Course Description
Learn the core rhythms of ACLS practice, defining criteria and ECG features, clinical manifestations, and more. Designed by experienced providers with board-certified physicians and veteran ACLS instructors, this resource is an engaging and comprehensive approach to reviewing the core rhythms of ACLS practice. The resource reviews the pathophysiology, defining criteria and ECG features, clinical manifestations, common etiologies, and ECG presentation for the 15 core rhythms, including ventricular fibrillation and more.
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of the course, the learner will be able to:
-
Identify and interpret normal sinus rhythms on an electrocardiogram (ECG)
-
Analyze ECG waveform morphology to assess the presence of atrial and ventricular hypertrophy
-
Explain the underlying mechanisms and physiological processes involved in different ECG rhythm patterns
-
Evaluate ECG readings to determine the overall cardiac health status and detect any abnormalities
-
Distinguish between normal sinus rhythms and abnormal ECG patterns to identify potential cardiac disorders
-
Discuss the physiological and pathological factors that can lead to specific ECG rhythm abnormalities
-
Categorize ECG rhythms into different groups based on their waveform patterns and clinical significance
-
Recognize and differentiate various abnormal ECG rhythms, such as atrial fibrillation and ventricular tachycardia
Intended Audience
This course is intended for nurses, certified nursing assistants and healthcare assistants.
