Nurses speed their mastery of an advanced skill with this instructional video, including how to correctly record and interpret ECG rhythm strips, recognize and understand the clinical significance of arrhythmias, and intervene appropriately. The video covers electrocardiography, the basics of cardiac conduction and waveform components, interpretation of the ECG rhythm strip, and 20 cardiac rhythms with patient examples. The companion workbook includes cardiac conduction; application of cardiac monitoring electrodes; identification of ECG waveform components; interpretation of the rhythm strip using the 8-step method; interpretation of 20 selected sinus, atrial, junctional, and ventricular rhythms, including life-threatening arrhythmias and appropriate treatment; self-tests in examining and interpreting arrhythmias with answers; and a CE test.
