Chalk full of pearls and no fluff. Hone in on the high risk topics that are clinically relevant.
Start by making a "normal EKG cheat sheet" and work through actual ekgs together. Use custom made cheat sheets that we will use throughout the workshop.
You don't have to lear EVERYTHING about EKG's. You just have to know the big stuff, the lethal findings the machine may miss.
Go back to the basics reviewing each wave, the intervals and what each part of the conduction system does.
By looking at the EKG based on their complaint, it allows you to look for specific high risk findings. Do you know the 5 things you should always look for and document on any patient with palpitations? Do you know how to find an S1 q3 t3 and why this MATTERS?
What is a Q wave and when do I worry about it?
So many STEMI mimics will try to fool you (Benign early repolarization, pericarditis to name a few). How to spot the subtle ischemia that is often read by the machine software as non specific ST changes.
This is where we put it altogether with the heart model and connect the dots between what we are seeing on the surface EKG and how it relates to the anatomy.
17 Cases that we will do together, with you looking over my shoulder, showing you every finding, using a step by step approach.
"I've been a PA for 20 years...This class has actually helped me understand EKGS... I am recertifying for the third time and I think I am ready!"
