EKG Strips Made Easy

[AlexLL]

Hey, everyone making a series to easily master EKG strips for all those trying to learn how to read them.

Part 1: The Basics

1. Know the normal interval values.

2. Be aware of the measurement of your paper - always use a 6-second strip

3. Look at the rate - norms between 60-80 bpm

4. Whats the rhythm? Measure the R to R interval

Part 2: Atrial Fibrillation vs Atrial Flutter

Afib versus Aflutter

1. Do I have a P-wave? Nope

2. Is my R to R interval regular or irregular? Irregular in both cases

3. Afib is an ugly sister where there is irregularity between the R to R intervals

4. What's the rate? Can be varied anywhere from 120

I will continue adding videos to this series to help you guys master your EKG strips.
