Audience /Overview
Basic EKG II Interpretation is designed to provide healthcare professionals the ability to interpret basic EKGs (electrocardiograms) and recognize myocardial infarction (MI). Students will increase their confidence in interpretation and practice through this course.
The program is devoted to learning the basics of the electrical conduction system of the heart, wave forms, a normal sinus rhythm, sinus dysrhythmias, atrial dysrhythmias, junctional dysrhythmias, heart blocks and ventricular dysrhythmias. A variety of teaching techniques will be used including: lecture, practice interpreting rhythm strips, videos, and case studies.
Upon successful completion of the course, you will be able to interpret EKG Lead II rhythm strips. This is a needed skill to care for monitored patients AND a great prerequisite for the ACLS class.
