No longer second-guess yourself! Perfect the system of interpreting an EKG and eliminate the fear of ordering one. This course will give you the confidence to diagnose common EKG rhythms properly.
EKG 100 builds on principles introduced in Anatomy of an EKG. Learning foundational skills for EKG interpretation is a great start, but practicing these skills is important before gaining more knowledge and interpreting more advanced EKGs. This course includes simpler EKGs to build repetition, reinforcement, and confidence in interpretation skills.
-
Reinforce a systematic, step-by-step process to interpret an EKG.
-
Reinforce identification and measurement of the PR
interval, QRS complex, and QT/QTc interval.
-
Properly identify sinus rhythm, sinus bradycardia, sinus tachycardia, and sinus arrhythmia on an EKG.
-
Identify variants of normal on EKGs.
-
Identify intraventricular conduction delays (IVCDs).
-
Identify and understand the difference between sinus arrhythmia versus sinus rhythm with premature atrial contractions (PACs).
-
Recognize artifact and wandering baseline on EKGs.
-
Introduce principles of T wave abnormalities.
