ECG Core Series- 2: Advanced ECG Interpretation: Beyond the Basics

Share This Event

*Registration payment includes Credit Cards and Interfund Transfers ONLY.

Target Audience

RNs, LPNs, Respiratory Therapists, cardio-vascular monitor techs, and other healthcare professionals with limited experience in ECG rhythm interpretation who wish to master the skill of basic ECG interpretation.

Description

This one-day interactive, fast paced class is designed for individuals to build upon basic knowledge to gain a more in-depth understanding of more challenging rhythms. The focus is not on memorization but the ability to understand the physiology behind what is happening. This class also details the nursing responsibilities and first line treatments for common dysrhythmias.

"ECG Core Series- 1: Basic ECG Interpretation" is a one-day course designed to equip the participant with the BASIC knowledge essential for interpreting ECG rhythms. Methods for identifying P, QRS, T waveforms, measurements of segments and intervals, and calculation of heart rate provide the tools necessary to interpret basic rhythms.

ECG Core Series- 3- 12-Lead ECG Interpretation: November 29, 2017
Follow this link to register for ECG Core Series- 3

"ECG Core Series-3 12-Lead ECG Interpretation" workshop offers a systematic approach for examining and interpreting 12 lead ECG’s as well as basic treatments in various situations and potential problems that may be encountered. Topics will include ischemia, injury, infarcts, bundle branch blocks, axis deviations.

Objectives

  • State the location and intrinsic rates for SA node, AV, junction, Bundle of His, and Purkinje fiber
  • Identify how to calculate heart rate using 360 method
  • Define normal duration for intervals/complexes, and normal appearance of each waveform
  • Describe the ECG characteristics for sinus rhythms, atrial rhythms, ventricular rhythms, and heart blocks
  • State the differences between junctional, accelerated junctional and junctional tachycardia
  • Identify characteristics for ventricular rhythms to include AIVR and ventricular tachycardia
  • Distinguish between first degree, second degree (type I and II), and complete heart block
  • Interpret atrial and ventricular paced rhythms and recognize malfunctioning pacemakers according to rhythm strips
