Medical School | Cardiology Rotation - EKG BASICS

Hi everyone! As promised, this video is about some EKG Basics. Short overview incase you couldn't catch it in the video:

1. Is the patient in Sinus Rhythm? - Check for positive P waves in leads II, III, aVF
2. Heart Rate
3. Axis deviation - Check leads I & aVF
4. Left Anterior Fascicular Block? - Check lead II
5. P wave + PR intervals - are they long? are they short?
6. QRS complex - are they wide? more than 3 small boxes?
7. ST/T wave changes

I hope that helps. I wanted to read more samples of EKGs but then this video would be a bajillion hours long.

This channel actually started as a medical school blog in order for 5 medical students to keep in touch during clinical rotations third and fourth year. Along with my youtube videos, my friends still post regularly - they give great advice and vivid personal experiences. I think you all would really enjoy it. https://ellensburgdiningclub.wordpres...
