ECG Interpretation

ECG interpretation for all

This course is designed for individuals involved in monitoring and recording ECG traces.

The course will focuse on conduction systems and its defects in relation to ECG interpretation including:

- Origin of rhythms

- Artificial Cardiac Pacing - Coronary artery

- Non-ischaemic chest pain

- Ventricular-excitation

- Abnormal metabolic and electrolyte

This course is intended for all staff who need to provide a quick and accurate analysis of presenting ECG.

Info: Day 1: Foundations & Rhythm Recognition
Focuses on the "why" and "how" of recording, plus identifying the heart's basic electrical rhythms.
• Anatomy & Physiology: Review of cardiac anatomy and the heart's electrical conduction system.
• Technical Skills: Proper electrode placement for a 12-lead ECG, skin preparation, and troubleshooting artifacts like muscle tremors.
• The Normal ECG: Defining the normal sinus rhythm and understanding standard measurements for P-waves, PR intervals, and QRS complexes.
• Rate Calculation: Using methods like the 300 rule or the 6-second method for irregular rhythms.

Info:
Day 2: Clinical Abnormalities & Interpretation
Focuses on diagnosing pathologies and making clinical decisions based on complex tracings.
• Arrhythmias: Detailed look at tachyarrhythmias (AFib, Flutter, SVT) and bradyarrhythmias.
• Conduction Defects:
