The growth of telemetry in both specialist units and general ward situations has heightened the nurse’s responsibility to ensure their knowledge regarding cardiac arrhythmias and ECG interpretation is current and reflects best practice guidelines.

The content covered in this seminar is considered essential knowledge and clinical competence of any nurse working in the areas of ward telemetry, coronary care, critical care, and emergency nursing. It is also key information for a nurse working in other clinical areas who is wanting to upskill their knowledge on the interpretation of arrhythmias.

Understanding of the foundation of electrophysiology and the three parameters of measurements will aid nurses in recognition of any deviation from the normal cardiac rhythm.

Seminar Learning Outcomes:

In this seminar you will:

Identify the three essential parameters (values) that assist with analysis of a rhythm.
Demonstrate how to work out these three parameters: PR interval, QRS width, QT.
How to interpret a 12 lead ECG.
Explore the additional clinical scenarios of a drug overdose and post myocardial infarction and what a nurse would observe on a rhythm strip of that patient.

You will also learn:

The cardiac complex: waves, segments and timing intervals
The foundation of interpretation of sinus rhythm
The presentation and pathophysiology of atrial fibrillation
Two potentially life-threatening complications of atrial fibrillation
Interpretation of PEA (Pulseless electrical activity) and VT(Ventricular tachycardia)
The treatment of PEA and VT according to the Australian and New Zealand Committee of Resuscitation guidelines (ANZCOR)
The importance of assertive communication in getting the best outcome for your patient
The warning signs of impending cardiac arrest on the telemetry monitor
The R on T phenomenon
Sudden cardiac death in the youth
Hereditary Long QT interval syndrome
How a patient with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) presents and the gender issues on presentation
The common errors that are made in performing a 12 lead ECG
The difference between angina, anterior and inferior MI on the 12 lead ECG
