 Cathy Lockett – Fundamentals of Rhythms and 12-Lead EKGs

It’s two o’clock on a Sunday morning and You are the Charge Nurse for a 24-hour shift-Bed Telemetry/Med Surg Unit Mrs. J is on Telemetry in Room # 312. and The alarm for her low heart beat monitor goes off.

You can assess her and Notice that she has a BP. of 74/42, cool and clammy skin and Reported complaints of dizziness. What does the rhythm strip tell us about the patient’s condition? Are you able to identify the next step?

Learn what clues to search for and What steps should you take after reading this information?-packed seminar. Clear understanding of the topic. of and Basic recognition skills and Advanced cardiac dysrhythmias. The systematic approach to EKG interpretation is taught. This includes advanced skills in recognizing STEMI imposters and distinguishing ischemia from infarct. and There are many other reasons. of An abnormal EKGs. These skills will improve patient outcomes for patients such as Mrs. and You can anticipate the needs of others and help them to see you in practice and complications.
