The ECG Interpretation course aimed to identify basic electrocardiogram (ECG) rhythms either on a cardiac monitor or an ECG paper. ECG plays a crucial role in helping to diagnose, follow-up, and detect any abnormalities in patients’ cardiac conditions. Nurses often work in intensive care units or emergency departments where they are the ones who initially assess patients’ conditions and identify the running ECG rhythms on a cardiac monitor.

The objective of this course was to empower nurses with expertise which is essential for identifying early warning indicators through ECG rhythms among cardiac patients and for reducing the mortality rate of cardiac patients. 

This course has covered the following topics:

  1. Electrophysiology of heart
  2. Cardiac conduction system 
  3. Waveforms
  4. Origins of rhythms
  5. Sinus rhythms
  6. Atrial rhythms
  7. Junctional rhythms
  8. Ventricular rhythms
  9. Rhythms with a pacemaker
  10. 12 lead ECG placement
