Teaching very basic EKG for ACLS prep

[Guest guest]

I need to teach a group of students the fundamentals of EKG

interpretation next week in preparation for their taking ACLS. I'm

trying to determine just what to teach. I have last year's ACLS book,

and no time to get a new Guidelines 2000 compliant ACLS book. Has much

changed in the area of EKG interpretaion and treatment? If I use last

year's ACLS book as a guide, and teach the basics of those rithyms that

were significant then, will I be ok?

And any leads on good resources for such a brief course? I have my copy

of " Basic Arrythmias " handy, but is there something more basic out

there, or better suited for a brief (2 hours) course?
