Target Audience

RNs, LPNs, cardio-vascular monitor techs, and other healthcare professionals with VERY LIMITED OR NO experience in ECG rhythm interpretation who wish to master the skill of the very basics of ECG interpretation

Description

This program is being offered in cooperation with UNC Chapel Hill School of Nursing.

This ECG Interpretation Part I is designed to improve interpretation of EKG rhythms. A systematic approach will be utilized to identify waveforms, measurements of intervals, and calculation of heart rate. This 3-hour workshop will focus on sinus rhythms, atrial arrhythmias, heart blocks, and pacemakers. This also details the nursing responsibilities and first line treatments for common dysrhythmias.

Objectives

• Identify the normal conduction system of the heart.
• Discuss the pathophysiology of the heart in relation to cardiac arrhythmias.
• Utilize a systematic approach for interpreting basic EKG rhythms, both lethal and non-lethal.
• Apply a systematic approach for basic EKG rhythm interpretation to include labeling waveforms and measuring intervals of EKG rhythm strips to diagnose arrhythmias.
