NURS 6525 - Electrocardiography for Critical Care Nurses

3 credit hours

A systematic approach to the interpretation of cardiac dysrhythmias and 12-lead electrocardiographic abnormalities. Disturbances of automaticity and conductivity are summarized, including electrocardiographic characteristics, hemodynamic consequences, and therapeutic interventions of sinus, atrial, junctional, and ventricular arrhythmias and conduction abnormalities. An overview of 12-lead, 15-lead, and 18-lead electrocardiograms is presented as a foundation for recognizing abnormalities, such as myocardial infarction patterns and bundle branch blocks.
