WHAT THIS EVENT IS ABOUT
The expansion of telemetry across specialist units and general wards has increased the responsibility of nurses and midwives to recognise and respond promptly to cardiac rhythm changes. While not all clinicians work in cardiac settings, rhythm abnormalities can occur in any area, including maternity and postnatal care.
Understanding the foundations of electrophysiology and the three core measurement parameters helps clinicians recognise deviations from normal rhythms. This knowledge is essential for supporting cardiac safety in both maternity care and telemetry wards.
LEARNING OUTCOMES
In this seminar, you will:
❤️ Identify the three essential parameters (values) that assist with the analysis of a rhythm strip
❤️ Demonstrate how to work out these parameters: PR interval, QRS width, and QT interval
❤️ How to interpret a 12-lead ECG
❤️ Explore the additional clinical scenarios of a drug overdose and post-myocardial infarction and what the Nurse would observe on a rhythm strip of that patient
