12 Lead EKG-Fundamentals in 1 day

This one-day classroom based, facilitator led course helps in understanding the fundamentals of 12 LEAD EKG, as it pertains to dysrhythmias and improves electrocardiogram (EKG) recognition and interpretation skills for healthcare providers working with monitored patients.

12 lead EKG interpretation and monitoring has becoming standard at inpatient, emergency departments and acute outpatient care settings. Nurses and allied healthcare professionals are responsible for cardiac patients including monitoring and synthesizing cardiac rhythms and 12 lead EKG interpretation to assist with determining a care plan for patients. They must develop critical thinking skills required to quickly and accurately identify potentially life-threatening conditions. This comprehensive 12 LEAD EKG fundamental course is designed for those healthcare professionals wishing to enhance their level of education. This course includes in-depth understanding of anatomy and physiology of the cardiac system pertaining to the 12 lead EKG, 12 lead EKG electrode placement and understanding of normal 12 lead EKG and the rhythm associated with each lead, recognition of lethal and non-lethal dysrhythmias and identification of myocardial infarctions on the 12 lead EKG.

 What you will learn in this course:

                •     Normal cardiac anatomy and physiology.

•     How electrical conduction affects myocardial contraction and associated electrolyte movements?

•     All of the major dysrhythmias, possible causes and usual treatment (if warranted).

•     Fundamental interpretation of the 12 lead EKG and it’s used with cardiac rhythm interpretation.

•     Recognition of Myocardial Infarction patterns on the 12 LEAD EKG and the potential cardiac dysrhythmias associated with MI.

•     Few medication associated with  abnormal rhythm’s.

                   Continuing Education:  Issued under BRN (We do not provide CME's) Not everyone is eligible for continuing education credit for this course.

                      After course completion, eligible students will receive 8 hours of CE’s for the 12 Lead Fundamental Course.
