12 Lead EKG's Demystified - A Behind The Scenes Look

Master the Fundamentals of EKG Interpretation

This course provides a solid foundation in understanding electrocardiograms (EKGs), designed for all levels – whether you're a beginner or looking to refresh your skills. You'll learn a systematic approach to EKG interpretation, enabling you to confidently assess cardiac rhythm and identify potential issues.

Here's what you'll cover:

• Normal Cardiac Conduction: A thorough review of typical heart electrical pathways, including normal intervals and wave morphology.
• Heart Rate Assessment: Learn how to accurately determine heart rate using both a full EKG tracing and a rhythm strip.
• PQRST Model: Understand and apply the PQRST model for comprehensive EKG interpretation, covering key components like provocation/prevention, quality, severity, and time.
• Normal EKG Review: Gain a clear understanding of what a normal EKG looks like.
• STEMI Identification: A basic review focusing on recognizing ST-elevation myocardial infarctions (STEMIs) – a critical skill in emergency care.
• EKG Troubleshooting: Learn to identify and address common EKG artifacts and 60-cycle interference, ensuring accurate readings.

Develop the skills to confidently read EKGs and respond effectively to various cardiac conditions. This course equips you with the essential knowledge for reliable EKG interpretation.
