An introduction to electrocardiography in small animal medicine, aimed at nurses in emergency practice. Are you frightened of turning on the ECG or scared of what you might find? ECGs can be a really useful tool in emergency practice but understanding what they are telling you about your patients can be hard. This webinar will give an introduction to ECGs and give you more confidence when faced with those funny-looking waveforms. Dave will discuss basic cardiac physiology and explain how the ECG trace is created before running through some common examples of normal and abnormal traces. There will be questions along the way to keep you on your toes and a quiz at the end to cement your learning.
