TARGET AUDIENCE:
This course is designed for Physicians, Certified Registered
Nurse Anesthetists, Registered Nurses, Physician Assistants, and other medical
care providers who need to obtain or update EKG interpretation skills and documentation.
PROGRAM PURPOSE:
Due to the inherent knowledge, skills, practice locations, and
populations of patients served by practitioners of anesthesiology and/or emergency
and critical care medicine, the physicians, nurses, and other such advanced
care providers are summoned to interpret the EKG reading and often treat the
underlying dysryhthmia. This program is designed to update these practitioners
with the latest information on this body of scientific information.
OBJECTIVES:
At the conclusion of this program, the participant will be able
to:
Review the 12-lead EKG system, the normal morphology of the
EKG waveforms, and options for lead placement.
Define the criteria for assessing evidence of myocardial ischemia, injury, and infarction, including the limitations of the EKG.
Review the classic placement of chest leads and limb leads as well as discuss legitimate variations available for EKG lead placement for surgical and postoperative patients.
Apply the criteria for the diagnosis of supraventricular arrhythmias (e.g., sinus bradycardia, atrial tachycardia, atrial flutter, atrial fibrillation, and Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome).
Explain the treatment guidelines for supraventricular arrhythmias.
Apply the criteria for the diagnosis of first degree heart block, second degree heart block (Mobitz I & II), and third degree heart block with a junctional escape or ventricular escape rhythm.
Discuss the treatment of AV nodal and infranodal arrhythmias.
Apply the criteria for the diagnosis of ventricular arrhythmias (e.g., torsade de pointes, ventricular tachycardia, ventricular fibrillation.
Discuss the recommended treatment for ventricular arrhythmias.
Diagnose faculty-presented EKG rhythm strips and 12 Lead EKGs, reviewing the criteria by which each was identified.
Clarify the material presented throughout the day through questions and answers and discuss participants' concerns for application in their own clinical settings.
Concurrent Courses
We are offering other seminars/workshops either during or after
EKG. If you have colleagues that wish to come with you, but do not need to take
EKG, if you desire to obtain additional credits while at the location, or you
