*Registration payment includes Credit Cards and Interfund Transfers ONLY.

Target Audience

RNs, LPNs, Respiratory Therapists and other interested healthcare professionals who have a basic understanding of ECG interpretation and who need further education and practice with 12-Lead ECG Interpretation.

Description

This course 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.

"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 - 2- Advanced ECG Interpretation: October 25, 2017

The "ECG Core Series - 2: Advanced ECG Interpretation" workshop is recommended for those who wish to expand on the knowledge and skills learned in the "ECG Core Series 1: Basic ECG Interpretation" workshop. This advanced workshop will focus more on difficult rhythms such as junctional, ventricular, and blocks.

Objectives

• Relate the configuration of each of the 12 Leads of the ECG to pathological events
• Correlate ECG abnormalities to coronary artery blood flow.
• Utilize a systematic approach for interpreting axis deviation, if present
• Differentiate right and left bundle branch blocks using V1 and V6
• Describe the ECG changes associated with atrial enlargement and ventricular hypertrophy
• Recognize the distinction among ischemia, injury, and MI, relating the patterns of infarction/ischemia to the walls of the heart
• State one potential complication for each type of infarction
• Practice a systematic approach to 12 Lead ECG interpretation
• Describe the sequence of normal R-wave progression
• Describe the ECG changes that may be caused by electrolyte imbalances and/ or medications
