The Basics of ECG Strips for Nursing
The Basics of ECG Strips for Nursing
The Main Learning Objectives
To list the basic components of an ECG strip
To define amplitude in relation to electrocardiogram (ECG) strips
To recall how many millimeters (mm) are in a millivolt (mV) and to identify how to measure amplitude on an ECG strip
To describe the isoelectric line and what it corresponds to in the cardiac cycle
To describe the components of the ECG strip in relation to the isoelectric line and to identify the two heart rates measured by an ECG strip
To identify the length of the ECG strip section needed to find the heart rate
To describe how to calculate the atrial heart rate & the ventricular heart rate using an ECG strip
To identify how to assess ventricular and atrial rhythm on an ECG strip and to describe the importance of assessing the heart rhythm
To recall what the P wave corresponds to in the cardiac cycle and to list the 4 questions to ask when analyzing P waves
To recall what the PR interval corresponds to in the cardiac cycle & to identify the relationship between PR interval and heart rate
To recall what the QRS complex corresponds to in the cardiac cycle & to describe why the QRS complex has a greater amplitude than the P wave & and to odentify how the QRS complex is measured
To recall what the ST segment corresponds to in the cardiac cycle & to recall potential causes of an abnormal ST segment
To recall what the T wave corresponds to in the cardiac cycle & to describe the normal characteristics of the T wave & to identify how to measure the amplitude of the T wave
To recall what the QT interval corresponds to in the cardiac cycle & to identify the relationship between heart rate and QT interval
To identify the effect of a prolonged QT interval on the body & to recall the steps of ECG interpretation and identify how to assess for sinus rhythm
To identify the criteria for normal sinus rhythm (NSR)
Methods of Education to Achieve the Objectives
Every video has specific objectives to be achieved
Initially , participant will have pre-test as a part of assessment steps
Participant will watch videos accompanied by images, pdf files , figures or diagrams. At the end , participant must pass post-test to get certification of completion. Participant must follow the learning path in the platform
Evaluation of Scientific Activity by the Participants
By evaluation form after completing course , it will be send to participants. It is an important to know that it will be mandatory to get certification
