About the session: 

The goal of this full-day session is to enable the bedside professional to perform an interpretation of a 12-lead ECG and apply it to the clinical setting.  Recognition of normal waves and a “quick and dirty” way to determine axis is presented.  Bundle branch block patterns and hemiblocks are reviewed using 12-lead tracings.

Recognition of ischemia, injury and infarction is accomplished using a pathophysiologic approach to enhance understanding of the mechanism of the condition and then correlate it to the changes seen on the 12-lead.  Chamber hypertrophy, electrolyte imbalances, and drug effects are also reviewed using patient assessment parameters and changes seen in the electrical system of the heart.

Objectives: 

• Verbalize the ability to look at a 12-lead ECG and recognize normal waves and conduction.
• Identify intraventricular conduction delays which may be present on the 12-lead ECG.
• Describe the ECG changes and patterns seen in myocardial ischemia and infarction.
• Verbalize the ability to recognize ECG changes associated with chamber hypertrophy, electrolyte imbalances, and medications and other medical conditions. 

Recent seminar comments:

 “The information presented here will be used everyday in the work setting.  I now have a better understanding of ECGs and how they apply to my patients.”

“Always a pleasure listening to you. I have taken several ECG classes. You made learning ECGs easier to understand.”

“Excellent coverage of material.  Very informative class.”
