I was not involved in any of the studies but did a boat load of research on them before writing the grant.

Just a guess, is it a WPW causing a run of abberantly conducted SVT?

The improvised chairs mentioned in one of the previous post are called rehab chairs distributed through Morning Pride. The concept of forearm immersion has been around for a while, I believe the military has been using it for some time. Studies have shown that immersion of the forearm in cool or tepid water can drop the body temp by approximately 4 degrees F in about 10 minutes. We are waiting for some grant money to purchase them for each of our transport vehicles. I will update when they arrive.

Bound Tree medical supply has a grant assistant section on their website. I am not sure what it cost but I know they can take alot of the headache out of grant writing and research.

I also agree that Dubin's book is an excellent start. I also recommend Taigman's Advanced Cardiology (In Plain English) by Mike Taigman. This really simplifies interpreting 12 leads utilizing concepts he developed from the old 3 lead machines. I use his theories when I teach my intro to 12 leads class and students say they found it to be the most easy to understand. Remember to master the basics of EKG interpretation before advancing to 12 leads and beyond.
