To summarize, the Basic EKG Interpretation class uses engaging exercises and illustrations to teach students not only the “how” but also the “why” of EKG. In particular, students will learn how to break down arrhythmia interpretation by key focus areas, such as the PR interval, QRS width, appearance of waves, and more. In addition, this course discusses how to respond to abnormal ECG rhythms. Regarding this, students will learn the proper medications dosages, as well as joules for electrical cardioversion, defibrillation and pacing. Furthermore, students will also be able to identify arrhythmia’s as either sinus, atrial, junctional or ventricular and understand how it relates to treatment. Basic EKG Interpretation also includes extensive rhythm strip identification practice to build competency.
