To provide a comprehensive clinical review of ECG and Arrhythmia Interpretation. Practical application is stressed.
RHYTHM INTERPRETATION REVIEW
Review of the Clinical Approach
to ECG Interpretation Arrhythmias – beginning with the Basics, and advancing to
Intermediate Level and beyond. Among the topics covered in addition to the basic rhythms
are Narrow and Wide Tachycardias, Nodal Rhythms, MAT, AIVR, Vagal Maneuvers, AV
Blocks.
OVERVIEW OF ECG INTERPRETATION
Review of the Systematic
Approach to ECG Interpretation – with attention to Basic Rhythms, Intervals, Axis, Chamber
Enlargement, Bundle Branch Blocks, Hemiblocks, Ischemia/Infarction, Electrolyte Disorders,
Pericarditis, WPW, Technical Errors, and Normal Variant Patterns. Numerous illustrations;
Clinical relevance is stressed.
MANAGEMENT OF CARDIAC ARRHYTHMIAS
This session will refine
arrhythmia diagnosis concepts covered in Session #1 - and clinically apply these
concepts to a representative series of Arrhythmia Case Studies from office and hospital
settings. Practical assessment and management of each case will be discussed.
PRACTICE 12-LEAD TRACINGS
Each participant will have the
opportunity to work through 20 representative Practice 12-Lead ECGs in the Workbook they
will receive. We’ll then work through these tracings together during this session. Detailed
Explained Answers are provided in the Workbook that participants may keep.
ACLS: PRACTICE CODE SCENARIOS
Each participant will have the
opportunity to work through 4 involved Practice Code Scenarios in Cardiac Arrest in the
Workbook they will receive. We’ll then work through each case together during this session.
Detailed Explained Answers are provided in the Workbook that participants may keep. This
is not an ACLS Course – but ACLS Guidelines will be reviewed.
OFFICE ECGs – A Clinical Approach
Further reinforcement of the
concepts covered in earlier sessions by means of a series of 12-Lead Tracings I’ve
collected as a Primary Care Clinician at the Bedside. We’ll review each tracing in detail)
OPTIMAL USE OF COMPUTERIZED ECG INTERPRETATIONS
Like
it or not – a computerized interpretation comes with virtually every ECG you order either in
the office or in the hospital. This interesting session provides insight on how to make
computerized interpretations your ally.
