ECG Interpretation Course – Session 1: Fundamentals of ECG Interpretation

This course provides case based review of ECG interpretation for nurses, doctors & paramedics.

ECG interpretation is a complex skill that requires practice and experience. Using a framework for interpretation helps provide foundational knowledge to develop and maintain the skills needed to interpret ECGs accurately. Using real-world experience, this course will link ECG interpretation to patient case studies to help you focus on identifying the key aspects of analysis including:

• Basic ECG anatomy including waveforms, complexes and intervals.
• Abnormal ECG tracing for patients with common cardiovascular conditions including Atrial Fibrillation, Heart Blocks, Bundle Branch Blocks and ST changes.
• ECG interpretation of significant cardiac conditions including ACS.
• The role of ECGs to determine appropriate treatment plans including referral to specialist care.

During this course, you will acquire a structured approach to analyzing ECGs including a step-by-step method for evaluating rhythm, rate, axis, intervals and morphology to ensure a comprehensive and accurate interpretation based on the patient’s clinical presentation.

To optimise your learning, this course will be delivered via webinars with practice points following each session with interactive case studies. Additional skills videos will be included demonstrating management of abnormal ECGs including cardioversion and transthoracic emergency pacing. You will also have the opportunity to engage with your peers and the presenters during the live webinar via Zoom chat and online community.

The live events will be delivered at the below times. Recordings of the live sessions will be available on-demand 1 week after the live event.
