Description:

You will gain the essential skills and in-depth knowledge for determining:

Axis Deviation
A Systematic Approach to the 12-lead ECG
Bundle Branch Block Identification
Myocardial Injury & Ischemia
Arrhythmia Interpretation

Attend this comprehensive ECG seminar and take your ECG knowledge to the next level. Your speakers Cynthia Webner, DNP, RN, CCNS, CCRN-CMC, CHFN, and Karen Marzlin, DNP, RN, CCNS, CCRN-CMC, CHFN will focus on the direct application of ECG interpretation in clinical practice and case study analyses, with many opportunities to practice your 12-lead ECG assessment skills.

Cindy and Karen have developed innovative teaching methods that will improve your long-term retention of key concepts through engaged hands-on learning activities, such as the creation of a reference worksheet that includes visual reminders for rapid and accurate assessment. You will use these skills every day in your clinical practice.

OBJECTIVES

Identify correct electrode placement required for accurate 12-lead ECG acquisition.
Differentiate normal from abnormal patterns on each lead of the 12-lead ECG.
Determine cardiac axis using lead I and aVF.
Describe the 12-lead ECG features seen in atrial and ventricular hypertrophy.
Contrast the features of right bundle branch block from the features of left bundle branch block.
Recognize patterns of infarct, injury, and ischemia on the 12-lead.
Utilize morphology in Lead V1 and V6 to differentiate ventricular tachycardia from SVT with aberrant conduction.
Recognize long QT as a risk factor for Torsades de Pointes.
