<span>ECGs - Easy as 123!</span>

This webinar is relevant to anyone who records electrocardiograms (ECGs), and would like to understand the trace it gives, and relate that to the nursing care required. It will start with a comprehensive examination of what a ‘normal’ ECG should look like, breaking down each stage of the conduction cycle. The lecture will then discuss how to interpret ECG traces and identify common arrhythmias seen in practice, such as atrial fibrillation, ventricular tachycardia and atrioventricular block, and look at some common reasons why they might occur. Guidance will also be provided for sedation and anaesthesia, with the aim of providing greater confidence for understanding the most commonly seen arrhythmias.

1. Understand how to record a good quality ECG trace
2. Explain the sinus complex
3. Identify common arrhythmias seen in practice
4. Understand what nursing action may be required
