Need help with EKG strips

Published

Help!! I have never been able to understand how to read ekg strips. I need to understand them, how to measure them, how the strip correlates with what's actually happening in the heart and how to calculate bpm. Is there anyone who has a good understanding of this and could possibly explain these things to me??

Thanks!!

I bought a book from Barnes and Noble called "EKGs made increadibly easy"

I think they have a whole series of "made increadibly easy books". It helped me out a lot for cardiac

Is this something you are learning as a student or in preparation for NCLEX? You may find some threads already in the Student forums or maybe even in the coronary care forum
