1 Rhythm recognition Workshop
Version: Jun 2016

2 Learning outcomes This workshop should enable you to:
list the indications for ECG monitoring demonstrate how to monitor the ECG effectively explain the basic physiology of the ECG describe the 6-stage approach to rhythm recognition identify each of the common 12-lead ECG patterns of acute myocardial infarction

3 What are the indications for ECG monitoring?

4 How to monitor the ECG self-adhesive pads 3-lead monitoring
4

5 Self-adhesive pads 5

6 3-lead monitoring

7 Conducting system

8 QRS Complex

9 How to read a rhythm strip
1. Is there any electrical activity with a pulse?

10 How to read a rhythm strip
1. Is there any electrical activity with a pulse? 2. What is the ventricular (QRS) rate? 3. Is the QRS rhythm regular or irregular? 4. Is the QRS width normal (narrow) or broad?

11 How to read a rhythm strip
1. Is there any electrical activity with a pulse? 2. What is the ventricular (QRS) rate? 3. Is the QRS rhythm regular or irregular? 4. Is the QRS width normal (narrow) or broad? Describe the rhythm on this basis. Continue further only if you are sure that you can see atrial activity.

12 How to read a rhythm strip
1. Is there any electrical activity with a pulse? 2. What is the ventricular (QRS) rate? 3. Is the QRS rhythm regular or irregular? 4. Is the QRS width normal (narrow) or broad? 5. Is atrial activity present? (If so, what is it: P waves? Other atrial activity?) 6. How is atrial activity related to ventricular activity?
