms.com online. It's a great site and at least, it is current with the 2010 guidelines.

This book is really nice. Pages are glossy and easy to read. Explainations are great. If you study this book you will pass your ACLS test. MUST BUY!This product came with a CD that was really helpful.Note those who are taking the test concentrate on the algorithms in the book. It is extremely helpful!

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.
