Practice Tracings

[nurse79]

Does anyone out there know of any other sites to practice interpreting strips besides the perinataltrace.com? It seems as though that site is still down....:uhoh21: I have texts (including Essentials of Fetal Monitoring) but I would love to practice online!! ThaNks!!

I asked that question myself several weeks ago, maybe 2 months ago, and didn't get any good replies.

if you find one, let me know! Glaringly obvious strips i can figure out, its the subtle ones that can trip you up sometimes

I found this site: http://www.monroecc.edu/depts/pstc/backup/prandekg.htm

You can't print out and measure them, it just shows you them, and then you pick out what rhythm you think it is from a pull down menu.

If I see anymore, I'll let you know.

There is lots of other good info here: http://www.monroecc.edu/depts/pstc/backup/parasedu.htm#tol

It has stuff on anatomy, trauma, 12 leads. I just found this site, but I like it. I wish I had known about it when I first switched to become a cardiac nurse.

Honestly, I do NOT know of another online fetal heart monitoring tracing/practice site. I am bummed that perinatal trace is down, too.

You can go to http://www.richACLS.com and practice there under learning. It will even tell you the rational.

I think us OB nurses are talking about fetal monitoring strips, not cardiac monitoring strips, though :)

[SmilingBluEyes]

Yes we are. The offerings above are for EKG practice, which is valuable information. But I can't seem to find any online sources for FHM strip practice. Frustrating.

yep, youre right. I have super placenta brains these days:) This is the only thing I know of that has any strips online. If i find one for FHM I will post it.
